More than 100 degree programs at the University of Nebraska can be completed entirely on the web, making higher education more accessible to adults leading busy lives. The online courses prepare students for their career path and give them freedom to learn without being bound by time and place. At UNO, the Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) degree has over 40 areas of concentration, including women’s and gender studies, art, and physics. Offered by the UNO Division of Continuing Studies, the program is designed to fit within the busy schedules of working adults. “I didn’t want to sacrifice my family life, which is the top reason I chose Continuing Studies,” UNO alumna Patricia Thraen said. “I work full-time and have three kids, so being able to log in anytime to do my classwork and not have a fixed schedule allowed me the flexibility I needed.”
