I am 27 and definitely going back to college but I think I could work more and be able to time manage online college because I could set my schedule. How are these degrees viewed among employers verse a university you actually attend? I am thinking of going for an education degree. Thank you.

As long as the college you attend is regionally accredited any degree you earn should be accepted by potential employers or other academic institutions. In fact nowadays more and more colleges are offering online programs to complement their campus programs as they realize the benefits online programs provide students and the schools themselves. Most of these colleges do not differentiate between a degree earned online or on campus.

My biggest recommendation would be to contact a number of colleges to find the best fit for you and your needs (schedule, tuition, career plans, professor interaction). I would also be sure to ask the schools directly about their accreditation and if they offer any assistance in finding their graduates jobs.

This site has some good information on regionally accredited education degrees and some colleges to help begin/expand your search:

If you ask 100 general people what they think of Capella University, about 98 will answer with "who?", one will have a favorable impression, and one will have an unfavorable impression. (not a scientifically based comment, but you get the idea)

Those "in the know" are fully aware of who and what Capella University is and asking the question here implies that you question the value and/or utility of that degree. If that is the case then you should explore another option.

There are plenty of options out there and in the final analysis, you have to be happy with your choice. It matters very little in your life what I think of Capella; it may matter what prospective employers think.

No matter where you ask though – there will always be some people that think that College X is the only "real" college in the world or that any college below Tier Y isn’t worth the effort.

You should attend the very best college that you can. If that’s Capella then the degree you get from there will be more than the degree you don’t get from anywhere.

I want to be able to earn an Associates Degree in Arts AND Sciences online as quickly as my work schedule will allow. I work around 55-60 hours a week painting houses and apartment complexes, so i’m searching for an online college/university that has accelerated courses or work studies to make my studying habits & work pace acceptable…with out a huge amount of money being thrown out in the process. I don’t like wasting my time so if there’s an accelerated online college out there where I could work as fast or as much as I am able to in my free time, I’d love to get more information about it as soon as possible.

I would regard online universities as the absolute last resort for someone seeking higher education.

The quality of education these programs offer is minimal – there is simply no substitute for the kind of dynamic interactions and discussions that commonly occur in face-to-face college courses. Also, the quality of educator is significantly less at online universities – the best faculty choose to teach at real colleges and universities. Both the pay and work environments are far superior to online universities. So, for great classes from great instructors, go to a real college or university.

Also, because of the minimal training they offer, employers and graduate institutions place little value in degrees earned from online programs. Many of these programs lack even basic accreditation for the degree programs they offer.

Bottom line – you will receive little if any personal or professional benefit from online universities relative to what you could have received from a real college or university.

I keep getting all these e-mails for an on-line associates degree for medical transcription and other careers in the healthcare field, I have been tempted to do it but I wanted to know how employers view an online education versus going to the tech/trade school, is the degree online just as valid

“My advice is to avoid online educators: these largely sign up people with low self-esteem, or those desperate for qualifications, and lacking knowledge of educational options.”

Wow, I’ve seen a lot of clueless people, but this post takes the cake.

I teach onground for a college and also online courses. People that take online courses are usually in the military, working 45+ hours, have familiies, and / or don’t have a college nearby that offers the courses they need. They are much more motivated than the traditional students I have onground, and generally score higher in comparable courses.

First thing that you need to do is find out if the college is regionally accredited, you can check at www.chea.org. This means they have been reviewed by an independent third party, so that you can rely on their program.

For something like medical transcribing, you’ll have no problem having your degree accepted, we have no problem with placement. Keep in mind, a degree is just one component of the hiring process.

I’m going to be attending college soon, but i really want to know if it’s worth it to leave state or even my house to gain my education.

As of right now, I’m still in high school, I’m a good student, an honors student, but one who may be limited by money. I have only heard of people obtaining an online degree or education in order to farther their education, not actually obtain one. I was told to find information about attending or learning college online.

Can anyone help me out?

SOME–NOT ALL– of the "on-line" or "at home" colleges or degrees are NOT accredited, recognized or accepted at other schools and colleges. So you may learn something and even be able to get a job using these methods. But if you ever plan on going father er with your education they would do you no good. You would have to start all over again. Also since SOME of these colleges have no standards to meet their level is below the normal academic standards.

So be sure if you use this method you check out the history, academic standard, and transfer of credit availability. And don’t take that schools word on it, check them out with other schools and see if their credits transfer. I went to a college who told me their credits would transfer to any regular college, only to find out later that they won’t. So check it out well, and carefully. There are some very good trade and on-line schools. Just be very sure to do your homework first.

Good luck.

I am in the military, so that’s why I decided on an onling college. This college is accredited. I have a BA in Anthropology-Sociology, and I am going to Capella and working toward a MS in Mental Health Counseling, and then a Phd in counseling psychology. It is a very intense program, and I will also need to work at an internship/practicum for 4,100 hours, as well as do a dissertation. I will also be a licensed counselor at the completion of my MS. But, I really want to teach at a University, even if it is a community college or some sort of branch. Could I still do this, even though the college is online?

Many universities will not take you seriously.

Technically, there is nothing stopping a university from hiring you if you have a PhD from an accredited university. However the truth is that the quality of your PhD is a huge factor in hiring professors. Most universities will not even look at you.

There are two alternatives to this. One is to transfer to a more prestigious university. The other is to publish your research in the top journals. If you can get a few papers published in the top journals, they won’t care if you got your degree from a Crackerjack Box (which is only a slight step down from an on-line university).

I’m a senior in high school and most likely I’ll go to college to get my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. In YOUR opinion, do you think it’s a good idea to go to college for this type of degree online? After 13 years of school, I’m getting tired of the whole school environment. Maybe in the future, I’ll feel differently but I’m thinking of doing it online.

I think that it really depends on the type of person. If you feel that you would thrive in an online learning environment rather than a tradition university, you should absolutely go for it. Advantages are definitely the flexibility and cost. However, I’m not sure how that works with student teaching and the like, so you should definitely fully research that aspect of it.

Hi all,
I have a plan to do MBA from an online college, but before taking admission I want to know about the advantages of distance learning education so I can see if it’s best for me. I’ve never done it before and it will be a major decision in my life. Please help if you have any information on this. Thanks for your help.

a) make sure the college is accredited. Places that are ONLY or MOSTLY online usually have accredation problems and you may not be able to do anything with the degree you get. Ask your advisor if your program is fully accredited with the state of (wherever you live.) The best way to make sure your degree is worth something is to check with people who already have the degree you want or check with the people who will be hiring you if it is wise to seek a degree from the place you’re enrolled in.

b) I am a full time college student and have take about 1/3 of my classes online. If you are a hard worker and you are self motivated, they are great! Just keep track of the course schedule and NEVER procrastinate. Some assignments will look like they won’t take a long time, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

c) the best thing about online classes is that you don’t have to go to class and you can do all of you work in your PJs at 2am if you want. That’s what I normally do

GOOD LUCK!
