Finish Graduate School Requirements Online After College - Jordan Friedman, US News

For students who need to finish graduate school requirements after college, online education might be the way to go. That learning format, experts say, provides flexibility for the recent college graduate or career-changer who's also working. "Students can take classes at their own pace; they can remain in their work environment and essentially meet those prerequisites quicker and ultimately more affordably," given that they don't need to move near campus, says Mac Powell, president of Bastyr University, which focuses on health sciences and has online courses. Universities might offer online postbac options across disciplines – from accounting to teaching certification programs – though premedical and pre-health courses are particularly common, experts say. Colorado State University Online offers several online postbac health courses in fields ranging from gerontology to physical therapy. The University of Georgia has an online postbac program in classical languages. http://www.usnews.com/education/online-education/articles/2016-12-01/finish-graduate-school-requirements-online-after-college
