Prospective engineering students must consider several factors when pursuing an online engineering degree. These include examining the quality of the program and faculty, accreditation, how long it takes to complete the program, cost, and other variables. Distance education requires substantially more independence than traditional, on-campus degree programs. Therefore students pursuing an online engineering program should consider:
In addition to the above questions, aspiring students should determine their program’s accreditation and state authorization statuses before making a final decision.
Accreditation is a term that means that a program has met certain quality standards required by an accrediting agency. In order to receive accreditation, a school must meet criteria related to student outcomes and services, educators, and academic objectives. Because of this, accreditation from recognized entities can indicate a high quality program. As a student, graduation from an accredited program also may be required to qualify for certain graduate programs, certifications, or employment opportunities.
Since not all accrediting organizations are the same, aspiring students should seek out programs which have been accredited by an organization approved by the U.S. Department of Education’s Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). In addition, students should understand that accreditation is available through different organizations. Here are the prominent organizations that accredit online engineering programs in Oklahoma:
National accreditation
Regional accreditation
Programmatic accreditation
Students in Oklahoma are only eligible to enroll in online engineering programs that have been authorized to operate in OK. Also, some online engineering programs in other states may not provide admissions to non-residents, or have differing tuition for residents and nonresidents. Online students should carefully examine state policies before applying to any programs and be sure to contact program coordinators to ensure out-of-state eligibility.
Admissions requirements differ depending on the university and program. Prospective students should contact the specific program of interest to find out the exact requirements and deadlines involved. Here are some typical admissions requirements for online engineering programs:
