Interest in the Boston University Online Program for Financial Planners is up 300% over the same time last year
After surveying nearly 700 potential candidates of the Boston University Online Program for Financial Planners, Boston University (BU) and the Boston Institute of Finance (BIF) today announced a unique profile of potential online financial planning students. According to the responses, potential students tend to be strong self- motivators who, due to work or family reasons, prefer online education over classroom study. Due to schedule or travel difficulties, 75 percent of respondents believe taking a course on campus would be "inconvenient" or "impossible." While only 40 percent of the respondents had taken an online course previously, 66 percent had taken a self study program, perhaps explaining the significant increase in students who are interest in learning via the Internet.
