Program Features
Online programs tend to focus more on career-oriented fields, which include majors for those currently employed and those who will be looking for a job once they get their degree. Degree programs include those for students who are starting fields of study completely anew, as well as degree completion programs for those who have already attended some college or otherwise have credits to put towards a degree. Many online students choose to pursue education in:
- Dental Hygiene
- Radiologic Science
- Healthcare Management
- Applied Psychology
- Operations Management
They also offer an online Master of Science program in Engineering, as well as the above-mentioned degree in Allied Health.
Notables
Online programs include programs that allow working professionals to earn bachelors degrees in their current field. So those already working in a dentist’s office or as a radiologist can broaden and deepen their educations within their current role, making them more marketable and more valuable on the job.
