How Acceptable are life experience degrees?
Employers know that a significant number of people in the workforce cannot practically attend fulltime classes in a university program. Many people use our degrees to solve this problem and help to create new opportunities for their careers. Employers also recognize the benefits that a career-related degree program can bring to their business and their employee’s career mobility.
However, it is important to point out the differences between a traditional academic degree and a vocational degree. Vocational curriculum does not cover academic subjects like geography, psychology, literature, history, and focuses just on career skills. Therefore, it is easier, faster, and less expensive to earn a vocational degree – and it is usually not transferable to most academic universities, the military, and some high-tech employers. Even so, the rapid growth of distance learning education programs, and virtual online classes and seminars, add to the overall appeal of College Degrees earned online.
