Those of you who have known me any amount of time know how much I love to learn, and one of my absolute favorite things about todays technology is that attending university has broadened the horizons of what attending school really is. Rather than sitting in a actual classroom at specific times, online universties are allowing students to complete their degrees in virtual classrooms, from the comfort of their own homes.
My friend Michelle and I were recently having a conversation about education. She had been considering her Masters at an organizational development university which offers her the benefits of fitting classes into her already busy schedule, allowing her to complete her Masters degree much faster than she would if attending a traditional university.
She’d been considering her Masters in Organizational development at Gonzaga University, and the site has proven invaluable with information regarding her chosen path, and feel that she would have more long term career options if she’d instead persue her Masters in Organizational Leadership. She appreciates the challenge that this online university brings, plus the diverseness of the students in the virtual classrooms which offer many different perspectives to the mix, and thinks it would be the best option for her educational persuits. After looking at the site myself, I can see she’s right, and finds me with the desire to once again go back to university and learn.
