university degrees online

You've probably seen this tagline before in your email box - guaranteeing you a prosperous new life with an expensive piece of paper. However, what they usually fail to mention (or set in *really* tiny type) is that these fly-by-night degree websites offer non-accredited degrees. In other words, they are about as good as if you printed up your own on a piece of paper. As a result, I think that a lot of adults dismiss the opportunity to earn a real degree online because they think it is some sort of scam.

It's a shame, because there are real programs out there that offer individuals a chance to get their higher education needs online, such as those at Capella. Offering bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and doctoral degree programs online, schools like Capella are paving the way for working professionals to advance their education on their own terms (and their own time) with little to no physical travel and class attendance involved.

Another nice feature is that you don't have to wait for traditional class schedules to enroll and start your classes. Instead of having only two traditional windows of opportunity for enrollment (spring and fall, sometimes with a limited summer schedule), they offer new classes each month.

Capella recently made headlines when one of their faculty, Sara Orem, co-authored a book on appreciative coaching, which "uses positive questions, mindfulness, and other tools to acknowledge the strengths of individuals and effect change." Shattering the old saying that "those who can't perform, teach", Orem also runs her own professional coaching firm.
