Online University Success?


Question:
Has anyone had any success after obtaining a degree from an online college? If so please discuss. Thanks!!

Answer:
An accredited degree will open many doors for you, if they are regionally accredited. Some are not and are academically meaningless such as Almeda, Kennedy Western, Warrnen National.

To gain regional accreditation, these programs have to have "highly qualified" faculty, primarilly with doctorates, which they do. There degrees will qualify you for employment for any organization with a competent HR department.
You can get a degree from an online college, but it's not worth spit if the institution exists only online. Those "colleges" are not accredited, meaning they do not teach the material that ordinary colleges and universities do. As a result, your new degree won't help you get a job.

Instead, look into online coursework at a college which has a physical campus with full-time students and faculty.
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
