There
are many reasons why prospective non-traditional students decide
to work with a degree consultant, some of the most important
being the following:
With
thousands of degree programmes, offered by hundreds of institutions
around the globe which greatly differ with regard to quality
and status, it is both very difficult and critical to choose
the most appropriate option
Many of the institutions do not promote themselves and there
is no guide or database which includes relevant information
about all degree programmes
With rules and regulations greatly varying from country
to country, it is almost impossible for the layman to determine
whether a school is recognized and legitimate or not, especially
as the non-traditional learning system is largely misused
by dubious schools and title sellers
Application, enrolment and evaluation procedures can be
very bureaucratic and are not easy to manage
Some of the best schools are very competitive, thus it is
wise to hire a degree consultant who has connections to
admission committees and school advisors
