eLearners.com and LifeTips.com Expand Partnership To Help Prospective Students Get Business Degrees

Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) August 29, 2007 — To help prospective students break into the business world, eLearners.com and LifeTips.com announce the expansion of their current partnership. LifeTips.com's business section, located at http://businessdegree.lifetips.com/ offers a tip site with information on online education opportunities. eLearners.com sponsors the content geared to help students get business degrees. Previously, eLearners.com sponsored only education-related content on LifeTips.com.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, 20 percent of college students are pursuing a degree in business. The most recent data from the National Center for Education Statistics shows, nearly 294,000 students received a bachelor's degree in business during the 2002-03 school year. The previous school year more than 278,000 students received the same degree.

Business degrees are a perfect fit for numerous professions, including careers in marketing, sales, accounting, finance and consultancy. Right now business degrees are in high demand with employers ranking them third among the top ten most in-demand degrees, followed by mechanical and electrical engineering, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

"A business degree is one of the most versatile degrees a student can have," said Terrence Thomas, eLearners.com Chief Marketing Officer. "However, what many people don't realize is that you can get an accredited and high-quality degree online. These tips will help clear this up."

As more people turn to business degrees, many people are asking questions about the degree on LifeTips.com, with an increasing number of questions focused on online learning. Through this new offering, visitors to the business section of LifeTips.com will now receive advice on how to get an online business degree.

"Online degrees are relatively new, so people have many questions," said Andrew Gansler, CEO of eLearners.com. "This partnership will help answer some of these questions by giving trusted advice about what it means to get a business education online."

Online education is a booming industry and educational analyst firm Eduventures predicts that by next year nearly one in ten college students will sign up for an online degree program.

A wealth of information about online degrees is available on the Internet, and eLearners.com helps people sort through the clutter. eLearners.com provides prospective students a comprehensive database of information on distance learning opportunities and also offers the eLearners Advisor, a unique tool to help determine if online learning is the right choice for them.
