Degree programs in the US are changing rapidly. In the past, students decided whether they wanted to study in a traditional manner in the classroom, or by a method of distance learning such as online programs.
However, today this is changing. Many students want to choose how they study individual courses in their programs. They may decide that it is beneficial to study one course in the classroom because the classroom interaction helps them to absorb the knowledge more easily. Another course could be taken online, allowing students to study in their own space and to their own timetable. Colleges and universities are beginning to accommodate this change in pattern, and as they increasingly offer the same programs in a variety of learning modes, they can offer this degree of flexibility easily.
