Let’s face it, it is a competitive and ever-evolving job market out there. So, the more you can do to keep your professional skills up to date and relevant to make yourself stand out, the better. There are several things you can do to stay valuable in the job market – joining professional organizations or associations, attending networking events within your industry, undergoing professional training or certificate programs, and lastly, advancing your degree with a master’s program.

Many people looking to move upwards in their career – whether in title, salary, or responsibility – will consider a master’s degree. And, thanks to technology, online master’s programs (like the ones offered at Goodwin College) are now more accessible and attainable than ever before.

Goodwin College offers two online master’s degree options – a Master of Science in Nursing degree and a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership (MSOL). Both of these master’s programs are designed to help individuals take their careers to the next level and to stand out in the competitive job landscape. Even more, they are designed with the ambitious, yet always-busy or already-working students in mind.

The MSOL and MSN programs at Goodwin College boast flexible scheduling options, so that those with other priorities (work, family) are still able to earn a master’s degree. For convenience, both master’s degree programs are offered entirely online. Our MSOL courses are also offered in hybrid online and on-campus formats, allowing students the option to create the curriculum that fits best with their needs.
