Comment on Is an online degree accepted in other universities ? by Tom J

As long as the college (online or campus based) is regionally accredited, any degree you earn should be accepted by any potential employers or other academic institutions.
My best recommendation would be to contact a number of colleges to find the best fit for you and your needs (tuition, schedule, career opportunities, etc.). Too often people enroll in the first school they find rather than taking the time to find the best school for them. Taking that time now could save you a lot of time, money and frustration if you choose the wrong school.
This site has some good info on regionally accredited online degrees and some colleges that offer them to help expand your search:

I think you can enter your info on there for any colleges you are interested in and they will send you more info for free. Good Luck!

Comment on Are Online degrees just as good as regular colleges? What are the best Online Schools to obtain a degree? by Tom J

As long as any college you earn your degree from is regionally accredited your degree would be recognized by potential employers and other academic institutions. That having been said not all online colleges are viewed the same (just as not all campus based colleges are viewed the same) by potential employers. Even within the same college the business school might have a better reputation than say the nursing school or vice versa.
It is difficult to say what school is the best (either online or campus) as there are a number of factors that need to be considered. What is more important is finding the best college for you. My biggest recommendation would be to contact a number schools to find the best fit for you and your needs (tuition, schedule, career services, employment opportunities, etc.).
This site has some good information on accredited online degree programs and a wide variety of colleges that offer them:

Good Luck!

Comment on Will an online degree combined with traditional college diploma have value? by sesame

LOL why spend three years of your time on that garbage? Just go to a Uni/College like everyone else instead of being all weird and trying to cut corners.

Part of what they look for in graduates is social skills, independence, and the university experience all in. You may or may not, do academically equivalent work, but there is nobody monitoring your progress in the same way.

I doubt much will make it more respectable, you are clutching at straws.

Good lord, stay away from U of Phoenix, and other "for profit" online colleges! You should only consider reputable state or private brick and mortar universities with distance education programs. Degrees from "online universities" are not taken seriously. (Recent articles from the New York Times and the Chronicle of Higher Education — or speaking with any admissions officer from a REAL college, or any human resources professional –will confirm this.)

Start by looking at the distance education offerings from your own state university. If they do not offer the classes you desire, then look at others. Penn State and University of Maryland come to mind. And state universities will be less expensive than any for-profit online program.

The links below will give you a place to begin.

Finally, you need to know that your earned credits from years ago have almost certainly not "expired." You should be able to transfer some of these credits in toward your new program.

Best wishes to you!

Let me begin by offering this warning–BE VERY CAREFUL!! Yes, there are some online colleges that are legitimate; and there are others that are nothing more than degree mills. It is very important to recognize that all of these colleges are private institutions and are usually for-profit. That makes a huge difference when it comes time to validate your degree to either your employer or to another college.

There are several factors that you must consider. First, what exactly do you want to accomplish with your degree. If the answer is personal satisfaction or perhaps a raise or promotion at work, then online may be the way to go. However, if you are looking to advance yourself with a master’s or doctorate degree, like I am doing, then online may not be a viable route. For example, there are at least three online law schools–none of which are accredited by the American Bar Association. Without ABA accreditation, you cannot practice in Florida, which is where I live. So, online is not a viable option for me.

Second are the cost considerations. Online schools are typically outrageously expensive. And there is no benefit to paying that additional fee.

If you are interested in obtaining your degree online, start with your state university. Most universities are facing a funding crisis that prohibits them from building additional classrooms. As a result, many have turned to online versions of their classes. They carry full college credit (make sure that they are regionally accredited) and the cost involved are quite reasonable–in some cases as low as $240 per credit hour. And they all offer financial aid that is almost 100% guaranteed (no felony drug convictions and must be registered for Selective Service if a male).

I would try this route first and see if it will allow you to achieve your goals. Good luck!!

It depends on where you get the degree …some go through a regular college and you get a degree from that college and it’s not any different. If it’s from an on line college then you get a degree from say Phoenix On line and that’s what the degree says and most everyone knows that’s an on line college. You should check your local colleges and see what is offered. Some classes are different ..all on line the final exams and everything on line but other classes may expect you to come in for proctored exams. Good luck anyway!! I’m taking an on line course and it’s really hard but it’s a math class so that would be… I’ve taken other classes on line and through video and they are not too bad if you are disciplined to study.

The job market is saturated with people with bachelors degrees. Too many of them struggle to stand out from the crowd, or dont have enough expertise for the higher jobs. An MBA tends to allow you to get to these jobs and allows you to stand out from the crowd.

Comment on Why would a government employee study and get an MBA degree? by Cochise

Because that employee is probably going to be an agency head some day – an MBA is an enormous credential in government.
