New Web Article Highlights 30 "Dirty" Degrees That Get Students Out of the Classroom
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- OnlineSchoolsCenter.com has released their list of the 30 Degrees That Will Get You Dirty which compiles a list of degrees that prepare students for jobs that are hands-on and interactive: degrees that get you out of the classroom and into the field.
You may view this list, along with pictures, descriptions of each degree and links to colleges offering the programs, by visiting http://www.onlineschoolscenter.com/30-degrees-will-get-dirty/
When it comes to getting a college education, most students may envision a stale classroom with four walls, desks and maybe a window to look out of, but if you choose a degree in forensic science, geography, anthropology or even archeology, to name a few, then you are pretty much guaranteed to put yourself into real world applications in the field.
According to web editor Linda Weems, "While technology has allowed higher education to take place in an increasingly online setting, certain degree programs still require students to go out and get their hands dirty, complementing the more conventional academic order of lecture halls and libraries with a good deal of exciting hands-on work in the field. We compiled this list of practical and outdoor-oriented courses for the benefit of future students who might prefer mud on their boots and grime under their nails to the clicking of keyboards and pens."
