The opportunity for parents to pursue a degree online can
help to advance careers, increase income, secure your future in your chosen
career and set a positive example for your children. I definitely witnessed
this as I grew up. When I was in grade school, my dad went back to college. He
had a job and a family and choosing to pursue a degree online was a lot of
work. I remember sitting in our living room watching his papers print out and stretch
out across the floor and piling up at the other end of the room (way back then,
our printer printed paper that was connected and you had to tear the perforated
sheets apart!). My dad was only able to get his business degree because of a
long distance program. Growing up, I saw how much that degree helped my dad. He
was able to really advance in his career and the financial benefits were such a
blessing to our family. Even though I was little, I really got a sense for how
important furthering your education is. A college degree can open so many doors
for your career.
I feel extremely blessed to be able to stay home with my
two little boys. Since becoming a parent, I have given thought to going back to
school one day. (What would happen if I needed to go back to work? Or, when our
boys are in school, would I go back to work?) Although I do have a college
degree in Advertising, I haven’t worked in so long that if I wanted
to pursue a career, I would need to do something to refresh my education and get back up to speed in the advertising world.
What’s a mom to do? Going to a physical college campus takes time,
effort and a lot of money. Those are things that many moms don’t have any extra
of. Ivy Bridge College (IBC) is committed to Moms - 50% of their students are
moms! They understand that moms need flexibility and convenience when it comes
to their education, while also being able to continue to work or stay
at home to raise their children. “IBC is designed for students to earn their
associate’s degree and then seamlessly transfer to over 150 “name brand”
partner schools…” Pursuing an associates degree online through Ivy Bridge
College is a great option for moms who either want to work on getting a degree
or continuing in their education to advancing their career. One of the
many advantages of IBC is that “An advanced education at Ivy Bridge is
about 1/3 of what it costs to attend other private universities, giving Moms
the ability to graduate from a recognized four-year school while saving money.”
Another huge bonus for moms wanting to
continue their education is that IBC offers “unparalleled services to support
student success, including personalized mentoring through weekly meetings with
Success Coaches, individualized free tutoring, regular academic advising and
career counseling, and exclusively for Moms, a private online community.” At
IBC, students have the ability to earn a college degree in as little as 17
months. For moms, the online program that Ivy Bridge College offers is a
wonderful way to let moms pursue the
education they need to advance their career, all while still having the freedom
to work or take care of your kids! Growing up, I saw firsthand how continuing
your education and getting the college degree that you need can really advance
your career and secure your future and finances. Going to college isn’t always
the easy choice, but it is so worth it and at IBC they do all they can to help
moms succeed.
