网曝门 expands online degree offerings

The University of Louisiana at Monroe continues to expand its online learning initiatives, giving non-traditional students accessibility to a broader range of online college degrees in an accelerated format.

网曝门鈥檚 Gateway to OnLine Degrees program, a clearinghouse for all of 网曝门鈥檚 online degrees, recently added two bachelor鈥檚 degrees to its growing roster of online degree programs: a bachelor of business administration degree in marketing and the bachelor of science degree in dental hygiene.

鈥淢ost people know that if you have a degree, you will increase your earning potential and the likelihood for promotions,鈥� said Robyn Jordan, coordinator of accelerated learning at 网曝门.

鈥淥nline degrees assist responsible adult learners who need the flexibility of earning degrees from the comfort of their own home.鈥�

The marketing degree is for those interested in a career in advertising, brand management, industrial marketing, consumer relations, market research, professional selling, purchasing and retailing. The dental hygiene degree program is geared for those with an associate degree in dental hygiene who have passed the dental hygiene board exam, according to Jordan.
