Is it possible to do a full time degree as well as an open university degree at the same time?

It would be very difficult.  Full-time study is supposed to take 32 hours a week so part-time study takes 16 hours a week.  You would have to devote around seven hours a day *every* day of the week to studying.\nIf you were thinking of doing the Open University part-time there would also be little point doing it alongside your full-time studies.  A part-time Open University degree takes six years, while a full-time degree takes three years.  Say you started your full-time degree this year and it ended in three years time, you would still be continuing your part-time Open University studies for a further three years.  You could save yourself the extra stress and do your full-time degree now for three years, then another full-time degree for three years afterwards.\nHowever, the Open University does offer certificates and diplomas that you can gain along the way.  If you studied for one of the science diplomas with the Open University it would only take two years part-time.  That way, in three years time, you would have your full-time accounting and finance degree and a science diploma from the Open University.\nBare in mind, that with the Open University an A is over 85%, a B is over 70% and a C is over 55%.  This differs from regular universities where an A is over 70%, a B is over 60% and a C is over 50%.  So, say you get an overall grade of 75% for your full-time accounting and finance degree and get awarded a 1:1, if you decided to do a degree with the Open University and again got an overall grade of 75%, you would get the lower grade, 2:1.\nAnyway, good luck with whatever you choose to do.

They'll probably have you take a few core classes that you need first but sure. I know if you want to go for an education degree you can do it regardless of your undergrad degree. They just put you through a different program than people who do have their undergrad in education...but both end up with a masters in education.

Ofcourse yes my freind. you can do it by correspondence also. There have been many such cases of people geeting a degree at an old age. Best of luck

You should be applying for both at the same time!  Also apply for student loans and work study if you are struggling (only take what you need though if you aren't).

I assume you are referring to Columbia University in NYC.\n\nIn answer to your question, technically, you cannot begin any PhD coursework without both the Bachelor's degree and the Master's degree in your field of study.\n\nHowever, there are many programs that consist of a combination Master's degree and Ph.D.     If you complete the Master's portion of the program successfully, you may continue on to the Ph.D.\n\nIt would be wise to ask the director of graduate studies at EACH program in which you are interested if ALL who successfully complete the Master's program are admitted into the Ph.D. program.   It is much more likely that SOME who complete the Master's degree will be allowed to continue in the Ph.D. program, but this may vary from institution to institution.

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.

Get double major degree is a greater edu investment. (btw.. Are you a HS graduate or College/Univ graduate?)

excellent question. i will try to give my 2 cents\nOpen university has very flexible and relaxed curriculum that you can do using correspondence ( also online sometimes). Admission requirements are very linient too. \nBut online university basically has same requirements and standards that of a normal university but the benefit is that u can do all courses completely online.. that is from ur workplace, home etc. the downside is u don't interact(personally) with other students(yeah chats and all that are there)  or professors.\nBottomline, the open university has the purpose of providing education to people of all background and constraints.. (making more people educated even if the standards needs to be compromised a bit) but the purpose of online university is to provide all education at your doorstep without necessarily compromising in quality (not at least through course structure or grade requirements).

The Open University is excellent and takes on foreign students.  I live in the UK and have a disability so do all my BSc work from home online and even my examiner comes out to me.  Try it.  They offer ways to spread the cost too.

All degrees are different, and follow their own curriculums.  You would probably have to give a pretty detailed description of your work to date to the new university, and they would judge if it was adequate to match the design of their course.  Speak to the university you want to transfer to, and see if they can help.  Be prepared though - this may not be possible at all.  What is your actual problem?  Is it location or is it the lecturers?  Can your currnet university help with your problem?

These Degrees are accepted, but, as in any profession you will be competing with many individuals after the same position.  If one is a Graduate from a well known College, they may be looked at in a favorable light.  Also you should be aware, it can be difficult to impossible to transfer credits from the online course.  Be sure you read all the fine print.  Be sure that the course offers certification and not just the education.\n\nGood Luck, and Have a Great Day

It can be, but be careful of the on-line university you choose.  \n\nHere is a website for an on-line university that is very well recognized in Canada.

You are able to study whatever you choose.  If you wish to change majors, that is a possibility in every educational system that I am aware of.

It is best to go with what you feel is best. If you feel that taking both courses at the same time would be too much them don't do it. It is best to go into the semester knowing you can kick but in your courses rather than doubting yourself. I have always gotten better results when I know I  can handle a course load.
