What Are Online Masters Degrees?

Online masters degrees are higher education college degrees that are earned over the Internet. In order to apply, individuals must first have a bachelor's degree in the same field of study as the masters degree they wish to obtain. Masters degrees are offered in many different fields of education. Individuals can receive a degree in accounting, business, management, education and even healthcare.

In recent years the reputation of online masters degrees has grown, making them more attractive and affordable than ever before.

The biggest benefit is the convenience. Individuals that hold a full time job can still complete their degree in record time because the classes and studies are all offered online on a schedule that can be laid out to fit your individual needs.

Another benefit to earning online masters degrees is the increase in income afforded by the degree. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, individuals with a masters degree earn over 170 percent more than their co-workers who only possess a bachelor's degree or associates degree.

The main drawback to online masters degrees programs is that they are done entirely online. This can be a problem if a student needs extra help with a particular lesson. It can also be hard for a student to get the appropriate personal attention they sometimes need.

To address this problem many online masters degrees programs now offer student tutors or mentor that are available through email to address a student's personal needs.

For individuals interested in furthering an already established career, an online masters degree offer the best education at the best price and level of convenience.
