Are you working a part-time or full-time job? Do you have personal responsibilities, a family member to care for, or a hobby you spend time on each day?

You’re not alone. Most of us have full lives, and we often struggle to choose how we spend our time. There’s no denying a busy schedule is the primary reason why many adult students enter a flexible degree program.

What is a flexible degree program?

Flexible degree programs, such as those offered at Ohio Business College, enable students to determine the class times that work best for them.

At OBC, students have the option to schedule day or evening classes. Both have advantages for each individual student, so when considering your class schedule, it’s important to remember what works best for you.

Benefits of Day Time Classes

Students who benefit from morning classes could be:

• Early risers or “morning people”
• Working second or third shift
• Interested in getting classes out of the way early so they can study at night
• Parents with children in daycare

If this sounds like you, you might want to consider day classes. However, if your life obligations make enrolling in day classes difficult, you might be more suited for evening classes.

Benefits of Evening Classes

Evening classes are beneficial for students who:

• Work a traditional shift (i.e. 8 AM – 5 PM)
• Care for family members during the day
• Feel more energetic at the end of the day
• Need time before class to prepare, review material or study

There is no wrong option when it comes to choosing a schedule that works for you. In fact, when you create a routine, you’re more likely to succeed, according to CampusExplorer.com. “Adult students who develop a routine and stick to it have less of a problem sustaining motivation.” ¹

Build a class schedule that works for you, and you’ll soon find you can thrive personally and academically.
