Where online are good accreddited colleges??


Question:
I am a mom who works so now I want to go to college but I want to do it online. Does anyone know of accreddited colleges online??

Answer:
There are many, many online business programs out there.

1st of all, any program you enter should be regionally accredited. Regional accreditation shows that the school has passed a review process that will help ensure that your credits will transfer to other schools and that you are eligible to sit for licensing exams such as the CPA, CMA, etc.

Regional accreditation will also qualify for military and governmental guidelines. Be sure to check here before you enroll: http://www.chea.org/search/

Regionally accredited Online degrees are the same accreditation as other schools. However, online schools lack the prestige or name recognition of traditional on ground schools. For alot of military people and working adults, online degrees are the only option.

As far as choices, here are just some to looking to:

DeVry University www.devry.edu
Franklin University www.franklin.edu
Kaplan University www.kaplan.edu
Davenport University Online

I would avoid University of Phoenix due to the extremely high cost. I would also avoid the classesusa website listed above, it has many unacrredited and nationally accredited universities listed.
Most regular universities offer classes online. The problem is, as I understand it, most online programs have only a limited amount of degree options to choose from. Also, I've heard a lot of complaints about the quality of the courses...although they are probably getting better. Check out the following link providing info on various programs, also see the article about moms and online degree. Glad to hear that you're persuing your education, good luck!
Swimbikeron gives good advice. I just wanted to add a few more options for you.

Fort Hays State University - http://www.fhsu.edu/virtualcollege...
Peru State College - http://www.peru.edu/offuttafb/degreeprog...
University of Wyoming - http://uwadmnweb.uwyo.edu/uw/outreach/...

I don't know in which state you reside, but if you are in Florida, the Florida distance learn website has a list of programs available. http://www.distancelearn.org/mainpage.cf...

If you really feel like paying $400 per credit hour, at least don't go to Univ. of Phoenix, you can get an online degree from Penn State for the same amount. http://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/...

Good luck
