How to prepare Financially before applying for a Distance Degree?

Before applying for a distance degree, one of the most important things to do is to research how much the degree program costs. Rather than charging by the term, many online programs charge by the credit hour or course. To calculate total costs, prospective students should figure out how many credits they plan to transfer, if any, and consult with an adviser to map out their degree path. It is also important to check if there are any scholarships, grants, employer reimbursements or financial aid being offered before applying.
