Alaska is a beautiful state with a few very good schools. Unfortunately, the remote nature of the state makes it difficult for students to really open the world of options to themselves, without first relocating. Fortunately, online degree programs offer options to those in Alaska in a way that has never been available before. There are even some schools that provide laptops to students that wish to dedicate a machine to their school work. Not every school offers a free laptop, or a laptop at all, but you can go to school online from the computer you are on right now. All you need is a word processor, web browser and a connection to the internet.
