Online Education with the University of Phoenix /2008/09/online-education-with-the-university-of-phoenix/ /2008/09/online-education-with-the-university-of-phoenix/#comments Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:48:10 +0000 david /news/?p=109 As international teachers of English we always find ourselves in a rush and on the move, usually teaching and working in different locations, at weekends, likely even doing split shifts. Giving ourselves that little bit of a headstart education-wise, though, is a great way of getting on in our profession and there’s no excuse for not trying to better ourselves. These days, of course, it’s much easier than ever before due to the tremendous range of opportunities open to us for learning online, such as can be found at the University of Phoenix, the leading institution in the world of online academic resources.

As well as its cutting edge online facilities, the University of Phoenix has physical locations throughout the United States, offering practicable opportunities for your continuing studies – whatever your needs may be. The locations of their campuses, as well as online learning, make the University highly accessible and convenient.

The University of Phoenix is an ideal choice if you’re looking to gain further qualifications in the field of language teaching through their Master of Arts in Education/Curriculum and Instruction-English and Language Arts Education, other fields of the educational sciences, or if you want to get into another area of study such as Information technology, or even business. Of course, being able to attend on campus or online largely to a certain extenton the degree program you wish to follow, although some campuses offer the combined campus-based and online learning format.

The online format may prove best if, like me, you’re a hard-working English instructor. You can complete your coursework via electronic forums, also being able to receive your lectures, questions and assignments from your instructor electronically, while studying them at a time convenient to your own timetable. The University of Phoenix has helped thousands of students achieve the higher education they need at associate, bachelor’s, master’s or even doctoral level degrees. If you’re thinking about getting back into education and are looking for a suitable online course, try filling out the online form to get more information delivered to you: the website promises that the form will only take you sixty seconds to complete.
