Online Master’s Programs by Subject

You do not need to know the exact master’s degree you want before you begin. Start with the broad field that best matches what you want to study or the type of work you want to pursue. From there, you can narrow your options to specific degrees and program areas.

Start with the type of knowledge, skills, or career direction you want the degree to support. Some fields lead to a relatively clear professional path, while others contain several master’s degrees that can lead to different roles.

Once you identify a broad subject area, compare the degrees within it based on curriculum, prerequisites, career alignment, and the type of work each degree is designed to prepare you for. For example, choosing healthcare as a field still leaves substantially different paths in nursing, public health, healthcare administration, and health informatics.

You do not need to choose a university at this stage. Narrow the degree direction first , then compare programs within that field based on cost, format, admissions requirements, completion time, and other priorities. Once you have narrowed your degree direction, OMC’s guide to choosing an online master’s program can help you evaluate individual programs and universities.
