Convenience & Flexibility: Online Degrees

By: Ken McCauley The word is finally out: the educational world is changing - at a very fast pace. In your father's day, you graduated from high school only to begin attending college - and you didn't stop until you graduated (or dropped out). Only then did you begin your 'adult' life - a career and family.

All that has changed, of course. Today people may delay their entry into college for any number of reasons: pursuing military service, single parenting, perhaps just an unwillingness to pursue further schooling at that time. Many people just start their careers (or attempt to start them) by entering the job market straight out of high school.

Then something happens - the light finally goes on, and they say, "I need more educational training!" But, at that time of life, responsibilities and commitments may make it difficult, if not impossible, to devote 3 to 4 (or more) years to higher educational pursuits. Did you know that the average age of the university graduate is steadily climbing? That means that, more than ever, people are returning to school later in life.

Enter the University of Phoenix. They understood, as few did at that time, that the educational landscape was changing and they needed to change with it. They introduced many innovative approaches to higher education, allowing people with very busy lives and commitments to reach their educational goals online. The folks at the University of Phoenix realize that many adults just don't have the time to give to traditional on-campus attendance, so they have leveraged the Web - and they, via the Internet, bring their classes to you.

The degree programs and course offerings from the University of Phoenix are many and varied. You can pursue courses in Marketing, Management, Criminal Justice, IT, Business, Nursing, Education, Health Care and others. And they are developing new programs of study all the time. And rest assured: all of their instructors hold Masters or Doctorate degrees.

And the payoff? By taking classes through the University of Phoenix, you can complete most degree programs in 2-3 years! Imagine - an accredited degree in less time than traditional schools, even while maintaining full-time jobs and family responsibilities! Both non-degree, Bachelors and Masters programs are available. And with your weekday schedule in mind, they offer classes on nights and weekends, and major assignments can be completed during the weekends.

One of the very best things about working with the University of Phoenix is that when you contact them with more information, they will assign a real, live human being as your contact resource person. This person will answer any questions that you might have about the program, will help you to arrange payments for courses, and work with you to enroll in your first courses. They serve as a kind of "academic advisor" to help you get your educational pursuits into high gear.

So, what are you waiting for? You know you need more education - even your family and friends have been telling you that. You have the drive. Life has prepared you - you are ready. All you need now is someone to help you realize those educational dreams - and the University of Phoenix is a great school that will help you do just that!
