As many people believe that brain education is an important factor of everyday life, enrolling in a higher degree program is quickly becoming the norm in society.
However, some people may not have any schools near them, which can frequently cause a problem in one's pursuit of a degree. As a result, Valdosta State University (VSU) recently announced that it will offer online bachelor's degrees in administration and technology as well as criminal justice.
These two programs will be the school's first fully-online undergraduate degrees, although the institution already has some virtual master's and doctorate programs, as well as certification for educators.
School administrators said that this offering will help provide more people with access to higher education, particularly those who already have other commitments such as a career.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for a lot of people who are working full-time to earn a bachelor's degree within two very diverse career fields," said Phil Gunter, provost of the school. "We have created these programs to offer flexibility and accessibility. Both programs allow students to remain employed throughout the program."
