There are some online programs that can never be delivered entirely over the Internet. For instance, many degrees in geography, botany, and other geophysical areas need to have some intensive field work, as do degrees in the agricultural sciences. These kinds of programs will deliver many of the courses online, but arrange field trips in the vicinity of groups of students, or alternatively arrange joint field trips with institutions that are situated near the geographical location of students.
This mix of delivery can be very stimulating, allowing you as a student to meet other students and to discuss online program issues face to face. Don't be put off this kind of program by the need to attend non-online courses, you can really benefit from them.
