Correspondence and distance education are two popular learning methods. This paper will compare correspondence education and distance education from four aspects: academic system, difficulty of admission, learning style and social recognition, so as to help readers choose their own learning style.

Comparison of educational systems

Correspondence needs to pass the adult college entrance examination, usually 10 to March of the following year; Distance education does not need to take the adult college entrance examination, and it can be enrolled in spring and autumn, so it is half a year faster than correspondence. The final graduation time of both of them is 2.5 years later.

Admission difficulty

Correspondence admission requirements are relatively high, and it is necessary to participate in the national adult college entrance examination; Distance education only needs to pass the entrance examination of the school.

Learning style

Distance education is more flexible and free, students can choose their study time according to their own situation, and the school website is rich in resources; Correspondence relies more on self-study and weekly face-to-face instruction.

social approval

Both of them are nationally recognized academic qualifications and can be verified in Xuexin.com. Although correspondence has a long history, it is more suitable for on-the-job personnel to upgrade their academic qualifications.
