Volgoat, on-line education is very much the modern day trend. Even high-schools now offer college classes on-line! My oldest high-school son has taken/ is taking approximately 17 AP college classes and has passed all the formal college exams he has completed. Yet, some of these classes he had to take on-line due to taking above the normal curriculum. He has also taken classes at a university that were not taught at the high-school or on-line, such as neural science. When he finally graduates from high-school, he will already have completed 2 years of college!
I have also taken classes on-line, after graduating top of my class in computer science at a physical university. Sometimes, it's difficult to attend a local university due to career traveling, frequent spouse job re-location, pregnancy, illness, taking care of sick family members, or being a single parent, etc. Besides, many companies offer to pay for advanced degrees through on-line universities while working.
This is the modern era, why be so confined in thinking?
