Title: Online Degrees Change Education in The Modern World

It's a true saying: "It's not your father's university any
more!" Things have changed - a lot - in the educational world.
In the past you went from high school to college and then into
your first full-time career position, before starting a family.

All that has changed, of course. Today people may delay their
entry into college for any number of reasons: pursuing military
service, single parenting, perhaps just an unwillingness to
pursue further schooling at that time. Many people just start
their careers (or attempt to start them) by entering the job
market straight out of high school.

Then something happens - the light finally goes on, and they
say, "I need more educational training!" But, at that time of
life, responsibilities and commitments may make it difficult, if
not impossible, to devote 3 to 4 (or more) years to higher
educational pursuits. Did you know that the average age of the
university graduate is steadily climbing? That means that, more
than ever, people are returning to school later in life.

That's where the University of Phoenix comes in. Some years ago,
they realized that traditional educational environments were
changing - and they changed with it. They are known today as
innovators in higher education - they have redesigned the
traditional college curriculum so that people with adult lives
and commitments CAN attend classes - online. The folks at the
University of Phoenix realized that many adults just don't have
the time to go to daily classes, so they have leveraged the
power of the computer to bring those classes to you!

The degree programs and course offerings from the University of
Phoenix are many and varied. You can pursue courses in
Marketing, Management, Criminal Justice, IT, Business, Nursing,
Education, Health Care and others. And they are developing new
programs of study all the time. And rest assured: all of their
instructors hold Masters or Doctorate degrees.

And the payoff? By taking classes through the University of
Phoenix, you can complete most degree programs in 2-3 years!
Imagine - an accredited degree in less time than traditional
schools, even while maintaining full-time jobs and family
responsibilities! Both non-degree, Bachelors and Masters
programs are available. And with your weekday schedule in mind,
they offer classes on nights and weekends, and major assignments
can be completed during the weekends.

One of the very best things about working with the University of
Phoenix is that when you contact them with more information,
they will assign a real, live human being as your contact
resource person. This person will answer any questions that you
might have about the program, will help you to arrange payments
for courses, and work with you to enroll in your first courses.
They serve as a kind of "academic advisor" to help you get your
educational pursuits into high gear.

One thing remains. You have the information - what will you do
about it? Are you just going to 'think about it' - or do it? You
have the interest. Do you have the drive? The thirst to know
more, to succeed, to better yourself? If you do, the University
of Phoenix is ready to help you attain those educational goals!
