Degrees OnlinePreviously, earning degrees online used to carry a certain sort of stigma about them many people did not take them seriously, and employers were doubtful about their credibility. Here is a look at how valuable degrees online can be to you. Earning degrees online can offer a variety of benefits to students. Since the mid-1990s, the number of students enrolled in degrees online has been on the rise. Over two-thirds of traditional schools now offer degrees online, many with bachelors or even masters programs. In order for a potential employer to take your degrees online seriously, you need to do some research. This includes the field that you want to study and the different types of schools that offer degrees online in that field. Unfortunately, many students fail to do this research, and opt to choose the fastest or the cheapest online degree programs. Some of these turn out to be scams, with worthless diplomas, causing many employers to be skeptical of the value of all degrees online. The majority of employers feel that degrees taken online from established universities to be more credible than those received from online-only universities. While this may be an unfair judgment of online-only schools, it is a fact that the student needs to consider when making their choice. Plus, sometimes the name recognition of an established school is enough to lend more credibility to your degree. With time, as online schools and their programs gain popularity, their recognition rate may as well. Some increases in credibility of degrees online can be seen in company incentive programs. Some employers offer incentives for students returning to school, in the forms of tuition reimbursement or paid time off for classes. This can be a big benefit for students wanting to move up in their current career field. There is also an increase in the number of employers who are willing to hire students who earned degrees online, furthering the credibility of this form of schooling. |
