Gone are the days when students had to wake up in the morning, wash up, dress and run to catch the bus! Gone are the days when students had to write lengthy research papers to submit to that hot-tempered professor next morning! Everything has changed or the ones that didn't change will soon cave in to the revolution that online education has brought.

The internet fever has redefined everything under the sun - creating limitless possibilities for us to discover, explore, think and reshape our lives according to our choice. Therefore, it was all expected that education too will be taken over as it did. Take a look at the scores of online colleges & universities; they give us enough clues about how the future would look like. The advent of internet has totally transformed the way we use to acquire education.

Fifteen years ago, a student in Florida could never have imagined that he would ever be able to take direct classes from lets say, Columbia University, at New York; it was something outside the scope of his imagination. Simply unthinkable!

But today, students from faraway places like India, China even North Africa are 'attending' classes at Universities in US, Canada and the UK. Enrolling in multitude of online degree subjects and pursuing online degrees from their location.

The affects of internet in the realm of education are truly remarkable. It has changed the traditional face of pursuing education by opening a new window of opportunity called e-learning. As expected, this new trend of online education has gained a solid ground in all the premier universities like Columbia, Yale and MIT and leading industries where graduates aspire to work and build their careers.

And people in general are also liberally welcoming this trend, as data suggests, ever since Universities began offering online degrees in the US, people of all ages and races began flocking in to enroll in various online degree subjects. Students and professional are flocking to these online universities in hope of personal as well as professional development for thriving careers.

Online colleges & universities today are offering online degrees in various fields to students from all over the world. Students are studying from home through online chats, discussion boards, webcams and what not, making the much-dreaded warning a reality, that the conservative formalities of traditional education - long years, discipline, punctuality are all loosing ground to the convenience and flexibility that a 21st century innovation called the Internet has brought for the people.
