Online Degrees Anytime

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON - Angela Bostic will get her MBA in August from the University of Maryland University College, part of a dual master's degree she is pursuing. She has never met a professor, has never sat in a classroom and has checked out the Adelphi campus only once, long after she had enrolled. In fact, until recently, the 28-year-old graduate student had been studying from Brussels. Bostic is among an extraordinarily fast-growing number of students nationwide and worldwide who are turning to online degree programs to complete or advance their educations while they work, decisions that are driven by economics as well as by a society that is increasingly mobile. please click for more information

Online Education Soars

Pratiksha Patel and her brother, Jignesh, both decided to earn college degrees over the Internet. But while Jignesh enrolled at the for-profit University of Phoenix, Pratiksha sought a more selective, prestigious school. After scanning a list of America's top 100 colleges, the Culver City, Calif., resident chose the University of Massachusetts.

Ms. Patel, a procurement-company operations manager with a community-college degree, was admitted to UMass's online program in business administration in spring 2004 and maintains an "A" average. She has visited the UMass campus only once, but she takes courses from its regular faculty, gets lots of feedback and develops friendships with classmates, just as on-campus students do. "With outsourcing, I wanted to be competitive and include a quality education in my skill set," says Ms. Patel, a 32-year-old single mother who contributes to online class discussions after her two children go to bed.

By Krysten Crawford, November 28, 2005

Last year samantha Kitover reached a critical point in her career. A 25-year-old Chicagoan who works as a sales trainer for Canon (CAJ) USA, Kitover figured she’d boost her salary and increase her options if she got an MBA. But she didn’t want to quit her job, and frequent business trips ruled out a part-time program at a local college. “I couldn’t guarantee I would be in town for a Saturday class,” she says.

Online programs give students a shot at degrees away from campus

As a young bride working a full-time job in a small north Alabama town, getting a college degree seemed almost out of reach for Rebecca Fossett.

Fossett, who lives in Section, was more than an hour away from the closest four-year colleges, but she had ambitions for bachelor's and master's degrees in business.

She quickly found a solution with a few clicks on her computer - the Internet. Now Fossett is graduating next month with a bachelor's degree in business management from Athens State University, taking the bulk of her classes online, sometimes never stepping into a classroom for months.

She is not alone. Online degree programs - once limited to community colleges and online universities - are now popping up at well-known four-year colleges nationwide, including Boston University, Indiana University, Seton Hall University, the University of Oklahoma and the University of Alabama.
