What is a good Online College for a Associate Degree in Business Management?

There are two things that you need to realize:  \n\nFirst -- there are no good on-line colleges.\n\nSecond -- an Associates Degree in Business won't do that much for you (unless you plan to go on to a four year college).

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.

An associates in business is almost worthless--you need a bachelors.  If you are planning on getting an associates, computers would probably be better.  \n\nIf you commit to a 4 year degree, major in business & minor in computers or vice versa.  And then add certifications (by taking exams i.e. CPA, CIA) rather than an MBA.

There are also other options - You could get a bachelor's in general studies or humanities. You also mentioned that the IT industry is not for you, but what about other industries? A business degree can be applied to almost every industry and it also gives you the option of starting up your own company. It seems that your desire to go back to school and get your bachelor's is really what's driving you here and you should definitely go for it without thinking twice about it. A bachelor's degree in whatever area is something that employers look for and expect. I have seen successful corporate managers with bachelor degrees in arts or history. So, go back to school, talk to your counselor and don't worry about your major. If you find something you love, then that'll be great but meanwhile just look at this whole process as a self-discovery journey and an employment tool.

You can try this university: Henley Management Institute in the UK. They have a distance learning MBA that does not require stay in the UK. Perhaps this may suit you best.

I myself just started on online college and WOW! i have a 4.0 gpa the best i have ever had, some say it is not as hard, but oh well, it will be a degree. It all really depends on how much you want to spend and if they are accredited? There are a lot of schools so just narrow it down to what you want to do and research those schools. try ctuonline, or regis university, or ? there are so many out there.\n\nctu online is a good school and they have very good customer service.(in my opinion)

You could try a professional certificate in Management / Business Administration, or if time and money permit, a MBA.\nI would personally opt for a MBA program, as this will give you a very good insight on Business and Management, and will certainly open many doors for you career-wise. I have no idea where you live, but most serious, accredited universities offer flexible schedule MBAs so you can keep on working while studying. Just make sure you check out the university's accreditations, there are way too many scams nowadays especially from online-based universities.

The key element that you should look for in an online degree it to make sure that the school is regionally accredited.  A few states (Colorado and Mississippi, I know off the bat) have a virtual community college site where you can take online courses from almost any of their community colleges.  You'll want to be very careful about technical degrees, though.  I have lots of students who are re-taking many of their classes at c.c. after they found out that companies won't accept their degrees from schools that aren't regionally accredited.

I'm not sure about business, but if you are interested in psychology, and live in southern california, check out the masters in psych course at UCF http://www.csufextension.org/Classes/GG_MSCounseling.asp\nThis course is designed for working adults, and the college is great!

Honestly, I found that unless you're going to the top MBA schools~ Wharton, Yale, Harvard etc. It really doesn't matter.  I've seen people with online degrees from Thomas Edison or Phoenix online obtain executive management positions.

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 :-)

The biggest thing when looking for an online university is to check the accreditation. If they are a regionally accredited college the credits you earn (General Education) can be transferred to other Universities, like Ohio State or whatever. If it is a nationally accredited college, it is trash.\n\nYou should try looking into regionally accredited State Universities for working adults. Just go to the biggest school in your state (for me it's the University of Minnesota) and then ask them for a list of other state schools in the area. If your major university doesn't offer online classes, there is a good chance these colleges will, plus you have the opportunity to discuss your academic progress with a counselor. You also pay in state tuition rates as well.\n\nGood luck.

Here's what you can do. Start your degree in business management. The business management degree will cover all of the topics you mention including some others. All of the specialized programs are virtually the same with the exeption of a few courses. For instance, the only difference between a degree in marketing and a degree in business is 4 courses. The same with business and finance. So you could consider getting a dual degree in business and also finance, or marketing and business. You could then continue your education to get your Masters degree in the area of study you like. For instance, you can get a Masters in Finance, or Master in Marketing or Business.

Try Goshen College, Ohlone College, or San Antonio College for starters. They all have really good programs, its just a matter of what exactly you want.

Athabasca University in Alberta, Canada specializes in distance education and offers full degree programs on-line.  I've attached the website.

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!
