The demand for undergraduate and professional courses at a distance has been on the rise in recent years, a fact that is statistically proven. According to the Higher Education Census released on September 20, there was a 17.6% increase in enrollments in distance graduation courses. The trend is the same in master's and specialization courses, in addition to professional courses.
The great advantage of EaD courses is the ease of access, as most candidates do not have time to follow face-to-face classes, in addition to the financial issue itself. However, amid the offer of options, it is necessary to “separate the wheat from the chaff” in order to really study something of quality that adds content to your professional and academic life.
