Online Degree School

Posts Tagged ‘online colleges’

I’m a stay at home mom with no full time access to a babysitter. I’m extremely choosy who I leave my kids with. So I don’t have alot of options other than online since I still have a little one not yet in school himself. I have my highschool diploma but I seriously want to get a degree and a career once the boys are all in school.

as another option, check out what courses are available to you as an external student. Many universities have some courses or subjects available through flexible delivery or block mode. you might not be able to do a whole degree this way, but even doing it part time from home (not a full student load each year) will get you started, and once all your kids are at school, you may be able to complete your studies as a full-time student.

Should I try to find a school that is relatively local to me? I live in Virginia.

How do you know if the online school you’re applying to is accredited or not?

University of Phoenix. They are Nationally accredited and Regionally accredited.
When you talk to your enrollment adviser, ask them to send you papers that tell you this information. They will be happy to do so.
Also University of Phoenix is not only rated number one they have 10 months years, which means you will get you diploma faster!

I have heard of some degrees that were earned through online courses that are for profit only that are frowned on by employers and companies and I’ve heard of ones that are just as good as going on campus, any recommendations? I would love to attend a college on campus but being a military spouse it’s not easy to stick around in one spot long enough to attend a college on campus. Thank you.

The best online programs are at the best colleges. Almost everyone teaches online these days and include the likes of Harvard, UC-Berkeley, UMass, Columbia, UTexas, and 1000s more.

Of course, the best colleges generally cost more than the lesser colleges but not so when comparing the for-profits. A class at Harvard or UC-Berkeley online will cost you less than one from UPhoenix or AIU. You’ll get better transfer reception from the first two than the others.

My favorite search tool for online programs is at Petersons.com http://www.petersons.com/distancelearning/code/search.asp You might be really surprised what’s available to you completely online.

Which is best depends a lot on what you want to get a degree in. For example, Boston U offers their master’s and doctorate in music online. Not so useful unless you want to study music.

UMass (http://www.umassonline.net/) has an awesome selection of fully online programs as an example for you.

UMaryland has a nice selection of online programs AND has a campus on many military bases. http://www.umuc.edu/mil/mil_home.shtml

Many public colleges will give you in-state tuition as a military spouse – that can make a huge price difference for you.

Bottom line though is to pick the best college you can get into and can afford. Remember, the first couple years are far less expensive if done at a community college. Cerro Coso Community College online (http://cconline.cerrocoso.edu/) is priced well and has a huge military student population.

Also keep in mind that military education offices have CLEP, DANTES, and ECE exams available. You can knock out a lot of credit by self-study and testing.

I have a 4 year enlistment.

if you have zero credits now, then no. it takes about twice as along to earn a degree while AD as you can pretty much only take one class at a time.

a 2 year degree is much more realistic a goal.

“In today’s economy, a college education is more important than ever before. But working parents, going back to school can be impossible for them. FOX 9′s Bill Keller explains how a new scholarship program is helping some overcome financial hurdles of earning an online degree.” To apply for a full-ride scholarship to earn an online degree, go to www.projectworkingmom.com before April 30, 2009.
