With adult learners who would like to launch business careers in mind, Indiana-based Anderson University has unveiled its new offering in the form of an online MBA degree program.

According to the Index-Journal, working professionals are the main target of the new program that will start in January 2010 and allow students to complete their degree in 20 months.

Douglas Goodwin, MBA director and associate dean of the College of Business, told the news provider that although traditional business education is popular among students and convenient for those who live close to the campus, "the online option expands the opportunity to take advantage of a truly unique, high quality MBA to the rest of the country."

He further noted that the new offering will particularly benefit working adults whose professional and family commitments may prevent them from pursuing traditional, on-campus degree programs.

Meanwhile, individuals heading to college may consider enrolling in associates or bachelors programs in business that may prepare them to pursue further education opportunities through online MBA programs.
