If you want to make business decisions someday, you’ll need to know how businesses work. That goes for aspiring entrepreneurs and future Fortune 500 executives alike. A BBA teaches you how the fields of accounting, management, human resources, economics, marketing, and operations overlap in business.
Whether you want to be a generalist or a specialist, a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science in business administration can make you a valuable asset to any organization.
What if you could complete a Master of Theological Studies degree anywhere, without moving across the country, leaving your job or ministry, or upending your family’s lives?
There’s an increasing number of MTS degrees being offered in a part-time, distance-learning format that allows you to do just that.
Your theological education doesn’t have to end with your Master of Divinity. If you’ve completed your MDiv or an equivalent degree program, you can continue equipping yourself for ministry (or theological education) with a Master of Theology degree.
A Master of Theology (ThM) is a post graduate degree for those wishing to do advanced theological research. It generally takes one to two years to complete, and it’s the minimum credential required for teaching in many accredited seminaries and Bible colleges.
Whether you’re a pastor looking to sharpen your understanding of a particular theological area or you’re still exploring your options in ministry, a ThM degree could be the next step for you. Many ThM programs lead into specializations or emphases, allowing you to customize your education based on your gifts and calling.
It’s not easy to find the top-notch online master of education programs. We know, because we looked, too. A lot of lists you find online seem to assume that a MEd. is basically the same thing as a master of arts in teaching—this isn’t one of those lists.
Human resources professionals are responsible for managing a company’s most important assets: its people. HR managers are deeply involved in the process of hiring great talent, firing the duds, and making sure the stars keep moving up.
But that’s not all an HR leader does. They’re often the people that companies trust to make sure their people are treated fairly, in accordance with all the laws surrounding employment. In fact, HR leaders are often responsible for making sure companies “cover their butts” so-to-speak from a legal, ethical, and business perspective.
In the 90s, you could land a high-paying job in the field of information technology with just a high school diploma. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always cut it anymore. While some older professionals have been “grandfathered” into the field, many employers expect new IT leaders to have a degree.
Accounting is often referred to as “the language of business.” Skilled accountants use standardized methods to translate financial data into information that business leaders, investors, employees, government officials, and individuals can use to communicate with their teams and make important decisions. Far from paper-pushers, accountants play integral roles in:
Take a look at some of the most successful tech companies of our time and you’ll notice they all have something obvious in common: stellar design. Companies like Microsoft, IBM, Disney, and Google need elegant websites, apps, and media—and to get these, they need talented designers. A degree in graphic design helps you tap into the software, tools, and concepts design professionals use lto:
We all have at least one golden search term or keyword we’d love to rank for—and we’ve all heard plenty of different people telling us their secret front-page-of-Google formulas. It gets a little dizzying keeping all the approaches straight.
So, I made in infographic mapping out not one, but six strategies that real-life people (including me!) have used to rank for specific keywords. This draws on advice and examples from Neil Patel, Brian Dean, Buffer, Noah Kagan, and a few others, plus a little flow-chart magic from Laura Kranz (my wife and partner at GradLime).Continue reading →
One of the worst feelings in the world of inbound marketing and enrollment is to write an incredible blog post, publish it, share it, and then … crickets.
I actually just shuddered a little bit thinking about it. (Because I have been there way, way too many times!)
