It is both illegal and highly unethical. The majority of jobs would fire you upon finding out, and possibly sue you for fraud.

Technically legal, definitely unethical! They imply they are the fast/inside track when all they do is fill out the forms that anyone can do for themselves. \n I requested the specifics of their program in Irish...below was their response.\n  Note the price in the last line for filling out the forms!

Simply put, no... it will not be recognized to the same degree that a 'real' bachelor's degree will be.  Many positions that requires a BS/BA will not even consider you for employment, that doesn't mean that none will; just that most won't.  Online degree's overall are looked upon as lessor than a degree given at a physical institution. (a degree for life experience would be even more so)  This doesn't mean that the education is bad, but some online school's have... questionable practices when it comes to issuing diploma's and degree's... this carries over to all of the legitimate online schools and the effect is the same; online degrees are less valuable and often looked down upon when it comes to real life employment.  Especially when it comes to sciences, psychology included.

No accredited university sells their degrees. What you need to watch out with these face diplomas is that some companies not only provide the paper, they even have a telephone service that will pose as the university registrar and claim the degree to be valid. If the soldier offers to give you the number to call to verify is degree, don't accept it- or better yet.. DO take the number, then go and look the phone number up yourself. If it's a different number, there's your first sign. Chances are if it is a different number, then when you call the number you found, you'll see that it is indeed fake.

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!

Yes, you can use the degree if it is from an accredited and recognized university.  These days, many univerisities are offerring online programs, so it should not be too hard to find one that is suitable for your program of choice.  I know several people who have taken online bachelor degree and masters programs who are doing quite well in their fields.

There are real online courses for real colleges for real credit, but you have to apply to a bonified university or college to do so.  My father teachers online courses for the U of Maryland and it attracts many overseas officers and students otherwise unable to attend regular classes on campus.  Beware of the online degree that advertizes getting your diploma in two months or a year.  You'll have to spend real money for these courses as well; online doesn't mean less work than in the classroom.

Not necessarily.\n\nJust like you wouldn't normally put your educational degrees on your mail.

From what I've been seeing and hearing from University Professors, On line degrees are not seen the same way as "regular school" degrees.  However, it all depends on:\n1)  what job you are trying to get and\n2)  who is hiring you.\n\nSome things you just can't learn on line (like becoming a Doctor of Medicine), so you have to make sure that your on line program is credited to give you a degree in whatever it is that you want to do.\n\nCertain companies don't care where you got the degree as long as you have it, while others are more picky, so you should try to find out from your current or possible employers whether getting an online degree would give you benefits at work (promotions, raise, etc.).

Let me begin by offering this warning--BE VERY CAREFUL!!  Yes, there are some online colleges that are legitimate; and there are others that are nothing more than degree mills. It is very important to recognize that all of these colleges are private institutions and are usually for-profit. That makes a huge difference when it comes time to validate your degree to either your employer or to another college.\n\nThere are several factors that you must consider.  First, what exactly do you want to accomplish with your degree. If the answer is personal satisfaction or perhaps a raise or promotion at work, then online may be the way to go. However, if you are looking to advance yourself with a master's or doctorate degree, like I am doing, then online may not be a viable route. For example, there are at least three online law schools--none of which are accredited by the American Bar Association. Without ABA accreditation, you cannot practice in Florida, which is where I live. So, online is not a viable option for me. \n\nSecond are the cost considerations. Online schools are typically outrageously expensive.  And there is no benefit to paying that additional fee. \n\nIf you are interested in obtaining your degree online, start with your local community college. Most community colleges are facing a funding crisis that prohibits them from building additional classrooms. As a result, many have turned to online versions of thei9r classes. They carry full college credit (make sure that they are regionally accredited) and the cost involved are quite reasonable--in some cases as low as $30 per credit hour.  \n\nI would try this route first and see if it will allow you to achieve your goals. Good luck!!

They are a proprietary school, which means they are for profit.  They don't have a very good reputation with employers to be honest, so please investigate thoroughly before enrolling and getting a degree that will be worthless to you in the work world.

Go to CHEA. They have the list of regional and national schools that are accreditted. Be careful! Don't trust the school site until you check it out. I go to school online and it's great but there are lots of bogus schools out there that have degrees that mean nothing.

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 believe that your best bet is those that offer Distance Education through the actual university that actually exists, has a building, and has actual students attending it. They look less legit than attending the university physically, but more than those schools that advertise on TV that offer you a free computer. If a school is advertsing on TV you might want to look elsewhere.
