Online Bachelor's Degree Question?
If you have any experience with getting a degree online, I'd be interested in hearing it. I'm currently looking at that possibility, and am overwhelmed by the number of schools, and what they offer. I'd like a degree in Business Management.
What school did you use? Is it only online, or did you have to go to a bricks and mortar location for some things? Did you really learn as much as you would in a regular classroom? Would you recommend this track to someone else?
I am internet-savvy, work a full-time job, and have kids who need to be my focus. I need flexibility, an accredited, recognized degree, and the freedom to work at my own pace (usually quicker than the average).
Thanks in advance for your responses!
Blessings,
Kate

I did not get my degrees on-line; However, I have some colleagues who got their PhD on-line. Choose a University that is accredited, and you should be fine.
One friend got his through University of Phoenix and he feels he got a good education, and employers accepted it as a legitimate degree.

Get a degree from an accredited university, ideally start out as a resident student taking part time classes to build up study skills. I would avoid pure online universities, most are just diploma mills with little respect in the job market. Suggestion: Try to take a couple of school of education classes while you still in the bachelors in English program, several states will grant you a temporary teaching license based on a Bachelors + 2 education classes. Warning: All the states I am aware of require you pass two praxis exams to get a license, so just getting a diploma is not enough.

Kate if what you are aiming for is a license or specialty certification it really doesn't matter so long as you obtain said license or certification.
Other than that what would you need a degree for? Is it so you can say you have one or is your aim that of getting into a corporate environment because if you already have your own business what you perhaps could use is some additional specialized skills as opposed to diplomas.
