I'm considering pursuing Distance Education - what college/university would you recommend.?

I would not suggest distance ed for hospitality.  That is such a hands-on program.  You need to be in classes accustoming yourself to and interacting with all kinds of people. Besides the network you'll develop which will come in handy once you're in the working world.\n\nBut there's always Oakland University.

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.

Try Nova Southeastern University.  They have A LOT of online programs, and my optician earned his degree there (though I don't know if he earned it online or not).

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.

Yes, there are some very good online colleges.  I am in the military and stationed overseas.  A lot of military members are completing their educations this way.\n\nYour degree will be recognized and you can use financial aid!\n\nI received my Bachelors Degree in 2004 this way.\n\nHere are a few Colleges I would recommend that offer online courses:\n\nUniversity of Maryland University College / Bowie State University\n\nUniversity of Oklahoma\n\nUniversity of Phoenix\n\nBest of luck on your pursuit of higher education!

I dont think you will be able to find any sites that offer free Distance Learning and if you do, do you really want a degree from there? If you qualify for financial aid, you might be able to take a few classes part-time. Contact a local college and see what they have to offer online. If you take a class with them, you can always go see the teacher if you are having problems with the class material.

I am going for a graphic design degree at Mt. Sierra and love it. I have a BA already from an on campus school and I have had a better experience with the online classes. About.com has some great information on distance learning and I would highly recommend doing research first and asking a lot of questions. About.com has a great suggestion list of questions to ask an admissions representative. It helped me immensely and I am 100% convinced I made the right decision.\n\nGood luck :-)

check to see how they are accredited but most of them aren't and your degree wont be worth the paper its printed on.\n\nmy school is a normal university that will offer some classes online, call your local university and see if they have the same thing.

You don't have to neccessarily physically attend a special school.  Many agencies offer distance learning courses.  The one I am certified through is ACE.  I would highly recommend them.

It sounds like you are very mature and know what you want. Make sure that you check into the accreditation of Penn Foster. I don't believe that they are regionally accredited. I am pretty confident that their college programs aren't. Accreditation is probably the MOST important thing to look for when looking at online programs. If the program says Nationally accredited or Accreditated through the distance learning counsel etc and does not say regionally accredited stay away from it. It will only hinder you later and colleges will be less likely to accept you.

Depends on the school you end up attending. Now a days there are plenty of traditional schools that have online degree programs. The degree that you would get from those schools are the same as the campus degree. Schools with good reputations like Drexel University, University of Maryland, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University of Baltimore....etc all have online degree programs that you can attend. Schools like university of phoenix I would stay away from.
