Online Master's Degree Portal, Universities.com, Discusses Online Degree Myths

Universities.com refutes some of the myths associated with online degrees and virtual educations.

2012-09-14

NORCROSS, GA, September 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) Universities.com understands that everyone has heard myths about online universities. Some people claim that the education isn't as good if it didn't involve sitting in a classroom, that employers won't accept online degrees when hiring, and that online classes are easier than those at traditional universities.

Anyone who has successfully completed an online master's degree in marketing or an online doctorate in education can quickly refute those falsehoods. The truth of the matter is that accredited online universities offer classes that may be even more challenging than those at traditional universities.

Degrees from fake colleges or diploma mills won't mean anything at a job interview, but a degree from a legitimate, accredited online university can help you secure a job or improve your salary in an existing career.

In fact, many employers find that students who earn their degrees online end up with an even better education because their professors are accessible when the student needs them. With first-hand knowledge of their chosen specialty, professors who teach at online universities are able to offer their students real-world knowledge and an understanding of how to apply that knowledge.

The key to receiving a good education online is finding the right school with the proper accreditation. That's where Universities.com comes in. Its online degree portal can help students investigate their options for an education that meets their life goals.

"Online universities are really just the online version of traditional universities," says Paul Moses, president of Universities.com. "They simply offer students another option. The primary difference is that being a student online requires that the student discipline him or herself and practice good time management skills because most people who study online are juggling academics, a job and family life."
