Consider Hawaii Pacific University, a university located in a worldly location on the shores of the United States and over a dozen other countries. Hawaii Pacific University's military-friendly business degrees are available online or on campus, so that active duty can attend school while deployed or veterans can attend school in the classroom (or vica versa, if able!); and these programs are quality, accredited education both ways, meaning that students can alternate between an online education, a campus education, or an education at a completely different university if they so choose.]]> http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/12/05/hawaii-pacific-universitys-military-friendly-business-programs/feed/ 3 http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/11/13/two-year-online-business-degree-program/ http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/11/13/two-year-online-business-degree-program/#comments Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:46:24 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/?p=284 2009 USDE study.) They are attractive to military students that are currently on deployment or on-call; and to students that travel frequently. Associate Degree programs, or two-year programs, are attractive for their brevity and focus on one topic. They offer introductory academic certification for a professional setting and may later act as the foundation for a Bachelor Degree. Combine an Associate Degree program with a rewarding, accredited online degree program, and you have the Associate Degree of Business Administration at American Sentinel University.]]> http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/11/13/two-year-online-business-degree-program/feed/ 2 http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/10/14/business-schools-versus-universities/ http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/10/14/business-schools-versus-universities/#comments Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:58:10 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/?p=265 [/caption] What's the difference between business schools and universities?

This list, unfortunately, does not include online schools. While these schools have online class potential, a full-scale online degree program is better obtained through universities that have designed degree programs with the distance learner in mind. One of the most prestigious online schools for business degrees like Business Administration and Criminal Justice is Saint Leo University.While Saint Leo University might not have been featured on the Top 10 Business Schools for Hispanic Students from Hispanic Business, it was featured on the Top 100 Degrees for Minorities at Diverse Issues in Higher Education, and the Top 100 Degrees for African-Americans. Saint Leo University's student body is diverse and spread across both the Center for Online Learning--their distance learning programs--and traditional, campus-based programs that have been succeeding for ages.]]> http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/09/18/hispanic-and-minority-distance-learners-rejoice-for-saint-leo-university/feed/ 2 http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/09/11/business-degrees-at-saint-leo-university-for-minorities/ http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/09/11/business-degrees-at-saint-leo-university-for-minorities/#comments Fri, 11 Sep 2009 18:21:08 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/?p=250 Lists like the Top 100 Degrees for Minorities give prospective college students the ability to find universities that are proud in the cultural diversity they offer to nation's educational community. Business students especially benefit from a "Melting Pot" college, with exposure to all kinds of ethnicities and cultures enhancing their understanding of business relations in a diverse world in the future. Diverse Issues in Higher Education put together a Top 100 Degree Producers in 2007 list for both Minorities and African-Americans. The colleges listed are from all over the United States and all of them excel in minority and African-American enrollment. This diversity does not lean towards on cultural direction, but instead shows diversity for all cultures. One of the colleges that showed up consistently in both lists is Saint Leo University, which happens to not only be friendly to minorities, but is also a military-friendly school.]]> http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/09/11/business-degrees-at-saint-leo-university-for-minorities/feed/ 2 http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/08/17/military-friendly-business-degree-at-saint-leo-university/ http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/2009/08/17/military-friendly-business-degree-at-saint-leo-university/#comments Mon, 17 Aug 2009 22:54:08 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreesinbusiness.org/?p=237 For active duty, reserve, and veterans interested in a business degree, the Degrees in Business Blog has a recommendation for a military-friendly college to meet your needs.
