Graduate Degrees - More Common in Online Education 2019

The continuing demand for graduate degrees is growing, online schools are more appealing now that ever before to those returning to school. Bert Valencia is the vice president of distance education programs at Thunderbird, the Garvin School of International Management. Valencia said Thunderbirds Global MBA program requires students only spend four weeks in a classroom. Students can be located anywhere, as long as they can communicate they can be a part of the class, he said. Graduate degrees obtained at online universities and colleges have become more attractive because they provide the same level of education that a traditional university would, but from the comfort of your choosing. This has also become attractive to those with full time jobs and parents. To complete an online MBA education however, classes alone are not considered sufficient. Networking is also a big party of the MBA program. .udd16a3cdc936be33b33d733f16f2ee87 { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #34495E!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .udd16a3cdc936be33b33d733f16f2ee87:active, .udd16a3cdc936be33b33d733f16f2ee87:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .udd16a3cdc936be33b33d733f16f2ee87 { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .udd16a3cdc936be33b33d733f16f2ee87 .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:inherit; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .udd16a3cdc936be33b33d733f16f2ee87 .post Title { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .udd16a3cdc936be33b33d733f16f2ee87:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } READ Career in Sociology Potential Occupations for the Professional with a Sociology DegreeNetworking is so critical to success, Thunderbird requires that MBA students spend the first few weeks at the Glendale campus. After eight monghts they will then get to travel to Genva for a week. In addition, they may also spend a week in Beijing and a final week back at Thunderbird. If you have a job that requires travel, it is hard to pursue an MBA that doesnt require you to be at a specific location, Valencia said. These programs improve the quality of the education by getting students enrolled that are established in their field. Officials expect enrollment numbers to double in the next three years.
