Check to see if it is accredited. Some colleges wont recognize it, if you wanted to get a master's at their university. Be careful!!!!

Is it accredited? That's the most fundamental question to be posed. You can search top ten business schools on here and see what you come up with. I personally know that Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University is ranked top ten in the U.S by the Wall Street Journal for undergraduate studies.

In general, I always recommend that people look at online degree programs from schools that have a strong reputation offline - their brick-and-mortar college has a good rep, so thus their distance learning program is often also respected. So, rather than U Phoenix, I'd also suggest that you check first with your local colleges, especially your state colleges. If you can go online to a state college as an instate student, you get the instate tuition rate - which is often a HUGE discount. If nothing in state appeals to you, then check for reputable colleges that also offer online/distance learning programs. \n\nSome reputable colleges that offer distance degrees, off the top of my head:\n\nRensellaer Polytechnic Institute\nUniversity of Massachusetts, Amherst\nUniversity of Maryland\nWorcester Polytechnic Institute\nThe New School for Social Research\nCarnegie Mellon\nUniversity of Denver

It's only going to be worth it if the degree is from an accredited university.  There are quite a few established universities that offer online programs (such as an MBA) where you would never have to set foot on campus.  SMU (Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX) offers an online Masters program in Engineering, for example.  California State University in Dominguez Hills offers an online MBA program and I believe California State University in San Bernardino offers an online MPA program.  University of California at Berkely I think also offers a variety of online degrees.  Duke offers an online Masters of Environmental Management.  As far as I can tell, you can work at your own pace, so if you wanted to be enrolled in several different schools at the same time, you could certainly do that.  It just depends on how much time you're willing to devote to your studies.  \nAs for being cost effective, I would say that depends on a number of factors including the school you're thinking about going to.  Some schools charge by the year and you can take as many classes as you want; others charge by the class.  Obviously a "state school (from my examples, the Cal States and the UC)" charges one price if you're a resident of that state and a higher price if you're a "non-resident."  Private schools (Duke and SMU) charge significantly more.  \nI would say it is certainly possible to go through more than one program at a time, but it will be increasingly more difficult to do if you're working.  One program will be difficult enough if you're working.  If you are looking for a Bachelor's program, I would suggest starting at a JC and maybe taking a couple online classes and/or evening classes to see how it fits in with your schedule and lifestyle, and it will be significantly less expensive to get all of your lower division classes out of the way there compared to anywhere else.  From there, I would look at state schools near you (next cheapest) and see if they have programs you're interested in and possibly double major so you wouldn't have to enroll in two schools, which would be incredibly expensive.  If you're looking for an online Master's program, it may not be cost effective to go to one school online for both programs if the school charges by the class.  I have been looking into two different programs I am interested in for my Master's, and one is a private school and charges by the class.  The other is a nearby state school and is significantly cheaper flat fees.  The private school does offer the program that the state school does, but the state school doesn't offer the program that the private school does.  In my case, it would be more cost effective to go to the two different schools, rather than do both programs at the private school.\nHave you thought about applying for financial aid?  If you're over (I believe) the age of 24, you can get significantly more aid to help you pay for your studies.  If you are working, some employers will help pay for tuition and books if the degree would be beneficial to the company in any way.\nGood Luck!

I received my BA from a university and my MBA from an on line program.  I went through the University of Phoenix flexnet program.  You go into class the first and last day of each course, and the rest is on line.  It is very demanding, and is tailored for people who work full time.  It was the only option for me and I recommend it to anyone who has the ability to keep themselves on task.  You are required to log in and participate in the on line classroom environment 5 days a week, and assignments must be posted on time to receive credit.\n\nNo one is there to remind you that you have to participate, and a lot of your work in as part of a learning team therefore you are accountable to your teammates on many of your assignments.\n\nI really enjoyed it and so did my classmates.  There was a group of us that went through the program together and graduated together.

Perhaps thorugh some phony online scam. And most of those are just enticing you witht he words "degree in one year".\n\nHow many credits do you have now? The best you may hope for in a year is an AA if you work your tail off. BA-BS 2 to 4 years, the lesser if you have a lot of credits already. It at least needs to be a reputable online or campus oriented school. Phoenix online, last I heard, was close to $400 per credit though.

It depends on the major / degree you're seeking.\n\nThere are many MBA degrees offered online through well known universites...\n\njust make sure any school you attend is accredited.

U. Chicago\nNorthwestern\nMichigan\n\nThese are great schools that are nationally respected.  UC doesn't offer an undergrad business degree, but their economics program is one of the top 5 in the world.

I probably seem prejudiced since I teach at UTSA, but they have a top-notch Business program and excellent facilities (no, I'm not in the Business Department).  I suppose it all depends upon what he's looking for and how devoted he is to you, but your boyfriend couldn't go wrong by enrolling at UTSA.....after all, its part of the University of Texas system and they go out of their way to get top-of-the-line faculty!

Find out if the online school is accredited.  This means that their diploma is equivalent to the standards and practices of real time universities.\n\nMany universities offer online courses, I think the University of Pheonix offers degrees online, but I could be mistaken\n\nGood luck!

I am currently taking online courses and I think that the program is absolutely wonderful.  I am obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Science/Criminal Justice and I feel as though completing online courses are much better than going to an actual campus.  There are ways that you can find out by searching online...you can use these keywords:  "online education"  OR  "online degree programs".
