Ready to pursue your dream career, but don't think you have the time to go back to school and prepare for it? Good news: with the flexibility offered by an online degree program, you could go back to school without quitting your day job.
That's right. With an online program, you could study whenever and wherever it's most convenient for you. But that's not the only perk of online education.
"[Students] are exposed to a contemporary technological environment, and that experience transfers to a work environment," says Tom Mackey, dean of the Center for Distance Learning at State University of New York (SUNY), Empire State College.
Mackey, who has taught with web-based technologies for several years, has also seen how online degree programs have the potential to sharpen the skills that could eventually be used in students' dream careers.
"Besides learning the content in the courses they take, students are learning to work with other students in an online community," Mackey says. "Those skills make them stronger candidates in the workplace because we have seen how important technology is in so many fields."
If you're ready to go after your dream career - with the help of an online education - check out these five flexible degree programs.
