Online education, adult college entrance examination, self-taught examination and TV University all issue nationally recognized academic certificates. The treatment of graduates with graduation certificates is the same as that of similar graduates in ordinary colleges and universities. Those who meet the relevant conditions can also apply for a bachelor's degree. Those who have obtained graduation certificates can take postgraduate examinations, civil service examinations, judicial examinations and apply for residence permits. However, there are still some differences in the validity of the four certificates:
At present, 26 foreign countries, including the United States, Britain and Japan, have recognized China's diploma in higher education self-study examination. This is because its diploma pass rate is relatively low and it is difficult to obtain, so its recognition is relatively high. According to the work report of the Shanghai Municipal Government in 2009, by the end of February 2009, the cumulative number of people taking the self-study examination for higher education in the city reached more than 4.08 million,138,200 people obtained college diplomas, and more than 33,300 people obtained undergraduate diplomas. It can be seen that the overall average graduation rate can only reach 4%, and the proportion is even lower if you study undergraduate.
Night college (adult college entrance examination) night school, as its name implies, is an amateur study, but it must be taught in person in class. Only those who meet the entrance examination can enter the school. However, the diploma it issues is adult education, and the gold content of the diploma is not very high.
For online college students, the diploma can be used to study in the United States, Japan, Britain and other countries, and it is also a national series diploma registered and recognized by the state. Moreover, compared with the certificate of adult education desk, online education is a diploma of "ordinary colleges and universities" with high gold content, just like the undergraduate diploma of unified recruitment. And according to statistics, the average graduation rate of our college in 2009 also reached 90%.
In addition, more students who choose online colleges not only want to get a diploma in online education, but also value the famous brands and professional strength that online education colleges rely on. The majors offered by online colleges in many colleges and universities are the key majors of the school. Facts have proved that the employment of online college students like Jiaotong University and Fudan University is also quite competitive. According to statistics, the employment rate of online college graduates exceeded 85% this year, and there are many world-renowned enterprises such as PricewaterhouseCoopers among the employment units.
Therefore, I suggest that when you choose the way of further study, you should clearly understand your specific situation, time schedule, economic conditions, self-discipline ability, learning purpose, interest and so on, and make a choice accordingly. Avoid the mismatch between majors and interests, the difficulty in coordinating working hours and class hours, and ultimately the inability to persist in completing their studies. Really do both study and work.
