The only classes that I would consider taking from online are from the local community college and/or the state-public university. (A private, reputable university is another option, though, it's usually more pricey and with select admissions.)
Please forgo those for-profit schools, such as devry, U of P, strayer, argosy, kaplan, american public university, colorado tech, art institute, walden, and others. Their course credits usually do NOT transfer to other schools, even if the for-profit school is regionally accredited. Future employers may *not* view coursework and/or a degree from a for-profit school as credible either.
Perhaps you may also consider your career goals upon having earned a bachelor's degree, which may also be referred to as a "college degree." For those interested in providing counseling or therapy, a master's degree, such as in counseling, social work or psychology is usually necessary. A licensed psychologist usually has a doctorate (PhD or PsyD), especially for a clinical psychologist, counseling psychologist, and in some U.S. states, a school psychologist.
It's my understanding that someone with a bachelor's degree in psychology may possibly get a job as a psychiatric technician or mental health technician. However, those jobs are usually with a great deal of stress and low pay.
Someone with a bachelor's degree in psychology may may possibly qualify for a job as "human resources assistant," however, there are *not* supposed to be too many such job positions. It's my understanding that if cut backs are being put forth, HR staff may be one of the first to be laid off. For anyone interested in possibly working in HR, the company shrm (pronounced "sherm") has more general info.
Just an fyi that the social work or counseling (and/or nursing) field is supposed to have a high burn-out rate.
