GAINESVILLE, Fla., July 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Teachers are known for having a passion for education, but sometimes, their own has to take a back seat due to time or money. Someone at that level in their career obviously has many obligations to juggle, which can make the dream of achieving their PhD, the pinnacle of academic honor, seem too far off to become a reality. Thanks to the expanding nature of online education, though, their PhD can be just a click away. OnlineCollegePlan recently created rankings surrounding several different areas in education.
