Casper College announced recently a new online program in office management, available as both an associate degree and a certificate.

Prior to this semester, the degree was offered only on-campus.

Interim School of Business Dean Roberta Marvel hopes that working people can find time for the program now that its available online.

The academic program includes a mix of software, human resources and business courses. Graduates will be able to enhance their abilities at their current job or find a new career with the skills taught in the programs. According to the colleges website, graduates are prepared for jobs as office or executive assistants.

Successful graduates are suited for a wide variety of positions depending on the industry they choose for employment, Marvel said in a news release. Graduates will have the technical, industry, and business skills for a professional position in a variety of industries.

College spokesman Chris Lorenzen views online degrees as an avenue for people who cant be on campus, and one that allows for growth in statewide enrollment rates.

The program is available to both full- and part-time students.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, more than 2.8 million students across the country were exclusively enrolled in online classes in 2014, or about 14 percent of the total college enrollment at the time.
