How long it takes to complete an online
college class is going to depend on a number of factors, the first is
the how the class is structured and secondly how fast you can work
through the material. Many online colleges still use the traditional
semester system, if this is the case it is going to take you 16 weeks
to complete each course that you register for.
A lot of online colleges have started
to moved towards a system in which they offer a more compressed time
line for the courses, usually eight weeks. In this case you would
take half as many courses but complete them twice as fast as you
would on a traditional semester system. Ultimately it will take you
the same amount of time to complete the degree but if you do need to
complete one or two courses quickly this can be a great option.
The fastest way to complete an online
college course is by choosing a school that offers self paced
courses. These are courses that you can start at any time and which
you work through at your own pace. Normally have six months to
complete the course but if you can do it much faster than that if you
choose. How fast will depend on a number of factors.
If you enrol in a course where you are
already comfortable with the material it may be possible to complete
the course in less than a week. This however will depend on how many
assignments there are if any. It may not be possible to work through
them that fast and even if you can you may not be able to submit the
next one until you have received the last one back. If you want to
take a course really quickly look for one that has few assignments,
none would be best.
If you enrol in a self paced course and
you are not familiar with the material it is probably unrealistic
that you can work through the course in a week. If you really need to
you may be able to devote full time study to it for a week to get
through it but this is not practical for most people. Realistically
depending on how many classes you are enrolled in you should expect
to spend the 8 to 16 weeks that it would take if enrolled in a
semestered course.
