Reader’s Question:

I’m sorry dear but I am not a fan of this technology called the internet. Everything is done through it and I’m not sure it’s as real as the real thing. I even heard that there are now online degrees for college available! Call me old-fashioned but I still believe that University of Berkeley in Berkeley, California is the best when it comes to earning a college degree.

Hello, Miranda, too bad you didn’t mention your age, or is that a secret (wink)?

Online college degrees are getting to be more and more popular nowadays, yes, I grant you that, and this is because more and more of our countrymen need to work immediately and can no longer afford to spend the time earning a college degree the traditional way. Sure, it will not be the same as going to a physical university in Berkeley, California, after all, they say education does not only happen in classrooms but with interacting with people from all walks of life; but if one cannot afford this, should she be deprived of a college degree and therefore be less competitive in the world of corporate America? I don’t think so and that is why online college degree programs were developed and it is in fact equivalent to a college degree earned the traditional way.

There are many universities and colleges in Berkeley, California offering online degree programs and you might be surprised, Miranda, to know that your alma mater in fact has an extensive online college degree programs ranging from engineering to management to many other courses. Professors for the online college degree programs will be the same professors teaching in the halls of your dear university, Miranda. You should be glad to know that your alma mater has recognized and adapted well to the needs of our working students!
