Online Degree Programs
Online Learning Built for Your Busy Life
Why Athens State Online Programs Are Different
Too often, traditional universities fail to account for the needs of nontraditional students. After all, it takes
courage, and then some, to balance the pursuit of a degree with work and family life. But it takes more than that;
it
takes a university that gets it. One built for the current world — that empathizes with who you are, appreciates the
obstacles you face, and provides the flexibility and affordability essential for success.
At Athens State University, we understand that students exist beyond the classroom and can face immense hardships.
That’s why we’re dedicated to truly supporting you in and out of the classroom. And we’re focused on helping you
build
the confidence and skills you need to create meaningful change in your life through a promising career.
Our affordable tuition, online modalities, and varied program lengths provide a truly accessible education. This
accessibility extends to our faculty members, who pride themselves on their unparalleled availability and support.
Whether through extended office hours or one-on-one tutoring, they put in extra time to ensure you’re primed for
academic and career success.
And believe us — you’ll find success. A recent report from EMSI Burning Glass found that professionals with
undergraduate and graduate degrees from Athens State can experience midcareer salary increases of $16,000 and
$11,700,
respectfully. Regardless of the degree you earn, you’ll graduate with the skills, confidence, and support to give
your
career a major boost.
