Thinking about getting a degree? Here are three reasons why you should consider an online education

BYU-Pathway Worldwide provides access to online higher education at a low cost, including foundational courses (PathwayConnect) and online degree programs from BYU-Idaho and Ensign College. This program is revolutionizing the way people around the world are able to get a degree without ever stepping foot on a college campus.

Here are just three reasons why you should get your education online through BYU-Pathway:

1. It’s flexible

Finding the time to balance daily responsibilities while pursuing an education can be overwhelming, but BYU-Pathway gives you the freedom to work around your daily schedule.

After completing PathwayConnect, you can choose from dozens of online certificates and degrees from BYU-Idaho or Ensign College, supported by BYU-Pathway. You get to decide how many courses you take each semester, finishing your education in a time frame you set.

2. It’s affordable

Since you wouldn’t have to attend school on a campus as a BYU-Pathway student, you would only pay for your courses. This allows you to participate from anywhere in the world at a low price. Also, if you complete PathwayConnect first, you get to keep the same reduced tuition rate you paid in PathwayConnect throughout your online degree program.
