Are online college courses creditable?


Question:
I am a stay at home mom with a 2 yr old and a 7 month old and i am interested in going to college but my husband works long hours and we have no sitter available. I want to futher my education so my kids can have a better role model and upbringing. If i enrolled in online classes would employers choose university grads over me? Or would I have the same career oppurtunities as them?

Answer:
It is getting more creditable as time moves on regarding on-line education - but at the present it is not the same as actually attending an university.

Good Luck!
if you do distance learning at an accredited university your degree is the same as if you attended "on campus'' so your degree would not reflect the fact that you did distance learning. I would recomend calling, or going to the website of, a local public university. Chances are great they have a distance learning program.
Just be careful, not all these adds you see are accredited schools, it is better to stick with a university you trust, not one you see on late night infromercials *sp*
depending on the college and site. nowadays its more credible than before.
Sure, why not. Try it.
There can be alot said abt all other channels of education. But the reality of it all is that only mainstream colleges and Uni counts. The last you should consider is to get a degree online. Think abt it... to be effective u need to activate all senses. But couping yrself up behind the computer tells me u are introverted and work best in Silos. U may argue abt yr situation at home but that is how others will see u. So I rather u read up more abt life and pick up a skill like cooking art or something if u really want to be a role model to yr kids. Having a degree or some higher education does not equate to better relationships with yr kids. Kids need a lot of time and attention, so as long as u who knows the right moral values can spend time with them, they will find confidence and security in u and will take on yr character and personality and soon u will be super mama!
Any education is really useful in increasing your knowledge and helping you to earn more money in your future career. As long as a school is accredited, employers will accept your degree the same as one that came from a school down the street.

Best of luck!
