Before enrolling in an online graduate program, ask yourself two
questions: “Why do I want to earn this degree?” and “Will earning the
degree actually help be achieve that goal?” Do you want to earn the
degree to make more money, qualify for a new job, or simply have the
opportunity to learn? While undergraduate degrees are helpful in a
majority of workplaces, not everyone’s career can benefit from a
graduate degree. Some positions require a specific master’s degree or
offer substantial monetary incentives for graduate degrees. Other
positions do not consider graduate work a factor for granting promotions
or increasing salaries. Earning an online master’s degree requires a
considerable investment of time and money – make sure that the payoff is
worth it.
Online studies are best suited for students with organized and dedicated personalities. Mid-career professionals are often successful in online master’s programs. Potential students should be able to read and understand advanced texts and be able to write at a college-level. Students should be aware that most online graduate programs award grades based on writing assignments, online reading discussions, and written exams.
Online Master’s Degree Program Accreditation
Don’t be tricked by a “diploma mill” school. Degrees from unaccredited, low-quality programs are almost always rejected by employers. Instead, find a school that is regionally accredited from one of the six regional organizations. This will help ensure that your degree is accepted by employers and that your transcripts are accepted by other schools should you choose to transfer or pursue additional studies. See also: Check Any School’s Accreditation Status.
Alternatively, you may choose to enroll in an online master’s degree program accredited by the Distance Education Training Council (DETC). Although many employers accept degrees with DETC accreditation, be aware that DETC accreditation is not as universally accepted nor as highly regarded as regional accreditation.
