Which of these 2 is a better online college?
Question:
Answer:
From looking at their websites it is hard to tell, but Penn Foster indicates accreditation on their site and Herkimer does not - at least I couldn't find it on the Herkimer site. Hopefully someone who is familiar with both will respond to your question.
Herkimer County has the advantage of being a state-supported community college, and therefore surely carries traditional accreditation. Penn Foster has an accreditation, but not the same type.
You'll have more ability to transfer your credits from Herkimer County if you decide to go to a different school later, and I think that degree will be more marketable for now, since Herkimer also has traditional classes. Schools like Penn Foster that are exclusively online are not yet accepted by everyone, and that's why Herkimer County will be better for you today.
