I don't know which country you live in, but Athabasca University in Canada offers a very well recognized distance undergraduate degree in education.  It is a very good university.

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.

Yes! Many community and 4-year colleges and universities around the country offer online or other format of distance learning programs. While you can pick virtually any school, residency requirements still affect tuition. Check with your local community colleges or regional accrediting agency for more info.\n\nThere are schools that operate purely online, allowing them to cater to specific niches and needs, but they tend not to be accredited. \n\nIf you know which university you may want to graduate from later, you can check with their registration department regarding transferring credits, and ask where many students transfer from.\n\nGood luck!

Please please please make sure that the online school you are attending is regionally accredited. If they only mention National accreditation or privately accredited don't attend. I had no problems getting hired with my degree that I earned from Thomas Edison State College completely online. Their website is www.tesc.edu .

Online degrees are a good way to keep your schedule flexible. Typically you can work from any computer with Internet access. You would most likely participate in class discussions via forums or emails. You could hand in assignments by email or by posting to a web page.\n\nHere is some more info about online schools if you're interested:\n\nhttp://www.college-scholarship-hound.com/index.php?t=onlineschools\n\nGood luck!

AIU Online (American InterContinental University) has a really good accreditated 100% online BA program. I am a student there in the BA program and I graduate in a couple of months! I also work there as an admissions advisor. I have already learned so much and it's actually kind of fun with all the other students.

Even if you do find an online Ph.D. program (which I doubt you will), it will not be held in any esteem in academia, or in the working world.\n\nPh.D. study involves close and personal mentoring, hands-on research, and sustained intellectual community. No online program can offer these things, and therefore accredited programs do not even attempt to provide Ph.D. level study online.\n\nI urge you to look for a respected and accredited Ph.D. program. These programs will indeed demand residency, and although this may be inconvenient or even prohibitive for you, it really is the only way.

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.

My daughter is in Early Childhood/ Special Education and she is taking on line courses from Genesee Community College. Also the Univ. of Arizona has online courses.

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.

I applied and took courses through them, and they told me that there is no differentiaion between getting your degree from them online, or going through an actual art institute.\n\nAs a former HR recruiter, I will say that employers differ on their views between online degrees and traditional degress, but, for an Art program, I would think that the impression would be better if it was obtained in person.  \n\nI did take an art course through them, and I'll have to say that it was difficult trying to do a course like that through the internet.  I have taken other online classes, and I think it all depends on the subject matter.

Excelsior is a great answer! \n\nYou might also try these 2 websites, the first is a discussion board about distance learning and the second is by a man who completed a Bachelor's in 4 weeks!  (Of course he knew a lot first and took a lot of CLEP tests).
