Can I Save Money Taking a Distance Learning Class?

Taking a distance learning course can be a great learning experience. In addition it may save you money over a traditional face-to-face (F2F) class taken on campus. There are several hidden costs in addition to books and tuition when you take a F2F class. This questionnaire will help you to determine the approximate savings. Take this questionnaire and see how much you may save.
To use this questionnaire, answer all the questions below that apply to your situation. Then click the CALCULATE button.
     
  • If you drive to and from campus, how many miles is one way to school?
  • What is your car's gas mileage (in miles per gallon)?
  • What is the average cost per gallon of gas for your car?
  • What other costs are associated with your commute to/from campus (include daily parking fee, public transportation etc.)?
  • What does child care cost you per hour for your class time?
  • How many minutes does it take to commute to campus one way?
  • What is your personal time worth (in dollars per hour)?

 
 
 
We offer those of you who are potential online students, two tests to assist you in determining whether you are a person who will be successful taking an online class. This test dealt with who you are as a person. The other one: Do I have the technical skills and knowledge to learn online? deals with the technical skills and knowledge needed for the online student. If you are a potential online student and have not taken the other quiz, we recommend that you link there next. We recommend that after you have taken each test you print the results and take them to your Palm Beach State academic advisor.
