Students Advance Careers via Online Learning
What do these four people have in common?
1. An IT specialist who wants to move into management
2. A legal assistant who dreams of promotion to paralegal
3. A marketer who needs to learn the theory behind her longtime practice
4. A criminal investigator who seeks to brush up on interrogation techniques
Answer: two things. Their goal is to enhance their skills—or earn a new degree—to move their careers forward. Many time, the way to meet that goal is to complete or enhance their education. Indeed, many professionals can only advance with a specific degree. That's where online education can help.
But how can they pursue their education and continue to work at the same time?
Through online learning. Online learning gives students the ability to more easily fit their courses around their work schedules - online courses usually do not require a student to “be in class” at all times - though some online classes to have an on-campus component.. The ability to do work for an online class when a student has the availabile time offers the student a more flexible schedule. With course materials online, students can complete their studies in a way that allows them to continue to work and still grow their careers.
What students really like about online learning, however, is the level of interactivity.
Depending on the professor and the curriculum requirements, a course might include anything from study groups to online simulations. Students might find themselves discussing course materials with a diverse group of classmates, delving into the latest research on their laptops, or working on a group project. The online format also draws participation from those who might be uncomfortable speaking up in a traditional classroom setting.
Every year, the SUNY Learning Network (SLN) helps thousands advance their careers.
With Online Classes through SLN and SUNY Campuses, working professionals can pursue more than 100 degree and certificate programs online. This helps the nurse manager who needs a master’s to qualify for health services administration, or a teacher who wants to prepare for vocational teaching with a bachelor’s in the field.
Other students may simply need a course or two to refresh their skills and stay abreast of trends in their profession. SLN places a vast array of online courses at their disposal.
Of course, not all online curricula are created equal.
When exploring online options, then, students should always seek substantive content from a reputable, accredited university. Not all online courses are created equal. Hence the “SUNY” in “SUNY Learning Network”: The faculty who teach SLN Courses are the same world-class facultythat teach on campus - with the strength of SLN's robust course development training and support -, delivering the finest scholarship of the SUNY system - online.
To date, tens of thousands of students have enrolled in SLN Classes from right here in New York, and around the world, demonstrating the appeal of “anytime, anywhere” learning.
