Connecticut colleges are modifying their programs to better serve professional populations as businesses are increasingly viewing online higher education as a highly valuable tool for their employees. "It provides a way for employees to build on existing skills while developing new ones, and gives them a chance to immediately apply what they're learning to solve real business challenges," said Frank Mulgrew, president of Post University's Online Education Institute. "By necessity, we all have to become lifelong learners, and online higher education makes it possible for working professionals to get advanced education without interruption to their careers."
