Question

consider this claim: online colleges prepare students for careers just as well as traditional brick-and-mortar schools do. which is the strongest evidence to support the claim? many students choose to gain some credits through an online college program and then successfully transfer to a brick-and-mortar institution to complete a degree. online college programs often provide career preparation services that are equivalent to those provided by traditional college programs, including interview preparation, job fairs, and even internship placement. \ive hired two people recently who received their college degrees through online programs, and the quality of their performance is as good as, if not better than, that of their peers,\ reported business owner jake lawson.

Explanation:

To support the claim that online colleges prepare students for careers as well as traditional schools, we analyze each option:

• The first option is about credit transfer and degree completion, not directly about career preparation.
• The second option states that online programs offer career services (interview prep, job fairs, internships) equivalent to traditional ones, directly addressing career preparation.
• The third option is a single business owner's anecdote, which is less generalizable than evidence about program - wide career services.

Answer:

Online college programs often provide career preparation services that are equivalent to those provided by traditional college programs, including interview preparation, job fairs, and even internship placement.
