He readily admits that if he had not met his now wife at the age of 19, he doubts he would have finished his undergraduate degree. Stanfield persevered and got through his undergraduate career but didn\u2019t do very well\u2014which he says \u201cwas okay,\u201d but ultimately meant that he wasn\u2019t particularly competitive for accounting jobs, his chosen career field.<\/p>\n<p>After stints with entrepreneurship and sales, Stanfield decided he wanted to return to school for an MBA and chose Ball State to do that. Through online classes, Stanfield earned his MBA and quickly found that he was more excited working on class projects and assignments than what he was doing for his day job. This led him to pursue a PhD and, eventually, join the ranks of Ball State\u2019s faculty.<\/p>\n<p>None of this would have been possible had he not had those MBA online classes, which is why he\u2019s so excited to launch the new online accounting program.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Opportunities Abound<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cBall State has a long tradition of excellence in accounting. We have a multitude of graduates who are serving in positions across the state, the Midwest, and across the nation, says Stanfield.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis includes public accounting firms, private and public businesses, government, nonprofits, education\u2014just about everywhere. We want to expand our reach of who we can bring our offerings to, so the accounting program is being expanded to include an online degree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For nontraditional students for whom distance, time commitments, or being on campus are barriers, this new program will offer the chance to earn an education and move up in their career or even kickstart a second or third career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe career goals of someone who is starting a Bachelor\u2019s in Accounting straight out of high school may not be the same as someone who has been out of college for some time,\u201d explains Dr. Stan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe realize that with our online students, maybe they found that they needed more education in their current job role in order to [be promoted], or maybe they want to make a career change and move into a second or third career. We expect to see more diversity with our online students.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>New Program Breeds Invention<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The online program itself has been in development for several years, but like so many things in our lives, it was delayed due to the pandemic. Ball State had to start teaching online out of necessity, and the online program was put on hold.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, \u201cnecessity is the mother of invention,\u201d says Stanfield. Due to that delay, those developing the online accounting program were able to learn and adapt as they went, thinking of new things for the stalled program as they taught online.<\/p>\n<p>Once things settled down and everyone was back on campus, it was obvious that the online accounting program was something worth pursuing and launching.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>For &#8220;Dr. Stan,&#8221; It&#8217;s Personal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Overall, Stanfield and his colleagues are overjoyed to bring this online bachelor&#8217;s degree to Ball State. For Stanfield in particular, it takes on a more personal note.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really excited to see what my colleagues do with this program and how I can learn from that, but I\u2019m also excited to connect with first-generation college students like myself, teach them what I\u2019ve learned outside the classroom, the norms\u2014things that students whose families have a background in higher education, they already know. Similarly, I love connecting with nontraditional students and seeing them succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jason \u201cDr. Stan\u201d Stanfield, assistant professor of accounting at Ball State University, can easily relate to the nontraditional students coming to Ball State Online for its new online Bachelor\u2019s in Accounting.
