I recently received my Master's Degree through Walden University. It is a completely online program. You read textbooks and articles, watch DVD's by the authors of the books and teachers of prestigious schools, write answers on an online bulletin board, and write a weekly paper or two of only a couple pages each. The best part of the program is that you use the knowledge immediately in the classroom. The students benefit. You benefit. And then, when you are all done, you get paid more. I also found it to be one of the least expensive programs that I researched. Definitely check this out. Very current theories and practices.

I am currently going there for a M.S. in Information Technology.  The program is good and the instructors and pretty decent.  In regards to job placement, I don't know how good their services are, as I'm already employed.  The are fully accredited by the The Higher Learning Commission and North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, which is helpful in getting future employers to actually give you credit for your degree.  I think there is still a bit of a stigma attached to doing your degree online, but suprisingly Capella seems to get a better response to University of Phoenix when I talk about it with peers.  \n\nBottom Line: If you have a lot of self motivation and self direction this is a great school.  They will help you help youself, but it will be just as expensive as going to a real campus.\n\nBest of luck!

The best one I know is Athabasca University in Alberta, Canada.  It has been around for a very long time and specialized in distance learning more than 30 years ago.  It is very well recognized.

I received my BA from a university and my MBA from an on line program.  I went through the University of Phoenix flexnet program.  You go into class the first and last day of each course, and the rest is on line.  It is very demanding, and is tailored for people who work full time.  It was the only option for me and I recommend it to anyone who has the ability to keep themselves on task.  You are required to log in and participate in the on line classroom environment 5 days a week, and assignments must be posted on time to receive credit.\n\nNo one is there to remind you that you have to participate, and a lot of your work in as part of a learning team therefore you are accountable to your teammates on many of your assignments.\n\nI really enjoyed it and so did my classmates.  There was a group of us that went through the program together and graduated together.

The one in symbiosis is no way equal to MBA...\nIts only an PG diploma...And the ICFAI is a mere waste...\nDoesnt carry any value now...Probably you could go for an MBA frm IGNOU or there are many other reputed places which are offering correspondence education these days

Yes. I actually am attending an online program.  The way you can tell if it is credible is if the school offers pell grants.  Pell grants are only offered to students in a credible college.  www.axiacollegeonline.com/  This is the school I attend, and they are associated with University of Phoenix.  The support there is great.

SNAP Test for Symbiosis Postgraduate Programmes\nSymbiosis National Aptitude (SNAP) Test is a common written test for the admission processes of Symbiosis postgraduate institutes. These institutes are either affiliated to SIEC Deemed University or approved by AICTE. SNAP Test is conducted under the aegis of SIEC Deemed University.\nIt is a mandatory written test for admission into any postgraduate programme at Symbiosis. However, it is only the first step. Each institute has its own selection process and a student aspiring to do higher studies at Symbiosis needs to do the following:\n\nStage 1: SNAP Test\n• Register online at www.snaptest.org\n• Follow the instructions for payment of Test fee of Rs. 700/- on this website.\n• On closing of Registration, print “Admit Card” from the website.\n• Paste candidate’s photograph on the Admit Card.\n• Bring the Admit Card on which the candidates photograph is pasted and a Photo Identity to the Test Centre.\n• Appear for the Test.\n\n \n\nStage 2: Submit Application form to a Symbiosis Institute of your choice.\n• Purchase a prospectus & application form as per a chosen institute’s\ninstructions given on its website.\n• Fill in the application form completely and submit to the institute.\n• You can apply to more than one Symbiosis institute.\n\n \n\nStage 3: Attend the call for further selection process of the chosen institutes.\n• Each institute has its own weightages for arriving at a cutoff, depending on its focused field. For example, SIMC may have lower weightages for Quantitative Section while SCIT or SICSR may have a higher weightages for the same section.\n• The institutes will announce a short list for attending further selection process.\n• The individual institutes as per their schedules will announce Short List & Waiting Lists.\n• For details of selection process and schedules please refer to the prospectus of respective institutes.\n\n\nImportant:\n• The mere fact of scoring in SNAP Test does not automatically entail a candidate to be shortlisted for further processing by the affiliated institutes. Each institute may have its own parameters such as weightages, academic background, work experience etc.\n• While adequate care is taken in ensuring that there are no mistakes in reading the answer sheet by the machine, there is no provision of revaluation of the answer sheet of any candidate.\n• The scores published by the SNAP Test Secretariat shall be final and shall not be subject to any appeal or revaluation.\n• The SNAP Score card will be available on the web site for the period of one month after the date of declaration of result (up to February 8, 2007)\n• Symbiosis Test Secretariat would not be held responsible for postal delays in case send by the speed/ registered post/ courier of Demand Drafts.

I have to disagree with some of the preceding comments.  I took courses online from UoP until I could no longer afford them, and then I transferred to a public university (from which I am graduating in 9 days).  The UoP curriculum for my area of study was much better than that of the public university.  Of course, that experience may be due to the major itself (Information Technology).  I can't swear to what other programs are like.  So, like everything else, your mileage may vary.

There are a lot of individual websites for various colleges, but I do recall someone linking an article from slashdot.org recently where they are trying to put links to all these lectures in one place.  Perhaps you'd have luck finding it there?

This question is really difficult to answer.  So much depends on what you want to do with your degree, your individual learning style, your ability to finance higher education, and your over-all committment to learning.\n\nMany public and private (both non-profit and for-profit) universities are moving courses, and sometimes even entire degree programs, into an online environment. Your whole educational process, from admissions through your terminal course work, is conducted via phone, fax, e-mail and the web. What a wonderful concept!\n\nBefore you rush off to enroll, however, stop a moment and consider whether or not virtual learning is right for you.\n*Is the class or program of study offered by an accredited university?\n*Does this university have a solid reputation in the field in which you will pursue your coursework or degree?\n*What sort of training do the instructors have?\n*How long will it take to complete a course or program of study?\n*Are all of the classes taught online or will you need to attend a real classroom some of the time?\n*Is the class taught in real-time (meaning you'd have to log on during specific hours/times/days), or is time management up to me?\n*How much will it cost me?\n*And, finally, is there any financial aid available to me?\n\nIf, after working through all of these questions, you find yourself fully satisfied with the answers, then the online course or degree program is probably a good match for you. If not, weekend or accelerated degree programs may be your answer. If all else fails, its time to sit down and rearrange your schedule and make time for the traditional graduate program.\n\nBest of luck to you!
