Discrimination against Online Education Degrees




Education is a process that faces constant evolution. For people who seek quality education, distance is not an issue. The scope of education is boundless and anybody with an iron-will can pursue it, no matter what. The best part about today’s world is the advent of technology. Universities of eminent names and prestige are offering master’s degree, bachelor’s degrees and even PhD degrees online. These online education degree programs allow people to further their education at the click of their mouse. This also allows them to increase their earning potential even before they have completed their schooling.

While online education may be the Utopian answer, but there are still some major apprehensions or pitfalls that students and their parents face. For instance, they face the constant discrimination of being told, their degrees do not have the same value as a degree from a brick and mortar institution. Also in this case, students are partly to blame. There are numerous students who do take their online degrees seriously, but there are thousand more students, who resort to easy cheating to score more marks. This is one of the main reasons, why institutions do not trust students with online degrees. There are a number of softwares such as TurnItIn but the security measures to control plagiarism are of no match to the number of copy paste cases.

This is unfortunately a vicious cycle. The idea of online education degree has been set in motion but it will be a few years before people in authority can come to terms with it.

Online MBA programs – What to Consider?




The concept of online MBA programs have been around for a long time but there are some reservations on the part of certain major publications which are instrumental in awarding ranks to schools. For instance publications like World Report, Business Week and US News are not fully convinced of the worth of these online degrees. This is because the criteria used to rank the brick-and-mortar MBA teaching institutions cannot be used to rank online “institutions”.

In spite of all these “reservations”, most students prefer online MBA programs compared to the regular institutes. To these students, the reputation doesn’t mean much. They are looking for something which is convenient and is more affordable. However, in the search for something cheap and reasonable one must not compromise on the minimum quality that he or she is entitled to expect from the online programs. Here are a few points that he or she must consider:

  • Affiliation of the school- The prospective student must know which agency is affiliated with the MBA program, the student is choosing. For instance, a student should look for the accreditation by AASCB, which is one of the best boards for accreditation. One way of deciding this, is to check if the school requires GMAT.
  • Value- MBA programs are more affordable online. But it is not necessary, that every affordable discount is the proof of a great bargain. The online programs may cost $20,000 whereas the ones accredited by AASCB will be around $32000, since those require additional work for the faculty members.
  • Recruiter’s View- Honestly, most hiring managers aren’t that crazy about people who pursue their MBA degrees online. However, times are changing now and people are hiring as long as the candidate has an MBA degree.

A Guide for Online PhD Programs



Earlier the concept of online PhD programs is a little distant for people who have been brought up the old-school way. There are numerous apprehensions that they have. One of them is how can an online degree program have the environment and ambience of a brick and mortar doctorate program. In time, people have come to realize, it is no longer necessary to do one particular thing at one time. This is the generation of IT and the buzzword is MULTI-TASKING. Though there may be some grain of truth in the apprehensions of the elders, but nothing comes without a solution. For instance, in fields like medicine and chemistry, one cannot pursue a doctorate degree online.

However, barring a few exceptions, there are numerous online PhD programs which can help a student complete their education timely and in an effective manner. People usually believe a PhD equates a Doctorate of Philosophy or a doctorate as the most common degree. There are some additional forms of degrees such as Doctor of Divinity; the students are mostly clergymen or Doctorate of Arts which allows the person to teach certain college subjects. Most degree programs offer the doctorate degree as the most senior program. Usually the most prestigious jobs are marked for only those who are doctorates.

A doctorate program usually takes from 4 years to a decade. However, online programs help the students get the tag of Dr. much sooner. There are numerous advantages of studying this way. Students save more time on commute and this helps to keep their personal lives balanced.
