If you’re looking to advance your career and need a flexible learning option, online learning may be the way to go.
Amidst a global health pandemic, the opportunity and need for online learning and remote working has reached its peak.
There are some jobs you’d expect to think of when it comes to working remotely: tech, sales, and certain instructional roles. There are others that aren’t at the top of your mind: teaching, physical therapy, and fitness.
Yes - if you haven’t already seen them, there are multitudes of online schools, physical therapists, and fitness instructors. Those already online haven’t batted an eye during COVID-19, while physical businesses have had to scramble and move what content they can online. So if we can work online, how about learning online? If we’re expected to be remote workers, why not be remote learners?
You can find almost anything on the internet, including your education. With a rise in online education platforms, undergraduate and graduate degrees are being offered online. This allows you not only to attend a university outside your local area, but also (in some cases) to complete a degree at your own pace.
Here are 3 Doctoral degrees that you can earn online:
Doctor of Physical Therapy
That’s right, you can get an online physical therapy degree. Most online programs offer a combination of distance learning and on-campus classes for laboratory requirements.
Online courses provide students with the ability to interact collaboratively with faculty and other students synchronously and asynchronously.
Average salary: $60K - $91K
Doctor of Education
If you’re an educator, practitioner, or administrator looking to advance your career, a Doctor of Education program will offer you valuable opportunities. Some educational programs combine summer or weekend intensives with regular online learning curricula. A Doctor of Education degree will prepare you to work in healthcare education, education, or professional development and continuing education.
Average salary: $78K - $151K
Doctor of Nursing Practice
A doctoral degree in nursing practice will prepare nurses to advocate for better healthcare policies, care for patients to a higher degree, and lead healthcare organizations. As with the other online degrees, there is a combination of online learning and in-person intensive sessions.
Average salary: $135,830
Once you’ve earned these degrees, you’ll be prepared to not only earn more, but also to know more and therefore be a better professional. These jobs are also careers that can be done online.
Remote work and learning gives you the flexibility to work and learn where and when you want. You can serve more people by offering virtual content or being able to travel to them.
If you’re ready to advance your career, an online degree program may offer you exactly what you’re looking for with the flexible schedule you desire.
