The Role Online Degrees Play In Making Leadership Positions More Accessible
"Since 2020, online degrees have rocketed into the public lexicon. Far from being a flash-in-the-pan moment born out of pandemic-induced necessity, remote learning is now a viable and often preferred alternative to brick-and-mortar learning. When it comes to leadership credentialing in particular, it is a helpful way for established professionals to learn new skills and develop their resume while holding down other responsibilities."
"While online degrees can be a viable option regardless of what stage you're at in your education, the context of finding leadership work is a little more specific. Most leadership roles can be attained only on the other side of, if not a graduate degree, then at least a leadership management-specific certification. For that reason, the person most likely to take advantage of these programs probably already has an undergraduate degree."
Since 2020 online degrees have become a viable and often preferred alternative to brick-and-mortar learning. Remote learning supports leadership credentialing by allowing established professionals to learn new skills and develop their resumes while maintaining other responsibilities. The ideal audience for these programs often already holds an undergraduate degree and is employed in their chosen profession. Many mid-career professionals seek advanced credentials after hitting career ceilings that prevent further advancement without additional qualifications. Family and partnership responsibilities frequently complicate return-to-school plans. Online formats reduce time and logistical barriers that traditionally hinder working professionals from pursuing further education.
