what is the difference between a correspondence course and distance learning? r they same?

We Answered:

I'd say that a correspondence course is a form of distance learning. My understanding is that in a correspondecne course, one receives a packet of material to read/study with instructions as to what homework/project one must turn in before moving on to the next part of the course.

Distance education courses today tend to be run via computer rather than via snail mail.

Jonathan Said:

i wanted to know whether we can apply for distance learning (correspondence course) while studying elsewhere?

We Answered:

No, you can not or should not do two courses at the same time from UGC recognised universities as this is not allowed as two degrees done concurrently are not considered valid. If you want to do certificate course from a unrecognized private institute than go ahead.

what do you think about distance learning schools or correspondence education?

Hello starshine,

First off, let me tell you that distance learning (DL) is here to stay. Most major universities in the USA and Europe, and many in Latin America, offer DL courses. In fact, many major universities offer entire degrees via DL. Your main concern should be accreditation. Although every country uses its own criteria to certify or accredit schools, you want to be sure that the school you choose is accredited by a recognized entity.

In the USA, the Department of Education publishes a list of approved accrediting agencies:

Now, as for your question regarding Stratford Career Institute, I checked their web-site and could not find any mention of accreditation by a recognized agency. Although their education may be fine, I would look for a distance school with national (DETC) or regional accreditation.

My wife is enrolled at Penn Foster College, http://www.pennfostercollege.edu/ They offer career training and Associate college degrees, and are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. I, on the other hand, have been a DL student for most of my post-secondary education. At present, I am working on a MBA at California Coast University, http://www.calcoast.edu/ which is also accredited by DETC.

There are many excellent distance education alternatives available. You are doing the right thing by asking questions and being informed.

Good luck,

Buena Suerte...
