Online Degrees Provide Life Balance

Filed in archive Online Degrees by Rhys on July 26, 2006

Doctors, nutritionists, natural healers, psychologists...these sources tell us, again and again, that a balanced life is the key to physical and emotional health. Of course, in this rush everywhere, high stress world, we often ignore that advice.

But if you're looking for a way to finally make it happen, online learning can help. Research shows that choosing an online degree option, rather than an on-campus 'traditional' route, helps lead to a more balanced life. And who doesn't want that?

While the full-time, campus-based MBA is still popular, there is a growing recognition that not every student is willing to leave both home and workplace for anything between 12 months and two years.

As a result the Distance Learning MBA, whereby candidates can either study completely remotely or combine face-to-face tuition with home-based work, has become a tempting option.

Thanks to the internet and its ability to allow students and academics to work online in virtual classrooms, distance learning students can now choose from a range of options.

Are you searching for balance in your life? If you are already an online student, has it helped you with this goal?

Add your response to Online Degrees Provide Life Balance: Response from: Gary Jacobsen "Fuzzy" Accreditation of Online MBA and MPA Programs Beware of what I would call the "fuzzy" accreditation of online MBA and MPA programs. The fact that an institution has regional accreditation means little when it comes to graduate courses. Case in point: a private, for-profit university in Northern Virginia brags about its “accredited” MBA and MPA programs, but on closer examination cracks are revealed. The MBA degree is not accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which means that AACSB-certified schools will not accept graduate business transfer credits from the non-accredited school, regardless of whether or not the school is "regionally" accredited. This particular institution also offers an MPA degree that is not accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA). >>> Lesson for students: Insist on AACSB and NASPAA accreditation. >>> Lesson for employers: Don't pay for courses from schools that lack AACSB and NASPAA accreditation.
