Don’t spend the limited time you have sitting in a classroom, come home to online classes at Grantham University. Choose the education that fits your life – choose Grantham.

Reasons to Continue Your Education

• Degree holders earn more. Statistics show that degree holders make more money than those with a high school diploma. On average, a bachelor’s degree recipient makes over $20,000 more annually than someone with just a high school diploma and those with a master’s degree make $12,000 more per year than bachelor’s degree holders (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics).
• Advance your career. Earning a degree can help you move up in your civilian career, earn promotion points or qualify you for Officer Candidate School in the military. It will also open the door to more opportunities for those who plan to transition from a military to a civilian career.
• You may be closer than you think. At Grantham University, prior college coursework, military experience, employer training courses, and equivalency exams such as CLEP may be evaluated for transfer credit. Those transfer credits may reduce the number of courses you’ll have to complete to earn your degree.
• Online classes are convenient. 100% online degrees, like Grantham’s, offer you the ability to earn your associate, bachelor’s or master’s with no classroom attendance required. You don’t have to worry about your work schedule or deployment disrupting your classes because there are no required log-in times, just complete your assignments by their weekly due date.

Even with all of the research touting the benefits of continuing education, you can’t put a price tag on the feeling of pride you have when you complete your degree, get that promotion, or inspire your family.
