Articles About Education

There are many factors to consider when choosing which educational path is for you, including time commitment and cost. Two of the most popular types of credentials are degrees and certificates, and each can be significant in helping you achieve your goals.  

The number of credits needed to graduate from college depends on what degree you want to earn. It typically takes 60 credits to earn an associate degree, 120 to earn a bachelor's and 30-60 to earn a master's. You may be able to transfer previously earned credits to speed up your time to graduation.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have thrust online education and distance learning into the spotlight, but it's not new. Earning a Master of Education (MEd) in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on online teaching can equip you with the skills you need to teach classes online and in person.

Earning your degree online can offer the flexibility to fit your studies around personal and professional commitments. Whether juggling a job, family obligations or other responsibilities, enrolling in an online degree program can empower you to advance your education at a pace that works for you.
