I have my AA degree and am thinking about going to an online college to get my Bachelor degree in Journalism,?
Question:
Answer:
It is a very good idea! online classes are a little different though. You have to learn to apply some self discipline and dedicate a place and time each day for classes. The MOST IMPORTANT thing for you to do is to verify that the school that you choose and the degree program that you pursue are ACCREDITED! There are many online schools out there who offer degrees that are worthless, yet they cost a LOT of money. Pick a legitimate university that has a campus that you can visit and is accredited by the state that it is in. A good indication is if their website ends with .edu. If it is a .com site, it is most likely not accredited. Eastern New Mexico University (enmu.edu) has many good accredited degree programs at a reasonable tuition.
Online University's do tend to be more expensive then traditional colleges...I know University of Pheonix is more expensive then my private University. I was looking into taking a few classes there to get some of my requirements finished so I could take the winter off my college (I didn't want to subject my children to the early morning drive)
If I were you I would look into traditional colleges that offer online classes, the degree you earn will not show that you recieved it by taking classes online and a traditional college degree looks better then an online degree to most employers.
