Online colleges, which ones are reconized?
Question:
Answer:
There are too many to answer this question effectively. The best thing to do is to get in touch with the admissions office of the school you want to take courses from, and ask them about their accreditation status, and if their accrediting association is recognized by the US Department of Education...or the local Education Department where you are. (Different countries have different accrediting procedures.)
Some of the more recognizable names are University of Phoenix and Pace. Although, if you are going to online route, you are better off taking a program through a traditional school (online). For example, Penn State University offers many bachelors and masters programs fully online through their World Campus, and the credentialing is no different than going to the regular campus. A Penn State degree is a Penn State degree. Check others schools that may be of interest to you -- many are offering full programs online these days. Much better than going through a fully online institution, because they are not quite recognized yet in the job market as being competitive. Good luck.
