I'm not sure what programs they offer, but I am currently attending Upper Iowa University online and love it. You have direct interaction with classmates and instructors, including group projects. Your degree is from the Upper Iowa University wich is also a traditional college so it doesn't say "online". Also for working adults they offer excellerated courses where a complete semester is completed in 8 weeks. Good luck and give Upper Iowa a look over.

I took some classes at Devry online.  They actually have physical campuses, which makes me think they would be more readily accepted by potential employers.  But, I don't know.  I didn't finish my degree.\n\nIt got pretty pricey, though.  I was able to get student loans easily to pay for it, but I didn't finish my degree and still have to pay those loans back.\n\nGood luck.

Yeah they offer all these great programs but don't offer degrees.  They only offer diplomas.  I guarantee that a future employer will be searching for a diploma graduate and not a diploma no matter what course it is in.  I researched them and decided to go to a college instead and I am 33.  Never too late, wish I would have went years ago.  If you want to raise your education level might as well go for the gold and go back to college.  Good luck!

No it is not as good.. only 67% of employers recognize an online degree regardless if it's accredited or not.

I would regard online universities as the absolute last resort for someone seeking higher education.\n\nThe quality of education these programs offer is minimal - there is simply no substitute for the kind of dynamic interactions and discussions that commonly occur in face-to-face college courses. Also, the quality of educator is significantly less at online universities - the best faculty choose to teach at real colleges and universities. Both the pay and work environments are far superior to online universities. So, for great classes from great instructors, go to a real college or university.\n\nAlso, because of the minimal training they offer, employers and graduate institutions place little value in degrees earned from online programs. Many of these programs lack even basic accreditation for the degree programs they offer.\n\nBottom line - you will receive little if any personal or professional benefit from online universities relative to what you could have received from a real college or university.

Otis Parsons has a great program.  Of course, there is also an outstanding degree program at UCLA.  It depends on where you are trying to get employed whether a degree will matter.

I definitely think UOP is worth it because I am a student there myself. I am currently obtaining my MBA and having the ability to go to school online has helped me tremendously because I often travel for work. \n\nI am six classes away from my degree and I am happy I did it, and can not wait to start a new chapter in my life with an advanced degree. \n\nI also want to let you know that I attended a traditional state school in California for my BA and after taking classes online at UOP I would never take a class at a brick and mortar school again. Best of luck to you.

May I suggest sifting through the "Economist Intelligence Unit" which lists the top 100 worldwide MBA programs. In the mix you will find several institutions that offer online MBA degrees (university of florida and indiana university) and may even stumble upon a local part-time program that interests you. Don't underestimate the value of the personal network that you can develop through your studies which is much more difficult to emulate in an online setting.\n\nhttp://mba.eiu.com/index.asp?layout=2002rankings\n\nGood luck!

I am currently a full-time online student at AIB College of Business (Des Moines, IA).  I have found that it is great for a person with a difficult schedule.  You can do your work at any time of the day or night from the comfort of your own home.  I have also learned though, that a lot of the time you have to teach yourself many things, as there aren't a lot of lectures and teacher demonstrations.  But if you are good with learning on your own, I definitely recommend online college.

Many for profit univresities like that have poor reputation with employers. You might be better going with a local universtiy with an online program. It should be less expensive as well. It's considered a "degree mill."

I also applied to an online college (AIU Online). It seemed ok at first but they were not very helpful and gave me false information. This is why I opted out, however, it was after I had received a pell grant. If you are having doubts, change your mind. Online colleges are ok for if you need to complete a simple course toward your degree. But simply getting your degree strictly from an online university isn't the way to go. Unfortunately, I found out almost too late. Good luck!

any accredited online school is good.  Many colleges now offer distance programs, and some offer more financial aid than others.  I can say from experience, though... internet classes are just as informative as classroom classes.  Good luck to your husband... He'll have plenty of time to get it all done.  Internet classes really try to work around your busy schedule.  I really think that is their strongest asset

I used to be a Director of a Transfer and Career Center at 2 different colleges in California, and my advice to you is if you have a vocational goal (some type of work you want to do, for example a writer, or a computer software engineer) then you really should talk to prospective employers and see what they think about on-line degrees. \n\nI know of University of Phoenix and more people are going that way, but my own philosophy is if you're going to do on-line work, combine that with standard in-person college work. Get at least 50% of your units in a well-known and respected college where you will actually meet with your instructor and class mates. Employers that I have talked to lately don't want to hire people with online credits only.

Well, I will be finishing up my two year degree at Strayer University here in the next month or so, and it is only in General Studies.\n\nI wouldn't recommend going to school for a bachelors degree online. I say this because In my experience you need the social atomosphere of people in the same field you are in, you also need a learning environment, and not your home office.\n\nAnother thing about online school is that I seem to blow off my work alot and end up having to do it at the last minute on the weekend. I work full time, and value my weekends, so I dont want to be stuck doing school work on the weekends, but I procrastinate and do it anyway.\n\nI would say on my journey for this little degree that I have though, my physical classes I've taken have been no different than my online classes. Most of them have been core classes and electives though, so it's really not a big deal. I would definately want to get my bachelors and above at a real school though.\n\nGood luck.

I don't know where you live but I have a degree in Vocal Music at Kennesaw State University.  They have a GREAT music program and a GREAT education program.  It gained University status about 10 years ago so it is not as expensive as other Universities but is just being recognized as a school you would want a degree from.

There are many schools out there that are reputable that offer on line degree programs. University of Maryland, Drexel University, University of Baltimore, Nova Southeastern University are all traditional that have very good on line degree programs and they are accepted by industry. When you receive your degree it won't say "Online Drexel University" it will be the same degree that traditional students get. Just stay away from University of Phoenix and American Intercontinental University. These maybe accredited schools but they are not schools with good reputations.

while there are online degrees such as university of phoenix, they are not free by and stretch of the imagination.  An associate degree from Uof p was quoted at costing over $15,000.00 to my spouse. \nAny online program that is offering you a free degree is most certainly not going to be a legitimate degree.
