Although it is true that for a long time distance or online education did not enjoy the same popularity as face-to-face education. Thanks to technology and the work of pioneering institutions, this perception has changed, even being currently preferred by many, since it is known to provide improvements to face-to-face study systems.
There are so many advantages today in virtuality, that it would be a waste to limit your career and life opportunities, to a geographical area or budget, even more so when it comes to doctoral or postdoctoral study, where the offers tend to be more scarce and limited.
It is proven (and just do some research online) that a virtual program is less expensive and much more versatile than a face-to-face course. Allowing students to gain a level from home with the same superior quality training they get from traditional universities.
