Because Adult Learners Want Them!
There are a number of reasons why adults choose to enroll in post-secondary degree programs. But perhaps the top reason they enroll, especially online, is the ability to continue working while striving towards a better paying job once they graduate.
However, as you also know, there are a number of reasons this same demographic doesn’t enroll; even though online enrollment may be the best fit for the adult work-life balance.
Not so surprisingly, the top reason for not enrolling is affordability. Recent data show that 46% of prospects polled say the main reason they don’t commit to furthering their education the cost.[1]
However, today’s adult learners DO want to increase their viability in the jobs market, they DO want to do so while continuing to earn a living, and they DO want to do it cost effectively… and quickly.
Meaning, they are willing to enroll in a degree or certification program, they just want to have better assurances of possible outcomes compared to real costs, and they often want to complete course work ASAP.
Today, Conversion Media Group, a national leader in higher education enrollment initiatives, will share with you the 25 programs your school should consider offering, if it’s not already – many of which can be offered fully online!
Why? Because, simply, many adult learners have an interest in them.
Now, as you’re about to see, a lot of the programs we’re going to list aren’t traditional bachelor’s programs. In fact, some are related to the trades, while others are certification/licensing programs.
But regardless of the type of program, they are on the radar of adult learners, and many of them can be offered either fully online or hybrid when in-person instruction is a must.[2]
They are…
Nuclear Science Technology, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Electrical Engineering Technology, Construction Project Management, Radiation Therapy, Software Development, Law Enforcement, Computer Programming, Paralegal Studies, Radiologic Technology, Web Development, Dental Hygiene, Accounting, Real Estate, Air Traffic Control, Aircraft Mechanic Technology, Occupational Therapy Assistant Studies, Court Reporting, Aerospace Engineering Technology, Flight Attendant, Medical Records and Health Information Management, Funeral Service Management, Culinary Arts, Heating, Air Condition, and Refrigeration Technology and Nursing Science.
With today’s adult workforce wanting/needing to increase their opportunities in the jobs market, many have turned to online degree and certification programs like the ones listed above.
But of course, simply offering popular programs will not help you attract new students. For that, you need a marketing partner to help fill your “seats.”
That’s where Conversion Media Group comes in.
You see, since we own and operate US-based contact centers, conducting inbound and outbound phone calls, sending outbound SMS text, conducting instant chat, video chat… full social media contact, digital marketing, email contact, lead generation, and lead nurturing of prospects…
We can produce what are called live lead transfers.
Live lead transfers are people we’ve gotten to know through various contact points, nurtured them and actually have them on the telephone. Yes, the telephone.
Once they indicate they’re interested in what your school has to offer, we can transfer the call, in real-time, directly to your enrollment department.
These are real people with real educational needs…
Needs your school could potentially fill. They just need to talk with you first.
No matter what kind of programs you currently have, we can help find adult learners who are a very good match for what you do offer.
Now, if you’re looking to generate new students for your online college, trade, or vocational school, then partnering with Conversion Media Group should be your top priority today.
