Why a Business Degree? |
|
 Welcome back from what we hope was a nice, long, and restful Thanksgiving weekend!
Business is by far the most popular
degree year after year, but maybe you're not sure a business degree is right for you. We asked some online business students why they chose to study business administration, particularly, and this is what they said:
- Many of the highest starting salaries are in business (e.g. accounting, finance, and economics).
- Business degrees are very versatile and can apply to multiple industries and
fields
- There's a strong desire to rise to management level at the student's
current workplace
Why do you want a degree? Look over these online business degrees to see if any
are a good fit for your likes and goals.

Meet Roz |
|
B.S. Psychology, Liberty University
Roz wants you to know she's a "Mom first," but a successful e-learner second!
When Roz is at home, she's a wife and mother of five. But, shhhh... when there's a lull at work, Roz is earning her bachelor's degree in psychology on the sly from Liberty University.
Roz says she doesn't dwell on how busy she is (She doesn't have time to!) but knows this will all pay off when she gets that degree and is qualified for her dream job as a school psychologist.
