Online degrees are no longer causing red flags on resumes for employers. In fact, many attributes of the online learner are what employers seek. They want lifelong learners, self-motivated workers, and critical thinkers—all of which apply to online learners.

In a new, free white paper titled “Online Degrees Make the Grade: Employer Acceptance Now Common“, researcher George Lorenzo, publisher of Educational Pathways, reveals that online education now receives wide support among businesses. “As corporations continue to see an increase in job candidates who have earned their degrees online,” writes Lorenzo, “the word has spread among executives, human resource professionals and hiring managers that online higher education graduates are focused employees with strong work ethics.”
