WEBBSIT, BSIT at Clayton State University

image Clayton State University, as well as Georgia Southern University, and other universities in the University of Georgia system offer an online Bachelor of Science Degree in Information Technology via the WEBBSIT program. This is a great, accredited, trustworthy online college degree program offered online. The catch is that some of the classes require visits to campus, but I find it worthwhile. I am taking five completely online classes this semester. You must be accepted to the University in order to attend, and tuition, $310 per credit hour, is a bit higher than for normal, physical classes. The difference is slight and usually the amount one would spend on gas to and from class. Most exams are proctored, but you may pick locations in your area. A few are held online.

Taking 5 classes online is not simple. It takes a lot of discipline. This is usually my daily schedule, although I vary it. I do work from home for a website at the moment, and I work around 2-3 hours a day. I often stray from the schedule, but it takes this much effort at least 3-4 days a week.





10am - Work

1pm - Workout

2pm - Math

3pm - SAD

4pm - Digital Media

5 pm - Web Design

6 pm - Operating Systems

7 pm - A+

8pm - Clean Apartment / Chores / Recycling / etc

9 pm - CRM

10pm - 1 hour on business ideas / blogs / etc

As to the interface for my classes, it is easy to navigate, accessible from anywhere, and fun. My class members and I often hold conversations via live chat and discussion boards moderated by teachers. As an IT student, I learn hands-on. We don’t just read about Photoshop, we use it. This semester, I learned how to make my own server from home. The classes are educational and the teachers are professors and doctors from nearby universities who have elected to teach college online. I hope that this has been a decent introduction to the world of college online.
