Online education has changed the way education is delivered . Higher education has been the leader of providing online education . Currently , the fastest growing online degree program in higher education is a Master of Business Administration (MBA ) degree . This demand is due to employees who are looking to move up in their career but who are not able to attend school full -time . Many accredited not -for -profit business schools as well as for -profit universities have launched their own online business degree programs to meet this demand .
