Col­leges around the coun­try under­stand the impor­tance of accom­mo­dat­ing the dif­fer­ent needs of their stu­dents. Edu­ca­tion plat­forms are con­tin­u­al­ly evolv­ing, mak­ing it eas­i­er than ever to sat­is­fy prospec­tive eco­nom­ics majors who pre­fer dis­tance learn­ing. Rep­utable col­leges offer stu­dents the same qual­i­ty of degree regard­less if they have cho­sen an on-cam­pus or off-cam­pus path to learn­ing.
