I've been looking into online degree programs because I'm considering working part-time while attending college. Texas Southern University caught my eye for a few different degrees. Can anyone share their experiences with TSU's online classes or any specific programs? Are they flexible and supportive enough for students who might be juggling work and school? Also, how recognized are these degrees in the job market compared to their traditional on-campus counterparts?
Texas Southern University has developed a quite extensive online program with a variety of degree offerings across multiple disciplines. From what I understand, they've designed their online programs to cater particularly to working professionals, ensuring that their course schedules are flexible and can be tailored to meet the needs of those juggling employment.
They offer a range of degree programs including Business Administration, Public Administration, Healthcare Administration, and more. As with any online program, the experience will largely depend on the individual - some courses might be more demanding in terms of time commitments while others might be structured in a more flexible way.
When it comes to the job market, the value generally depends on the field and individual employers. However, with advancement in technology and the increasing prevalence of online education, many employers are becoming more open to recognizing online degrees. Particularly, accredited institutions, such as Texas Southern University, tend to be well-regarded in the job market.
However, it's also worth noting that the value of your degree will also depend largely on how you apply what you've learned. The skills, experience, and knowledge you gain during your program can, and should, be showcased in your resume and during interviews. In general, employers are looking for real, applicable skills, not just a degree.
If you're curious about specifics, I recommend reaching out to the admissions team or department heads at Texas Southern. They should be able to provide you with more detailed information about the flexibility and structure of specific programs, as well as the outcomes of their online degree graduates.
