There are a variety of online business degree programs available to prospective students across the nation, though some of them might be harder to find than others. The following are the five secret online business degrees every aspiring student should consider, available from prestigious, accredited distance learning universities.]]> http://blog.degreego.com/2010/02/19/five-secret-online-business-degrees-you-should-know/feed/ 0 http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/18/new-years-resolution-to-go-back-to-school/ http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/18/new-years-resolution-to-go-back-to-school/#comments Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:44:06 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreego.com/?p=479 2010 is a big year for adults that plan on going back to school; in fact, the government reports "get a better education" as the second highest 2010 New Years resolution under "drinking less alcohol." Going back to school is a complicated process that requires research and decision-making though, and adult learners and recent graduates alike are encouraged to take the process step-by-step to avoid getting overwhelmed with the New Years resolution they've made; kind of like how losing weight is done in small stages in a log!]]> http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/18/new-years-resolution-to-go-back-to-school/feed/ 0 http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/16/the-benefits-of-online-school-directories/ http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/16/the-benefits-of-online-school-directories/#comments Sat, 16 Jan 2010 17:46:05 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreego.com/?p=457 Sites like DegreeGo allow the prospective college student to find the ideal school for them within a set of given parameters; for instance, a student looking for an online school that offers a degree in marketing may use the search tool on DegreeGo to look up the schools within those prerequisites and do further research to find which college works the best. That's only the beginning of the benefit of online school directories, though. These online directories also provide a wealth of knowledge for the prospective college student; students that are at a directory are typically making school choices and thus need to educate themselves on things like accreditation, the differences between distance and traditional education, and the different types of degree levels available. Rather than read about these things over several Google searches and article searching, online school directories provide the answers right at the student's fingertips in a convenient, one-stop source.]]> http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/16/the-benefits-of-online-school-directories/feed/ 0 http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/15/education-in-the-1800s/ http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/15/education-in-the-1800s/#comments Fri, 15 Jan 2010 15:13:53 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreego.com/?p=476 What was education like in the 1800s?

New Years resolutions should not instigate these prospective students to sign up faster, though; rather than diving blindly into college education, DegreeGo encourages students to research potential schools and find the best match for them.

Online education's still frowned upon by the employers of the new decade thanks to "colleges" and "universities" offering printable diplomas for a single exam and/or a fee. These fraudulent schools stick out for their easy or nonexistent education programs, for the ability to "upgrade" to a master's degree for $100, and for lacking the accreditation applied to campus and online schools alike. One of the ways that professionals are unveiling the diploma mills sprinkled across the Internet is by enrolling their cats. That's right; Fluffy with an M.B.A.! The stories of cats with fraudulent diplomas reveals the dangers of diploma mills to Wikipedia readers and raises the question on the integrity of online education. It makes two strong points to the learning public...]]> http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/11/unearthing-diploma-mills-cats-with-fraudulent-diplomas/feed/ 0 http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/10/get-the-most-out-of-your-college-education/ http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/10/get-the-most-out-of-your-college-education/#comments Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:54:08 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreego.com/?p=435 Your college degree is only one facet to the entirety of your education. College students, whether they pursue a traditional degree program or an online degree program, need to have other activities and accomplishments to accentuate their academic achievements and distinguish them from their competition for employment. There are several activities you may pursue that will flavor the college experience and give you another positive point on your resume, depending on the time, money, and commitment you're capable of putting into it. With all these options to choose from, every college student should be able to accomplish something besides their classes for the week.]]> http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/10/get-the-most-out-of-your-college-education/feed/ 0 http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/09/the-best-gizmos-and-gadgets-for-college/ http://blog.degreego.com/2010/01/09/the-best-gizmos-and-gadgets-for-college/#comments Sat, 09 Jan 2010 15:33:57 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreego.com/?p=441 e-books with ease, learn through games, and improve their overall educational experience.
