Why get an online accounting BS degree?
You probably already know some of the advantages of earning a college degree online. You know that online study means that you don’t have to fight for a parking space, commute long distances or pay for child care just so you can go to school. But there are other reasons that students choose the online option for completing a bachelor’s degree in accounting. Our online accounting students include the following:
- People on active military duty
- People who already have an associate degree or a diploma and are working in the field
- People with significant travel responsibilities at work
- People caring for family members at home
- Recent high school graduates who need to work to pay for college
- People who live a great distance from a college campus
An online accounting degree program addresses the needs of people such as these and many others. A student can complete the bachelor’s degree on a schedule that adapts to his or her specific needs. And we offer even more flexibility with our hybrid courses that combine online and on-campus coursework in the same class. Students can even complete an accounting degree using some online classes and some residential classes. We provide the options that people need to earn their degrees. Students are prepared for certification exams such as the Minnesota CPA and the Accreditation in Accountancy (ACAT) exams. We enourage students to apply for our Professional Certification Scholarship to defray the costs of these exams.
Continuing a tradition of distance learning
Learning from a distance rather than sitting in class has become more common. However, even 100 years ago, people took correspondence classes in accounting, sending their coursework to instructors by mail. Today, accounting college programs online are greatly improved. Students are able to connect with instructors by e-mail, through Blackboard™ and online discussion sessions. They receive the same feedback and personal attention that characterize all our degree and diploma programs.
