Delivering on a Promise
When a concept challenges the norm, it can be greeted with skepticism. In the case of distance education, accountability and outcomes is a frequent topic of discussion among those interested in furthering their education.
Most often coming into question is whether or not higher education delivers on its promises, can more education be worth the extra effort and added expense, and how is online education the best of all worlds.
The Outstanding DETC Graduate of the Year program is living testimony of why the answer is a resounding yes to those who ask these questions, said Michael P. Lambert, DETC Executive Director.
In addition to online schools like as Ashworth offering accredited online diploma, certificate or degree programs for up to 50% less than traditional brick and mortar institutions, DETC proudly points out the achievements of the Graduate of the Year nominees who represents the thousands of Ashworth Graduates already having changed their lives for the better by persisting and getting advanced education.
To those who question the value of going to college online or continuing ones education beyond secondary school, we maintain that there are few better investments one can make than investing in a quality education, Lambert added.
