If you are a busy professional, with work, family, and a host of other commitments, online study offers you an opportunity for educational advancement on your own schedule and at your own pace. You can study, participate in class discussions, and submit assignments day or night, weekday or weekend, at your convenience. In addition, you will benefit from learning through the same current technologies that you encounter in the workplace. Paradoxically, as an online student you will get to know your instructors and other students better than the typical student who battles traffic and parking to get to class on time and hurries home afterwards to meet his or her other obligations. A growing body of evidence points to the conclusion that you are likely to learn more in the active learning environment of online classes than in the frequently passive environment of a lecture hall or classroom.
Online education is cost effective.
Though tuition may be marginally higher than campus tuition, the gains in personal and work time more than offset this difference. UB O nline programs combine all these advantages with fully accredited programs that employers recognize and respect.
