While everyone has their own definitions of “easy” and “hard,” online degree programs are typically no more difficult than if you were to attend college in person. The biggest factor that usually determines the difficulty of an online learning experience is the level of degree you’re pursuing, with associate degrees normally seen as an entry-level college degree, with coursework becoming more challenging as you progress to a bachelor’s degree and then a graduate degree.
