Online Degree School

Posts Tagged ‘degree’

This is a trick question — because there are no good online universities for getting an MBA. You would be better off getting a tattoo on your forehead that says "I have a bad education." It would have the same effect — and be a lot cheaper.

An MBA from a top 15 school will allow you to get a six figure salary and a job in nearly any field. An MBA from a ranked college not in the top 15 will allow you to increase your salary and will help you get a great job. An MBA from an unranked program will do very little for you in terms of getting more money or a new job — but may help you get ahead in your current position. But an MBA from an online university will actually make it harder for you to get a good job. Employers will laugh at your resume and throw it away.

The University of Phoenix, for example, is a For Profit corporation that costs more than reputable state universities. They were recently fined a record $9.8MM for sleazy recruiting practices. I’ve read that they are currently being investigated for padding their placement numbers. In addition, companies like Intel have decided that they will not pay for their employees to take classes there — because they lack rigor.

Get your MBA at a real school.

Has anyone ever been sucessful in finding a job using an online degree? If so what degree did you earn and from what college did you attend? Thanks, I am stay at home mom looking to move forward in my education I just don’t know what feild I would like to get into. I saw a few nursing degrees that are online, but i know i’m not going to get any job with a online nursing degree. Most companies what more hands on in that feild.

You have to be careful when choosing the college that you get an online degree from. Some of them are jokes; they aren’t regionally accredited, and don’t hire people with advanced degrees to teach the classes.

There are some excellent universities that offer a variety of degrees. I’m not sure where you live, of course, but I’m familiar with a couple of them and can recommend them.

Utah State University has on-line associate’s, bachelor’s and advanced degrees. Some of them are available entirely online. They offer degrees in the social sciences, education, business, and computer science.

Just wondering if anyone here has gotten their degree online from the UofP. If so, does your degree actually say (or refer to) "online degree"? Thanks!

No, it’s not on the diploma but most people make that connection by assumption if you have a UoP diploma. If that’s an issue for you then you might be happier with a diploma from a State U online program such as UMass or Florida State.

I have a Bachelors of Science, but can’t seem to find a decent job. I am considering going back for my Masters. I work in the day, and must be home in the evening. I will take classes online, but why put the effort if it’s not recognized by hiring managers.
Adam, Thanks for the advice. My BS is in Journalism. I gut tells me to take to long road. But, I don’t know what school or career to choose. No matter what, it looks like I’ll be starting over.

In my 15 years of HR experience I can tell you that Univ of Phoenix is better than a BA/BS degree alone, but they sit close to or at the bottom of any MBA program. What is your BS in?

If you are serious about improving your job prospects you not only need to chose the correct career path but also the best school for you. There are many…MANY schools with a better reputation. They will take longer to graduate, but nothing good comes easy! If you want to pay your tuition and buy a degree as quickly as possible, U of P is for you.
