Online degrees could make education more accessible
Many people are looking to increase their knowledge in a variety of fields in an effort to lead to personal development. As a result, a number of universities have increased their degree program offerings to fit a larger audience.
However, some students are faced with the reality that they cannot attend school full-time, which is why online education is growing in popularity.
Pupils who are attending Springfield College of Human Services will now have the option to take online classes offered through Capella University at a reduced rate, as the two universities announced a partnership.
The deal was created as a way for students and faculty at Springfield College to increase their education through online programs.
"Capella is pleased to form this educational alliance with an institution as well respected as Springfield College School of Human Services," said Deb Bushway, the interim president at Capella. "We are honored to support graduates, faculty and staff of Springfield College School of Human Services as they continue their pursuit of an advanced degree."
