What reputable colleges/universities offer online undergraduate degrees?


Question:
I am currently working full-time and would like to earn my undergraduate degree online from a reputable institution. My goal is to eventually take a break from work and relocate in order to get my master's/doctorate from an Ivy League/Top 10 school. Would it be feasible for me to get into one of these schools with an online degree? Can anyone recommend some good schools that offer online degrees that would look good when I apply for graduate school?

Answer:
These days, many quite reputable private and state colleges offer courses and even degrees online. They call it "distance education."

At the link below, you will find distance education programs offered through absolutely respectable and fully accredited universities like the University of Maryland, Penn State University, Indiana University, Iowa State University, New York University, University of California at Davis, and even Columbia University, Stanford University, and Cornell University.

However, I would still advise you to be careful. Many graduate programs are still extremely skeptical of online education. Contact the particular graduate programs in which you are interested, and make sure they would look kindly upon coursework taken online.

Best wishes to you.

It's difficult to find undergraduate degrees from traditional schools. Many of them offer graduate degrees, but they seem to want you to experience the univeristy.

You could try the University of Phoenix, but many graduate schools don't recognize some of their courses.
You don't say what you wish to major in, so that makes it difficult to narrow down the field for you. There are several reputable guides to distance learning programs. John Bear's Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning was the pioneer in distance learning guides. Since then, the old stand-bys of college guides have chimed in with their own distance learning guides, such as Peterson's Guide to Distance Learning Programs and Barron's Guide to Distance Learning.

Have you considered Harvard Extension School's http://www.extension.harvard.edu... Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree?
