Three Aquaculture Online Courses
Can Help You Save on Gas
The cost of fuel has become another consideration
for students seeking degrees or working on
professional development programs.
A primary convenience of online (Internet) courses
has always been the time saved in not having to
drive to a campus location. Now, the cost of fuel
is adding to the pain for traditional students.
