Choosing Your Program
Posted by Jen Zeman on July 13th, 2008
Choosing the best online program starts with realizing exactly what discipline you want to study. Many colleges offer several different forms of business degrees online, but if business-type disciplines are not interesting to you, don’t settle. For instance, I was interested in becoming a paralegal so I researched the Internet for schools that offered bachelor’s degrees online for legal studies and I found one at the University of Maryland University College. For my master’s I wanted a liberal studies program and found one at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. Broaden your search outside of your resident state if you have to (I had to for the master’s degree). As online programs continue their gain in popularity, colleges and universities are offering a larger variety of programs online to meet the variety of needs and desires of students beyond the typical business degree. As you find programs that interest you, research the requirements of the program to determine if it is truly right for you.
Next week’s posting will discuss the financial aspects of going back to school.
