If you take classes online, will your degree be worth anything?
Question:
Answer:
Yes, they are worth something...as long as it's an accredited college.
As long as they are accredited. And that means all of your classes can also transfer to another college if later on you decide to pursue another degree. Good luck, i'm thinking of doing the same thing next year.
FAFSA isn't the accrediting agency. But, the school's ability to use Title IV funding is usually a good sign. A school has to be accreditated to be able to utilize federal funding.
Online degrees are a great way to be able to go back to school. Of course everybody has their opinion of them, be sure to do your own research. Traditional scholars usually put up their noses and don't give them much credit. In order to be accredited and recognized by the Department of Education (FAFSA) lots of research is done. So, if it is a good choice for you, go for it! Many major universities offer online classes/degrees.
good luck!
