I currently live in Florida, and am Moving to Colorado in December 08, I am looking to start College again as soon as possible, but i don’t know much about online colleges and how the accrediation works and IF i get a degree from an online college if an empolyer would respect the degree. if anyone could help me find information or give me advice, i’d appreciate it.

Employers have generally started considering degrees earned via online education on the same footing as traditional degrees, so you need not worry whether your degree would be accepted in the job market or not. Apart from that, the degree you are looking out for is being offered by several accredited and well-reputed online colleges such as Kaplan University, Utica College, Rasmussen College etc. You can look up a list of such affordable and accredited online colleges and universities at http://www.onlineedublog.com/

Look them up, read their reviews and then decide where you want to enroll! Good luck!

I am a current high school junior with a 34 ACT and 2250 SAT. I am looking for selective engineering schools in the city. My current list includes:

Carnegie Mellon (Pittsburgh)
Cooper Union (NYC)
Johns Hopkins (Baltimore)
UC Berkeley (Berkeley/San Francisco)
UCLA/USC (Los Angeles)

Great job on your standardized tests, by the way. Carnegie Mellon is the best engineering school on the list, maybe I'm biased because I'm a student at CMU but I can tell you that the engineering students here are very intelligent and have no problem getting a job. Best of luck!

I’d like to take classes that will transfer to my school as speech and business accounting. What online colleges has the cheapest, accredited individual classes?

Online courses tend to vary in price, so we could say they are more expensive, but that is relative. Of course they are more expensive that a community college, but less expensive than Harvard. The price range varies.

Suggestions for selecting online schools
The key is to make sure the college/university is accredited. I have three basic recommendations for everyone looking into online/distance education. They all have to do with exploring; after all, you have to defend your assets.

1. Make certain that you have triple checked their accreditation. First, they tell you what it is, then you go to that accrediting body’s website (not through the link provided by the school), and thirdly you would visit the department of education to see what they have to say. Do your diligent research into the institutions once you have narrowed down to a couple. You can look at the Better Business Bureau for more information on the college.

2. You must have extreme self motivation and be able to teach yourself per say. This means that you will not have someone telling you verbally, so it is up to you to get the information from the course room, text, and other resources. The best way to look at it is like a guided independent study course.

3. Review your goals, personal and professional. Make sure that the school that you are going to offers the programs that match your goals. Do not settle. There are many programs that are similar, but you have to make the ultimate decision. Do not let it be based on finances and length of program, but the fact that when you are finished or near finished you will be able to assume your proper place in the career field sought.

You should market yourself and not the degree or university. There are many traditional universities offering degrees that can be earned through online methods. Distance Learning Alliance has a list of these traditional online schools. Look at that if you are truly concerned with the name of the school. Good luck on your search!

I am looking for the best MBA outside the U.S.A. that is equal (so-to-speak) to a Regionally Accredited MBA in the U.S.A. and that has the following characteristics:

1. Is completely online/distance-learning; that is, can be completed without ever physically going to the institute.

2. Whose total cost (of the program) includes textbooks; and there is no such "cost" for taking exams. In other words, a MBA that doesn't have any other "extra" cost besides the program cost and graduation cost(s).

3. Whose total cost isn't over-priced like the MBAs in the U.S.A. ; that is, whose total cost is affordable to just about anyone.

4. Whose MBA is regarded respectively, in general; that is, like I had said before, a MBA that is as respectable as a U.S.A. Regionally Accredited MBA. Preferably, accredited by AACSB.

Look, I know what I am asking for is either super difficult or impossible to find… But at least, close to the above requirements. I would greatly appreciate any help!

That's a tough one. What you don't mention is where you plan on working. If you plan on working in the US, I think you can find a regionally accredited MBA in the US that meets your criteria, such as the University of Illinois or Penn State, which are completely online.

Otherwise, you will have to have an equivalency from the AACRAO or a similiar organization to prove to your US employer that it is equivalent to a US regionally accredited degree.

US accreditation is confusing to alot of people, like the other poster. AACSB is not a national accreditor (which is a lower level of institutional accreditation), but rather a programmatic accreditor that accredits a very small number of MBA programs (<5%). It's a nice to have, but by no means a need to have.

Sounds like a complex question but this is what it boils down to. I am in high school and I'm trying to figure out what i want to major in during college. I think that I am ultimately going to go into business/finance but my parents tell me that an undergraduate degree in business will not distinguish me from other students and would rather that I major in engineering. I am definitely going to graduate school so i was wondering if i got an undergraduate degree in engineering, would it improve my chances of getting into an elite business school (assuming i got all A's) or would that be better if i got my degree in business. I am good in both subjects, am currently first in my high school class and would eventually like to get an MBA from a highly thought of school like Wharton or Harvard (just examples). If anyone has some advice for me i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

i think you are putting the carriage in front of the horses. You first have to find a major/field that you are passionate about, then decide if grad school is for you.
As for grad school in general, they have alot of pre-requisites classes from the undergrad degree to get enrolled. Plus the graduate exam to get in is going to be based on the the undergrad material for that field.
For example, to get into medical school, you have to take a certain amount of science classes in math, biology, and chemistry. The MCAT, which is the graduate entrance exam, is based on these courses. So someone with a different background, engineering, business or whatnot is going to be lost.
A compromise might be to go dual majored.
