Tempe, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/16/2012 -- Historically, students who wanted to earn a masters degree would apply to a variety of colleges and universities around the country, and after being accepted to at least one of the schools, relocate to where the chosen university is located. This typically involved moving away from family and friends and spending thousands of dollars on moving and housing expenses.

Times have changed, and many prospective masters degree candidates no longer wish to pull up roots and move to a city or state. Most already have jobs and families and need to fit college courses into their schedules. Rather than be limited to local brick and mortar campuses, many who wish to graduate with the advanced degree are now looking into earning a master degree online.

Although internet-based college programs are becoming more popular by the minute, trying to determine which online masters degree program are best can be a time-consuming process. There are a variety of degrees that are available as well as hundreds of schools that offer this type of program. Many prospective students find themselves unsure which master degree online university they should attend.
