Online business degrees and other Internet degree programs in a variety of fields are on the rise.
Increasing popularity of Internet learning is probably tied to the flexability the courses provide, especially when balancing full-time work with going back to school.
A story earlier this year at Boston.com, online home of The Boston Globe, reports that "getting an advanced degree with classes over the Internet can help some balance work, school, and family."
The story reports data collected by the National Center for Education Statistics showing two-thirds of post-secondary schools are now offering classes online with many undergraduate and graduate degrees also available.
The center predicts that online enrollment among students will increase to 18.2 million by 2013 up from just 3.1 million beginning in 2000.
This trend includes schools like Northeastern University and Sawyer Business School at Suffolk University both offering online business degrees. In fact, Northeastern currently boasts 900 students enrolled in online masters' programs including a Masters of Business Administration.
