What are the differences between online RN degrees and traditional RN degrees?

Online Degrees vs. On-Campus Degrees

If you are considering getting your RN online degree at South University, you may be wondering what the differences are between the South University online degree programs and traditional, on-campus degree programs. Here are some of the major differences:

  • No travel time. With South University's online degrees, you won't have to travel to campus to go to class, and you won't have to worry about parking and walking to your class. South University also does not have residency requirements for their nursing students
  • Work at your own pace. South University Online is dedicated to making your classes convenient for you. You can work on your class work on your time and with your schedule
  • Face-to-face interaction is replaced with online interaction. One of the major differences between online courses and traditional courses, and one that many students are concerned about, is the lack of face-to-face interaction with other students and teachers. South University Online's nursing programs compensate for this lack of interaction by providing online tools for students and professors to talk and provide support to each other

Remember that both online degrees and traditional degrees require a substantial time commitment and one is not “easier” than the other.
