online degree programs psychology | Convenience is number two

Back from my Christmas and New Year break

Hope you didn’t miss me too much :-)

Here’s a little tidbit of information I found interesting.

Based a study done by findtherightschool.com, 38 percent of students surveyed said that “convenience” was one of three major factors that influenced their decision to apply or enroll in a particular academic program, which includes both a bachelor’s or master’s degree program.

OK so what was number one?

It seems that “program offerings” was the most important factor, coming in a at 51 percent in the survey.
Of course, if convenience is a big factor, then it stands to reason that online degree programs are a good choice. Online degree programs allow students to work in the convenience of their own homes and at their own pace.
U.S. Department of Labor data shows that about 90 percent of the fastest growing jobs over the next decade will require some form of postsecondary education. So you’ll need have a higher education in order to break into the exciting job market in the future. And getting that education online is a great option for those that already have a steady job and want to move up in thier careers.
