How strenuous is completing a distance learning bachelor’s degree course in a university of good repute, such as Columbia? I have a job and a child so I can only put in about an hour of studying, daily.
Does Columbia offer an online / distance learning undergraduate degree program? I only knew that they had some online certification and masters courses.
From your other threads you are an international student and a body builder, about to start at NE. Now you also have a job and a child, and 1 hour a day to study?
I quoted Columbia as an example, and not that it’s any of your business, but due to unfortunate circumstances I’ve had to drop out to look after my younger sibling.
The best ‘name’ universities that I know of that offer a distance learning BA are UMass (Amherst), Ohio State (Columbus), UNC (Wilmington), and Penn State. Afaik, the big ‘names’ (like Columbia) aren’t in that space.
Southern New Hampshire (SNHU) has built it’s whole model around distance learning UG programs. They have a thing where you pass a course once you have shown mastery, not by # of hours (great if you get a subject faster than average). I have no direct knowledge of SNHU, though, so maybe other posters can chime in on that.
Thank you, will definitely check these out.

When you post a question, you make it ‘our business’.
Putting in an hour a day, even if you only take one class, probably won’t be enough. Even online, it is college. A three credit course requires 3 hours of classroom time per week (in a typical semester), plus usually an equal amount of time out of the classroom to do the reading, write papers, or other prep work, and just plain studying. You should expect to spend 6-10 hours per week on a class.
