It all started with a psychology course with Test Drive College Online. Now Nyla Woods is working toward a four year criminal justice degree program at an online school. She says that she likes online education because of its convenience and because it fits into her lifestyle.
Nyla is a merchandise associate who had to quit school because of a death in the family. When she came across the Test Drive College Online program, she thought it was a great opportunity to give school another try.
She had to pass an online assessment test, but once she did, she was given the choice of several different courses. She enjoyed her class psychology course so much that she decided to enroll full-time. Her major, criminal justice, is one of the fields that use psychology the most. Understanding the criminal mind is essential to keeping the streets of this country safe.
Test Drive College Online is a great program that gives qualified students the chance to take a complimentary online course so that they can see if online education is right for them. Once completed, students can transfer the course to any college that accepts credit from American Council of Education approved courses.

Psychology was always my favorite subject. To understand the human experience delights me. Wouldn’t a student benefit more from in person instruction or perhaps from the peer-classmate experience? I only wonder, online college is still very interesting to think about.

Test Drive College Online seems like a top notch program. I work as a guidance counselor at a high school and I’m going to make sure that I let my seniors know about this before they graduate as an option available to them.
How long do the classes run? A full semester?

I think the beauty of these classes are that you get to see what you want, and if you don’t like it, you always have other options.
