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.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://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/saint-leo-university-top-100-degrees-for-minorities http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/saint-leo-university-top-100-degrees-for-minorities#comments Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:35:50 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/?p=534 With so many colleges suffering from an imbalance in cultural diversity, lists like the Top 100 Degrees for Minorities is quintessential to finding the most diverse and rich colleges in the nation. These colleges respect the individual achievements of every student and promote an educated "Melting Pot" world, where all cultures can come together with fresh new insights and knowledge. Diverse Issues in Higher Education released the list of the Top 100 Degree Producers in 2007 for both African-Americans and Minorities, listing colleges from all over the United States that excel in minority and African-American education. One of the colleges that showed up consistently in both lists is Saint Leo University, which happens to not only be friendly to minorities, but is also a military-friendly school.]]> http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/saint-leo-university-top-100-degrees-for-minorities/feed 0 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/gi-jobs-recognizes-saint-leo-university-as-a-military-friendly-school http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/gi-jobs-recognizes-saint-leo-university-as-a-military-friendly-school#comments Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:58:56 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/?p=513 GI Jobs named Saint Leo University as a Military-Friendly School for 2010. This award marks Saint Leo University as one of the ideal school choices for active duty, reserve, and veterans seeking a quality educational program from a military-friendly school. Saint Leo University will be featured in the September release of GI Jobs Guide to Military Friendly Schools. Founded in 2001, GI Jobs has dedicated itself for nearly a decade to military members that are transitioning from the military to the work force. Every year, GI Jobs publishes information for prospective military students on military-friendly schools. The magazine's reputability has been established through its research and advice into the military aspects of higher education.]]> http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/gi-jobs-recognizes-saint-leo-university-as-a-military-friendly-school/feed 1 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/student-happiness-at-saint-leo-university http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/student-happiness-at-saint-leo-university#comments Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:35:11 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/?p=505 Happiness is just as much of a necessity in school as study time and learning materials. A happy student is typically a busy student, or a student that has found their niche and now thrives with so many learning opportunities and activities that they do not have time for stress, depression, boredom, or homesickness. Princeton Review's 2009 College Ranking Research took a look at the "best" colleges from several different angles, including colleges considered top-rated because of student happiness. "Paradise" colleges with happy students included subcategories like "Happiest Students," "Best Campus Food," "Dorms Like Palaces," "Most Beautiful Campus," "Easiest Campus to Get Around," and "Best Quality of Life." On the other side of the fence, "Purgatory" colleges were downrated because of "Least Happiest Students," "Is it Food?" "Dorms Like Dungeons," and "Least Beautiful Campus."]]> http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/student-happiness-at-saint-leo-university/feed 0 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/military-friendly-education/saint-leo-university-supports-yellow-ribbon-program http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/military-friendly-education/saint-leo-university-supports-yellow-ribbon-program#comments Fri, 15 May 2009 18:38:37 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/?p=388 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/military-friendly-education/saint-leo-university-supports-yellow-ribbon-program/feed 0 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/online-degrees-programs/criminal-justice/top-five-programs-for-an-online-criminal-justice-degree http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/online-degrees-programs/criminal-justice/top-five-programs-for-an-online-criminal-justice-degree#comments Fri, 08 May 2009 21:25:12 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/?p=379 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/online-degrees-programs/criminal-justice/top-five-programs-for-an-online-criminal-justice-degree/feed 0 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/college-stress-relief http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/college-stress-relief#comments Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:46:44 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/?p=311 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/college-stress-relief/feed 0 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/online-commercials-youtube http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/online-commercials-youtube#comments Thu, 26 Mar 2009 18:32:03 +0000 serra http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/?p=205 http://www.onlineeducationblog.org/colleges-universities/online-commercials-youtube/feed 0
