Online Business Degree: Tantamount to One-on-One Learning, Part I
When we were at the age at which we were considering different colleges and universities to continue our education – or are at the age now where we are considering it for ourselves or our children – we were always taught to consider the student to teacher ratio in our equation. In fact, just the phrase “student to teacher ratio” is such a buzzword in college campus literature that it has become almost synonymous with a quality education.
Truly, however, when it comes down to it, the size of the classroom and the ratio of students to professors and the impact that they can have on the learning of one student really comes down to the personal preferences and learning style of that one student. If you are student that enjoys small class discussions and the ability to access the professor one-on-one, and feel that you learn better in a more intimate environment, then surely you will choose a school that offers smaller class sizes. If, however, you are someone who thrives in a lecture hall and doesn’t necessarily need their professor to know them by name, then a larger school may suit you just fine. It’s all about how you are most comfortable learning.
For those exploring the option of earning a business degree you may be currently having this very discussion with yourself, as you explore the possibilities open to you in terms of an education. And, for those who enjoy the smaller class approach, what you may have discovered is that there is another option in terms of earning a degree and feeling like you are getting the personal attention you need: an online business degree.
An online business degree offers the perfect solution for those students that are juggling a busy schedule and cannot commit to traditional classes, or are far away from the college or university in which they are interested. But what an online business degree also offers is the ability to have an experience similar to one-on-one learning; a definite benefit for those who wanted a smaller class experience.
In the next post, we’ll explore further how an online business degree can benefit those students looking for a more intimate learning experience.

Agreed!
In fact in my online MBA… I was on vacation last week and popped into a hotel (that I wasn’t even staying at) to log into the class!
