Earning College Credits
via the Internet

Many homeschooled students and some private school students have been taking advantage of enrolling in undergraduate college courses for credit with some earning degrees over the internet.  What is most beneficial is allowing homeschooled students the opportunity of working toward their undergraduate college degrees (and, in some cases, earning them) without having to attend a university campus until they are emotionally ready to do so.  Most of the following universities/colleges do not require that a student sit in the class.

You will need to contact the university/college directly to ascertain fees and cost of credit per hour.

Suggestion: Be sure that the course your scholar is taking may be transferred for credit to another university.

The following list of universities will help in this endeavor.
