What are some names of some colleges that you can get a degree online?

I was wondering what are some names of some colleges that you can get a degree online? Has everyone gotten a degree online? If so what was it like getting a degree online? Did you employer look down on the school?

Congratulations on thinking about furthering your education, you won't regret it.





The state universities and community colleges will be the best and least expensive way to further your education online. Usually degrees obtained online from state universities and colleges will be no different than a degree granted to a student sitting in class. You probably won't get a scholarship, but financial aid is possible.





Stay away from the for-profits because of high cost. Some will be reasonable, but most, like University of Phoenix, overcharge.





If you are just starting your college education or have less than 60 semester credit hours, try your local community college first. They may have an online AA degree program. If they don't, try other community colleges in your state.





Once you have an AA degree, you can enroll in an online bachelor's degree completion program at one of the state universities. Many state universities now have online degrees. The following are some websites to get you started.

When comparing tuition costs, you have to check if the school is on semester or quarter credit hours. To convert from quarter hours to semester hours, divide the tuition by 0.67. For example, if tuition is $180 per quarter credit hour, that is equal to $268.66 per semester credit hour.





Finally, when you choose a school, make sure it is at least regionally accredited. You can check accreditation at http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/search.a... You can learn more about accreditation at http://www.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/i...





Finally, there are a couple of forums online with members who have obtained their degrees online. Some have gone pretty far with their online degrees. The forums are free to join but you can read the forum without joining. You just won't be able to post. http://forums.degreeinfo.com and http://www.instantcertonline.com/forums





Good luck
Reply:Check out www.baker.edu





Baker College is out of Michigan and offers traditional classroom and a 100% on-line program.





It is very affordable at $180 per credit hour and very fast paced. The offer 4 semesters per year, each with 2 6-week sessions. So, if you can handle 2 classes a session, you can clear 16 classes in one year.





My transcript and degree look just like the one from the traditional classroom transcript and degree.





But the on-line learning is not a cake walk. There is a significant amount of classwork that must be done.
