If you want a job in academia, this is not the way to go, but for industry, it serves just fine.

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.

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.

I wouldn't recommend it. You need clinical experience and supervision that you cannot get from on-line classes, and the motivation and counseling just ren't there.

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".

They are a good way to get a degree for people with limited time, such as working parents, etc.\n\nMy friend received her master's degree through online courses.  It took her only one year as opposed to the normal two years.  She had to write papers and participate in weekly chat groups, but nothing very extensive.  While she's enjoying the salary hike thanks to having her master's degree, she says that she didn't really get a lot from the courses themselves.  She also admits that she didn't put as much effort into it as she could have, though.\n\nIf you were able to choose either online courses or a traditional classroom setting for your bachelor's degree, however, I would definitely opt for the classroom!

I honestly don't know who offers distance education in psychology. However, I would say, as a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.), that a master's degree in psychology would lose quite a bit of depth and quality. There are many reasons a traditional education is better suited for those who intend on practicing psychology (e.g., having a personal mentor; learning with others and inspiring others; the emotional support of fellow students; being able to debrief one another after a particularly stressful session; and assessing the clinical skills you have learned, etc.) However, if you do choose to do an online school, it is imperative that you make sure it is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency. If you plan on going further in your education, you will want to makes sure it is not a terminal master's degree. You will also want to makes sure it is accredited by the American Psychological Association. You will also want to make sure it meets the requirements of the state you are practicing in for state licensure. Those are just a few helpful hints and thoughts.

They are handy when you cannot fit a class you need into your schedule.  I had to make up one credit to get my degree and I needed a history/geography class.  The distance education/internet class I took was great.  I could fit the work into my existing schedule, didn't have to go to class, had an open book exam, and had to contribute to a few online chat rooms every so often.  Plus you could email the prof anytime if you had questions.

there are many many universities that give you the opportunity to get a masters degree through distance learning. If MBA is what interests you then search the net based on that. If you are looking for personal experience then I got mine from Columbia Southern University in the USA. They have providers in the Middle East Region, Egypt: Knowledge Academy www.knowledgeacademy.com Feel free to contact them, they are very very helpful.
