Wednesday, November 04, 2015 | 12:00 AM

Many people are interested in furthering their careers with a Master of Business Administration, but are hesitant because of the time commitment, work and family obligations and commute time. An online MBA offers many benefits to help further careers.

Online MBA programs provide flexibility

An established career does not lend itself to going back to school for a full-time MBA. Online or distance learning MBA programs are ideal for full-time professionals because they can earn a degree without driving to a campus to attend classes. Distance learning programs are specifically designed to meet the scheduling demands of the students.

Working professionals can continue their careers and get their MBA

Distance learning programs are a great option for people who already have careers and are looking to earn an MBA for career growth. Classes and assignments are structured for working professionals and can be completed anywhere with an Internet connection at any time of day. Whether students work best in the early morning before their workdays begin, or late into the evening after family commitments are fulfilled, an online MBA program can be accessed any time, day or night. Unlike campus-based programs, distance learning programs are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Multiple start dates for an online MBA

Many universities offer multiple start dates for online MBA admissions. Some programs have four or more start times for their distance learning programs. Being able to start a program outside of the constraints of a traditional fall and spring schedule is particularly helpful for busy working professionals. A traditional MBA program can be limiting for a busy working professionals. An online MBA provides a flexible, convenient way to further career goals while still meeting family commitments.
