Fortunately, online degree programs provide an ideal situation for the working mother without jeopardizing the quality of her education or her current career. An online degree program provides the following perks that make education accessible for even the busiest parents in today’s society:
- Flexible schedule. An online degree program adjusts to the student’s schedule, rather than the student adjusting to a campus school’s rigid curriculum. Have to work in the day and help children with homework in the evening? Attend your online classroom after bedtime.
- Quality learning. Online degree programs were recognized by the USDE as equal, if not superior, methods of learning to campus-based programs. Working mothers can rest assured that an online MBA program will only bolster their career.
- No commuting. There’s enough driving involved in taking care of children and going back-and-forth to work every day. With online colleges and universities, nothing additional is added to the daily driving grind.
There are scholarships available specifically for working mothers, as well as loan and grant options through the FAFSA. Some employers even have financial packages available to workers that show interest in going back to school. With the proven increased financial success of college graduates, the cost of college pays for itself and is only a little bit of research away. Working moms all over the United States have taken the initiative, too. The variability of student age is always widening as more and more adults go back to school and expand the career options available to them—or simply bolster the career they already have! Think work and family prevent parents from going back to school? Think again. Take some time to look into online degree programs and jumpstart your academic future.
