Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Online Degrees:Increasing Popularity and Credibility
If there’s one thing that the Great Recession has taught us, it’s the factthat a good education is valued even during the toughest of times. While somemay question the wisdom in investing in a college education in theserecessionary times, statistics reveal that the jobless rate for people with aBachelor’s degree stands at half of the overall jobless rate in the country. Ifthat’s not a reason enough to open your eyes to the growing reality thateducation is your most potent weapon against economic downturn, then nothingwill. Unfortunately, many of us may find it difficult to get a college degreedue to a variety of reasons. Financial responsibilities, domestic circumstancesor lack of funds could pose barriers to a college education. For such people,online degree programs are a huge bonus.
Online degree programs are gaining popularity not just with workingprofessionals, at-home mothers, and single parents, but it’s fast becoming thechosen mode of higher education for many full time students as well. SloanConsortium, an organization focused on improving the standards of distanceeducation in the country, released a report claiming that 3.2 million studentstook at least one online course during 2005.
Keeping pace with the times and to meet the growing demand, manyinternational universities are now offering online degree programs. In fact,according to the National Center for Education Statistics, 66 percent of theTitle IV (eligible for Federal Student Aid) degree-granting postsecondaryinstitutions offered distance education courses in the academic year2006-07.
So, why have more and more students started to prefer online degreeprograms? The reasons are many. These courses are often self-paced and providestudents the flexibility to devise their own schedules, which works well forthose who have jobs or families to care for. Since the students can access thelearning resources from home, they are not bound by geographic limitations.Online degree programs are naturally much cheaper than their traditional,on-campus versions and the courses available range from diplomas andcertificates to higher degrees such as Bachelor’s, Master’s, and even a Ph.D.Moreover, many universities offer financial aid to deserving students.
However, one niggling question that remains in the hearts and mind of thosearmed with an online degreeprogram is their market value. Perception about online degrees hasdefinitely changed for the better over time. According to a report released bySloan Consortium, the percentage of academic leaders who rated learningoutcomes in online education as the same or superior to those in face-to-faceincreased from 57 percent in 2003 to 62 percent in 2006. A survey by DistanceEducation and Training Council revealed that 70 percent of corporatesupervisors rated online or distance degrees just as valuable or more valuablethan traditional degrees in the same field. However, one must consider the factthat some online degrees are more readily embraced by employers than others.Among these are degrees in healthcare, business, and technology.
With changing perception and growing acceptance of online degrees, the worldis yours to conquer. All you need to do is make sure you earn the degree from auniversity of repute and avoid dubious institutes or “diploma mills” that offerfake degrees at a cost.
