Valdosta State University Offers First Online University Degree
It is now estimated that nearly 30% of all college students take at least one online course, and this may be due in part to the increasing number of online university degree programs that are being launched. For example, Valdosta State University in Georgia has recently announced that it will offer online degree programs for the first time, with two new bachelor's degree programs in office administration and technology as well as criminal justice.
The tracks have been approved by the University System of Georgia Board of Regents. The school provost said that they wanted to provide a greater opportunity for people who are working full time to also earn a bachelor's degree within two very diverse career fields. He said that the programs have been created to offer flexibility and accessibility, and that both programs allow students to remain employed throughout the program.
