Most of the courses which are offered online are purely academic and obviously do not require any lab/practical work. Courses such as technical writing, business studies, law, management studies, English ligature, languages, some computer and mathematics are typical examples of areas on which online courses are offered.

If you have a particular subject in mind that you would like to study online then you would have to ‘shop’ around and see if it is available online.

Some colleges and universities which offer online courses are more flexible that others. If you are seriously interested in online learning it is a good idea to start off taking just one online course before registering for any online degree programs.
