Online graduate degrees can bring position, salary increase
Although higher education can be a hefty financial investment, the payoff of completing an online graduate program such as a master’s degree or graduate certificate can have positive economic and career results.

A national survey through Online College Students 2013: Comprehensive Data on Demands and Preferences* shows that 58 percent of respondents who had completed an online graduate degree received a pay increase. Forty-seven percent of individuals who earned an online graduate degree reported that they received a job promotion.

Out of all respondents of the survey who completed either undergraduate or graduate programs, a total of 44 percent said they improved their employment standing by obtaining a first job, full-time job or new job after completing their online degree.

K-State Global Campus programs include 27 master’s degrees, a doctoral program and 21 graduate certificates online.
