Going Back To School? Here Are The Top 5 Online Programs To Pursue

July 12, 2012 by Guest Contributor

Top 5 Online Programs

Today’s job market is tough. If you are thinking about going back to school but don’t want to waste your money on degrees that won’t help you find a career that is in demand, take a look at some online programs that will pay for themselves. One major benefit of taking classes online is that anyone from almost anywhere can have access to a computer these days.  Case in point, in the picture below, a young Brazilian man checks out the new computer center in the city of Cabrália, Brazil. The center provides broadband access, 3G mobile Internet, and custom applications for managing fishing businesses, equipment, and training. Once trained and properly equipped, local fishermen, including those from the Pataxó indigenous ethnic group, will be able to broker deals with buyers, access weather information, and manage economic activities, all in real-time.

1. Business Administration

Online programs in business administration start at the associate degree level and go all the way up to the MBA, or Masters of Business Administration. If you have never attended college or didn’t earn a degree when you did, the two-year degree is a great place to start. You can always continue working toward a more advanced degree one step at a time. Expect to take classes in all areas of business for these degrees, including management, economics, and accounting to develop a broad knowledge base. According the the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Catalog a wide variety of jobs require an MBA, including everything from Financial Analysts, to Top Corporate Executives, Atmospheric Scientists and museum curators.

Online Program2. Education

If you love children, a teaching career could be a great fit for you in a growing field. It’s no secret that the world population is growing at an exponential rate, leading to an increase in demand for educators to teach the growing number of children. Bachelors degrees in education can be earned online, but many states require that you also spend a certain amount of time in a classroom to earn your teaching certificate. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the number of jobs for teachers is expected to increase faster than the average for all occupations through 2018.

 

3. Computer Science

Computer science degrees are perfectly formatted for online learning because you are learning in the environment you will need to know inside and out to complete your degree. Whether you are interested in web development, computer programming or software engineering, you can find a specialized degree that you can complete 100 percent online. According to the BLS positions like software developers is projected to grow 30 percent from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations.

What to Look for in an Online Degree Program

May 7, 2012 by Guest Contributor

Even with rising Education costs and high unemployment rates it still pays to have a college degree.  (See:  The Difference a Degree Makes in Unemployment Levels)  One way to save a lot of money on your education is to use an online degree program. Many “Bricks and Mortar” Universities are offering on-line degrees as well in an effort to expand their student body without having to build additional buildings. So both the student and the University benefits. You can even work while taking classes because most online degrees do not require you to be present at a specific time so you can view the lectures and do the homework at a time that fits your schedule.
