Online Colleges?
Congratulations on thinking about furthering your education, you won't regret it.





The state universities and community colleges will be the best and least expensive way to further your education online. Usually degrees obtained online from state universities and colleges will be no different than a degree granted to a student sitting in class. You probably won't get a scholarship, but financial aid is possible.





Stay away from the for-profits because of high cost. Some will be reasonable, but most, like University of Phoenix, overcharge.





If you are just starting your college education or have less than 60 semester credit hours, try your local community college first. They may have an online AA degree program. If they don't, try other community colleges in your state.





Once you have an AA degree, you can enroll in an online bachelor's degree completion program at one of the state universities. Many state universities now have online degrees. The following are some websites to get you started.

Finally, when you choose a school, make sure it is at least regionally accredited. You can check accreditation at http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/search.a... You can learn more about accreditation at http://www.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/i...





Finally, there are a couple of forums online with members who have obtained their degrees online. Some have gone pretty far with their online degrees. The forums are free to join but you can read the forum without joining. You just won't be able to post. http://forums.degreeinfo.com and http://www.instantcertonline.com/forums





Good luck
Reply:the online college i am starting in is South University, out of GA. it is fully accreditated which you can see on their website. they also have on campus classes. they offer to ger associates, bachelors, and masters online but only on certain courses. all others are only available at their campus. but they have more campuses. just check out website, lots of info there. i was able to use federal pell grant and apply for student loans as well. they have been extremely helpful to me.
Reply:Most online colleges are not accredited, and therefore their credits will not transfer to any other college, or any degree you receive from them is bogus. I only know of one real online college, the University of Phoenix Online, and they have a really limited choice of classes.


To get a college degree takes time and devotion. You either have it or you don't, which is sounds like you don't.
