For many businessmen online education has been a dream.Now it has come true.The investment (投资) in higher education, whether financial or in terms of time, has long been impossible for many of them.But well-known educational institutions have chosen to deliver an internet-based program, and these barriers(障碍) have been lifted.

  That is good news for people eager to improve themselves and is more attractive to employers.It is also a benefit to industry with better qualified candidates(候选人) applying for jobs at every level.

  Employers have become increasingly welcome and positive to online qualifications as more candidates earn them, especially if they’re properly approved by the US Department of Education.
