A Business Degree is the Most Popular Online Degree

Business ProgramsBusiness AdministrationOnlineBachelor's Degree

If online degrees had a popularity contest, there would be one clear winner.

A new survey found that business degrees (primarily business administration degrees or management degrees) are the most popular.

That goes for both undergraduate and graduate level degrees.

The study was conducted by The Learning House, Inc. and Aslanian Market Research* and says that the average online student will study business.

In fact, some 34% of students will study business—that’s twice the number of the next most popular area of study, the health professions.

 

The FAFSA is your gateway to grants, scholarships, or loans that put a degree within reach. Get expert tips to help you navigate the federal financial aid process and maximize your access to funds with this free guide. 

 

Popularity is an interesting indicator, but another, perhaps more important, one might be: “What are the job prospects?”

Pretty good for business or management graduates, if government projections are correct.

The United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that top executive jobs for business administration majors will grow 5% over the next several years. Management analyst positions will fare even better, with a staggering 22% increase during the same time period.

Of course, the best advice is always to study what you love and to choose a career that suits your personality.
