One of the other perks of studying from an accredited online university is the accessibility of specialized degrees that might otherwise not be available to you from the campuses in your area. Saint Leo University's Master of Social Work is the perfect example for online students in the Virginia, Georgia, and Florida area. With an online graduate degree program in social work, students can get the training they need for a specialized career in social work, including mental health and substance abuse social workers; medical and public health care social workers; social workers in private practice; and other facets of the field.]]> http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/online-degrees-programs/online-master-of-social-work-degree/feed/ 0 http://www.veteransbenefitsgibill.com/2009/11/24/preparing-your-post-911-gi-bill-for-spring-2010/ http://www.veteransbenefitsgibill.com/2009/11/24/preparing-your-post-911-gi-bill-for-spring-2010/#comments Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:12:00 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://www.veteransbenefitsgibill.com/?p=373 Post 9/11 GI Bill? The best first step--and one you're probably following if you're here--is trying to keep up with the latest Post 9/11 GI Bill news from November forward. By staying up-to-date, you're sure to remain informed on how your veterans educational benefits are working for you in Spring 2010. Veterans Benefits GI Bill has followed the VA website changes, emergency funds, and other last-minute fixes to the new GI Bill conundrum for the past several months. Some of the news, unfortunately, has been bad news--like banks turning military members with emergency checks away, or at best, telling them to delay--but then there's also the promise if a better semester coming this Spring thanks to the automated system being built for the VA's website. No more applications-in-the-slush-pile, waiting to be done by hand!]]> http://www.veteransbenefitsgibill.com/2009/11/24/preparing-your-post-911-gi-bill-for-spring-2010/feed/ 0 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/online-degrees-programs/quick-online-education-guide http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/online-degrees-programs/quick-online-education-guide#comments Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:11:00 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/?p=577 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/online-degrees-programs/quick-online-education-guide/feed/ 0 http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/11/03/online-psychology-degree/ http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/11/03/online-psychology-degree/#comments Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:10:09 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/?p=222 Bachelor of Psychology and move on to a Master's degree that defines their area of study: Marriage/Family Therapist, Clinical Social Work, and so on.
