For universities the internet opens up a vast new market: professionals who can’t leave jobs and families but would like to boost their careers with a master’s, a professional degree or executive education. The wage premiums for a master’s degree and a professional degree over a bachelor’s are 19% and 57% respectivelyTechnological change also means that knowledge acquired years ago may be out of date. “I wanted to build the skills necessary for the next phase of my career, to remain relevant to my industry and my clients,” says Ann Cleland, a partner in Horne, an accountancy firm, who is taking the Harvard Business Analytics Programme. For her, as for many, an on-campus course was not an option.
