With the number of colleges and schools offering online
programs and distance learning programs, the options seem
infinite and trying to do research on the best programs can
be quite the task! Students often have questions about
whether the programs are accredited, what it takes to be a
successful online learning, what kinds of jobs are available
for are available for students who graduate from online
programs, and the degree programs that are most marketable.
One trend is for people who may have started their degree
but did not complete their studies, online distance
education seems to be the currently most flexible way to
return to school to finish up their degree. The convenience
is particularly important for people with fulltime jobs
and/or families to take care of. Another trend is that many
traditional (campus-based) colleges and universities are
also offering online courses and full degree programs to
cater to students who are unable to attend classes
physically.

Studies and online surveys seem to suggest that while the
trends in online degrees fluctuate each quarter and within
different degree levels some areas of study remain very
popular: These are: Business, Healthcare (Nursing,
Psychology, Medical Billing and Coding); Education,
Engineering and Computer Information Systems, and Criminal
Justice.

More research and evidence also suggest that increasingly,
more graduate students at both the masters and doctoral
level are enrolling in online degree programs given their
need for flexibility and continuity in their professional
endeavors.

For business degrees, the masters and bachelors programs
remain very popular. The Masters in Business Administration
(MBA) for example has become a requirement for most
mid-level managers. This means that more business
professionals are seeking to get higher qualifications and
are doing so through online programs. It also means that
more graduate schools are offering online MBA programs.
Concentrations such as accounting, project management, risk
management, human resource management and finance are
capturing the interests of the students.

There is still a great demand for certain areas of practice
in the medical and healthcare profession despite the growth
in the fields. These areas are medical transcription,
medical billing, medical coding, and health care
administration. In particular, nursing (LPN, RN, BSN, and
MSN) is projected to continue to need trained professional.
The shortage of nurses has resulted from developments in
medical technology and an aging baby boomer generation that
is retiring.

Another area that continues to have a need especially at the
graduate level of study is teacher education. Special
education, mathematics education, and science education for
example fall under teacher education and do continue to
experience a need for trained certified teachers. Other
areas are educational administration, educational
technology, and educational leadership.

In this information age we live in, technology continues to
advance. Subsequently, degree programs in certain areas such
as computer security, information technology, software
engineering, and web development continue to serve this body
of students who want to join various professions in this
field. One advantage is that technology is being applied to
all areas thus is not industry specific.

Criminal justice online degree programs are popular
regardless of whether it is at the masters, bachelors, or
associates degree level. The need for trained professional
remains in many areas of practice including law enforcement,
homeland security, forensics, investigation, paralegal and
legal services, corrections, and law enforcement.

When deciding on your future career, several things need to
be considered. One is the fact that while some degrees that
are not every popular with students, there is an industry
need in certain areas. These areas also tend to pay quite
well. A second consideration is to ensure that the college
you will to attend is accredited. This consideration is
paramount; otherwise you will waste a lot of time and money.
Finally, determine whether the financial elements and
scheduling issues will work for you.
