There is immense personal value in earning a bachelor’s degree. It’s a badge of honor you carry with you for life.
And it’s a game-changer in the job market.
To boost his career, Albert Diaz enrolled online with OSU Ecampus to pursue his postbaccalaureate degree in computer science. His plan paid off.
By earning your bachelor’s degree, you could earn as much as $1 million more than someone with a high school diploma over the course of a career, according to recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
BLS findings also show that graduating with a four-year degree increases your chances of finding employment. On the other hand, those with some college experience but no degree have an unemployment rate higher than the national average.
Many students who have earned their degrees online with Oregon State University Ecampus can attest to the direct impact their academic success had on their careers. Among them is Maria Carpenter, whose bachelor’s degree in agricultural sciences immediately led to a role as a rangeland management specialist with the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs.
