Frequently Asked Questions about Online College Reviews

    How do I apply?

    Like many other aspects of the online learning process, applying for a particular degree program is relatively simple. All of the schools that we have reviewed allow students to begin the application process online by completing a web based form. You can access this form by clicking the "Go to Site" link for any of the schools listed on our comparison chart. Once you have submitted the online form, you will be contacted by an admissions representative from the school you selected. Typically, the admissions representative will set up a time to speak with you over the phone to discuss your goals and interests as well as answer any questions you have about their college or university. It is a good idea to have a family member or trusted friend join you on this phone call to help you retain all the information that will be discussed.
