Distance Education, a new resource website, sets out to help college students make better financial decisions when it comes to choosing online education providers.
The website, which took over six months to research, began in the mind of its founder, Benjamin Pfeiffer, nearly two years ago, when he discovered more online institutions were making it difficult to figure out exact tuition, materials and school costs.
The website was designed to help students get a better handle on the cost difference between attending college in person versus attending college online, Pfeiffer said. But thats not the only reason the website exists. Weve implemented many tools to help high school students, continuing college students, and adults seeking alternative careers find the perfect online education provider to meet their educational, personal, and financial needs.
