Best Online Colleges Announces 2014’s Best Online Social Work Degree Programs
(PRWEB) April 29, 2014 -- BestOnlineColleges.org is a pioneer in online educational resources for students. A remarkable shift has occurred in America’s higher education system over the last few years. While online education was once considered a niche industry, top colleges and universities are now offering online course options as a part of their curricula. This trend has coincided with the evolution of the student profile: tech-savvy, profoundly skilled at multi-tasking, and looking to combine an education with a meaningful life experience. By combining educational data with surveys and academic resources, we evaluate and rank the best places in the U.S. for online degree programs of all subjects.
It is projected that the demand for professionals in the social work field will grow by 22% through 2018. Social work has expanded to many different fields, including but not limited to, medical, public health, substance abuse, mental health, as well as child and family welfare. Given the social issues that affect our society, there will continue to be many opportunities for individuals to engage in studies that will lead to a career where they can make a difference in many lives.
