Distance learning graduate degree programs target working adults
Posted on 7/19/2010
Online masters degree programs may be an ideal avenue for individuals who are looking to change careers without taking time off work. In fact, many of these programs are designed to lead degree seekers into a fulfilling position as soon as they graduate.
Some programs even allow students to gain work experience as part of their coursework. For instance, the web-based Northern Plains Transition to Teaching program at Montana State University allows prospective educators to work in schools during their second year of study.
After their first year in the program, enrollees can earn a temporary teaching license. When they complete their studies, school administrators will recommend these individuals for full licensure.
School officials say that the curriculum is designed for bachelors degree holders who have worked in other fields, but wish to enter the education sector.
Specialized courses of study such as this one could help working adults launch a rewarding career without putting themselves in debt, as internet-based classes can enable them to schedule their learning around a full-time job.
