Aspiring graduate students have more options than ever before. Until recently, students who wished to pursue a graduate education often were forced to relocate in order to live near school or they often faced long commutes to far away campuses. Today many students relocate or commute, but a growing number of students avoid the common geographic challenges of graduate study and instead enroll in online graduate programs.
