Is there a difference between an on-campus degree vs. online degree?

No, an online degree from the Western University of Georgia will not contain any references to "online" on the diploma or transcript. An online degree from Western University is the same degree earned any other on-campus university. The only difference is that with an online degree, you don't have to physically attend classes. You can take classes from the comfort of your own home and reduce travel time and costs typically associated with learning on campus.

With an online degree from Western University, you will receive the same degree as that of on-campus students, and be taught by the same world-class faculty. Our online degree curriculum is just as rigorous if not more challenging. If you want to make the best out of your degree without having to sacrifice time with your family or work, an online degree through the Western University of Georgia is your answer. An online degree earned through the Western University will stand the test of time.
