Mothers can appreciate the flexibility of online learning
September 26, 2011
As a mother, you may already consider yourself a multitasker, but if you're juggling a full-time job and trying to be there for your kids, a traditional four-year university may be too much of a burden. The unprecedented growth of online learning has made it possible to work at your own pace and enjoy many benefits that can help you complete your degree sooner.
Online learning is far less expensive than enrolling in a degree program at a university, and with the many options for college scholarships, federal grants and other forms of financial aid, it could be the ideal choice to put you on the fast track to finding a permanent position in the field of your choice.
An online degree program also has the added benefit of collective instruction and one-on-one learning. You can contact your instructor by email or video conference if you have any difficulty, and the extended community of students means that you'll have a good support system and be able to share ideas.
College is more affordable than ever, so if you're thinking of getting back into the classroom, online learning can help you get there without leaving the comfort of your own home.
