Due to some unfortunate circumstances I need a language course in order to graduate from my university and don’t want to take it here. So instead Im looking for an accredited school that offers online courses, preferably in Spanish. My school (on the quarter system) requires it to be equivalent to a Spanish 3 course here.
As of now, Ive found University of Phoenix but that’s it. Anyone know of any others?

I am considering attending the University of Phoenix online for my MBA. Is this reputable yet or do people view online courses as a joke?

I would like to attend graduate school to get my Phd, but the university I would like to attend in as least 100 miles away. I have a business that is impossible to move with me. It would be perfect if I could find a legitimate college or university to attend online.
What I mean by legitimate is an online college like MIT, Stanford or Penn State, not a college like University of Phoenix or Walden. Does anybody have any ideas?

I’m looking into becoming an online school teacher and I was curious to know how much they get paid, do they get paid hourly or salary and since it’s distant learning and all the people live throughout the world, how do you get paid? How much is it that virtual teachers usually get? For example: If I worked for the University of Phoenix online. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi…I have a B.A. in Psychology that I attained from Oral Roberts University in 2003. I have been working in the field of social services for the last 6 years. I do not want to further my education in anything related to social services (i.e. counseling, therapist, etc). I would like to pursue a Master’s in something under the umbrella of IT. I also am looking to go online for school as I work full time and I just don’t want to have to go to a traditional school if I don’t have to. I have done a semester online at ITT Tech a couple of years ago and enjoyed the online experience. I was working on an Associate’s in Computer Forensics. I actually am highly fascinated with this field so I would like to pursue it at the graduate level.

In the master’s arena, it is not usually called Computer Forensics however. I also am interested in learning how to program different applications on the computer. What program would encompass computer security AND computer programming (software engineering)?

I have been debating between a few online colleges: (1)Kaplan (which has a Master of Science in Information Technology with a concentration in Information Security and Assurance). (2)University of Phoenix has a Master of Information Systems. This one is kind of broad but does have courses in information security and computer programming. (3) Virginia College has a Master of Science in Cybersecurity. This one is very specific and no computer programming courses. (4) Keller Graduate School of Management has a Master of Information Systems Management with a concentration in Information Security. Lastly, (5) AIU has a Master of Information Technology with a concentration in Internet security. Now, these are just the colleges that I have researched and I have spoken with the academic advisors and am considering attending (I’ve actually researched a few more but for whatever reason, I eliminated them).

Out of the 5 online schools that I mentioned, are there any that you would personally not consider and why?? I have heard good stories and I have heard horror stories. All 5 of the schools I mentioned are accredited. Can you offer any other colleges or programs for that matter that may be a better fit that I can look into based off of the information that I have given you about myself??

I know I’ve written a lot of information. I just feel like the academic advisors at these specific schools are biased and I would love an unbiased point of view Also, let me add this one last thing as a sidenote, I used to work with therapists as the case worker for sexually abused children. Our agency worked alongside the police department, sheriff’s department, district attorney’s office, etc., etc. This is when I really became involved in computer forensics, because I would love to know how to go into a suspect’s computer and recover lost data that they think they erased (i.e. a pedophile with child pornography) and that is what the degree should provide for me. And as I said earlier, I would also like to know how to actually program applications or software on the computer that can be used in that field or even in other unrelated fields. Please help…I am trying to make a decision by the end of the year with hopes of starting school in early 2010. I know I’ve said a lot and have written a book but this is actually the narrowed down version since I first started this process….

Thank you for your input…"

I’m attending the university of phoenix online, in business. I am a little worried whether or not this type of degree is respected among employers, and if it really is as good as going to college in real-life.

Hi Guys
I hope you can help me out on this. Qualified people working in the healthcare field are free to tell it as it is too!

I just finished up an MBA and a Masters in Strategic Marketing, but am moving back to the States next year because as a native English speaker in France (husband is French—but he can make the move with me as he works in software) since 3 years despite my qualifications, I just couldn’t advance in my career—after a year and a half I finally landed a position as an intern, but with no job offer in sight

I am aiming to get into the health care sector as it looks promising in terms of careers and career progression. So should I go ahead and do a Masters in Health Administration or just do an Associates since I already have general business competencies? I’ve read that the industry is pretty competitive and that a Masters in Health related studies only qualifies you for an entry level position –which is fine by me! I just want to start working again! Am willing to pay my dues!

I would be doing it online from University of Phoenix(expensive!!!) while I hopefully will have a small job in NY or NJ to pay my bills and my tuition (per credit of course!!)

Do people in the field take an Associates degree seriously? Position I am aiming for first before climbing my way up: Assistant Administrator.

Thanks for your help!

I’m interested in starting back to school in the next six months. I’ll likely be transitioning to a work-at-home situation with my current employer soon, and I’d like to multi-task with some online courses(light load to start, of course). I’m very good at that, and frankly I’ve tackled MUCH more intensive jobs than the one I’m doing now with great ease, so I’m not concerned about focus, etc.

I’m interested in associates degrees in two fields:

-Programming: C++, some 3D design work, and (if possible) an emphasis on physics-based programming(I would love to program the way that objects interact with eachother in games, etc)

-or-(And yes, these are very different)

-SOMETHING that would be a step towards professional counseling, I would be interested in specializing in helping couples who live ‘alternative’ lifestyles, as I have a lot of friends who have made these choices in their lives, and I’ve been personally affected by some myself. A lot of them come to me for help and advice with these relationships, and I think it might be rewarding to try and help people with these things for a living.

I’ll need to do all (or a very strong MOST) of this from home during the day. I don’t mind if I occasionally have to go somewhere to take a test, etc; but it needs to be VERY infrequent, so that I can continue a full time job.

I’m not interested in University of Phoenix, ITT Tech, or any other trade schools. I’m interested in real, accredited colleges, that won’t kill me on costs(I’m not made of money, and I’ve got rent, car payments, insurance, etc to take care of at the same time.)

Can someone suggest good paths to take for either of these degrees online? Again, no trade schools please!

I started at university of Phoenix for Masters (MBA) Degree about a month ago. My first class was 00 and I didn’t learn anything at all. It was just a chat and an opinion class. I passed the class of course and had some problems with eye strain and headaches from all the online reading. It just wasn’t for me. They threatened and told me about all the charges that I would acquire for dropping out unless I stayed in the program. This was a bad mistake all the way around. Does any body else have the same experience with UoP.

I’m moving from NY to FL at the end of august. I’ve taken 8 online classes at two different schools and loved it. I’ve done sitting in class at community college, I’ve done moving away from home and living at college; neither I liked. Online classes are a great option for me since it’s at my pace and since it frees up a lot of my time that I’ll need to spend working to pay for my new apartment.

I’m a psychology major and have taken 1 psychology class INSIDE the classroom and 3 OUTSIDE the classroom and learn MUCH more from OUTSIDE the classroom. I’m very close to graduating I just need 1 math class.

I’ve looked at University of Phoenix, but it’s so expensive, and I’ve heard heavily mixed reviews about it. Any other colleges offer good psychology degrees, well accredited, and will take into account the other classes I took at community college and perhaps I could just graduate with their online degree?

Any ideas on good colleges with good degrees in Psychology?
OOPS! My bad. As of right now I’m going to graduate with ‘individual studies’ and then switch my major to psychology.

I’m in the process of looking for a good, and of course accredited, online university that offers accounting. Ashworth University and AIU keep popping up. Has anyone heard much about these 2 schools?

Do you think it would be wrong if i left a community college to attend an online only college? I'm working full time right now and i was thinking about attend University of Phoenix online courses only to get my bachelor's degree in business. They say they offer a program where you can atten classes online and receive your bachelor's degree in the same amount of time. Do you think my degree would still be credible? What are your comments about this?
WOw! All these answers are great. Could not have asked for any better answers. Thanks a lot everyone. I'm sure these answers will help me decide what i should do and this will have a large impact in my career and education.

I live in Southern California and go to Mt. SAC. I am strongly considering, though, spending some time with relatives in Colorado Springs. I don't want to miss any school while I'm there. Would it be better just to take classes online for a semester? Something like University of Phoenix? Or can I go to a community college out there for a semester and still have it count toward my degree? How would I do that? Would either count? Please help.

Due to my work situation and home life, I can't attend a "traditional" college, so I have officially completed my online degree with CTU Online. I have an Associate's in Business Administration.

But I plan to go into a Bachelor's for Communications so that I will have a better chance at working as an online editor. My main goal is writing, but I also enjoy editing, and this degree will open more doors in editing and other avenues while I'm working toward my goals. I also plan to take writing workshops, editing workshops, and a few other online courses with magazines, but right now I'm focusing on my Bachelor's.

My question is for anyone who has taken a Communications program. I am researching online colleges, and want to find one that is good, and one that will send me information via mail or Internet. I like to read the course descriptions and requirements rather than having an overly giddy person chattering on about how great the school is so they can get kickbacks from the school. I know it's their job, but I'm tired of the runaround…I just want to read the stuff, not hear about it because I want to make sure I know what I'm getting myself into.

Does anyone have any experience with good schools…and schools to avoid? No Colorado Tech…love them but there's no Communications degree right now. No University of Phoenix…horrible experience there. No Kaplan or Penn Foster because I know former students who say the experience isn't worth the cost, and the textbooks are cheap and shoddy. I want a real school with real books and great professors.

My advisor at CTU is helping me, but I want to be prepared and have more ideas of what I might like better.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
donut…actually, they can. If they are a real traditional university with a virtual campus. Even state colleges are now going this way to cut student costs. CTU is widely recognized, and I know this because I did my research before attending. So…just because I went to an online college, that doesn't make me stupid, but thanks.

Hey guys, I am currently attending University of Phoenix for their online courses. I am in the BSM program and have 7 more classes to go once I finish these two courses. I am currently taking two courses at once and they are difficult. I have currently a 3.58 GPA plus my two classes i'm in right now I have B+

I am feeling pretty burnt out so far from school because they are difficult courses. I plan on going onto my MBA right afterwards as well (Few months of rest of course)

But does anybody know how to kinda get a refresher in from school? i don't want to take a break and I am only about 6 months of graduating. I can't wait! This motivation is what is steampowering me everyday. But the road is awfully tough. I just worry about getting a promotion after obtaining this degree.
