Already have my associates but would like bachelors in communications, not sure of the best/ online site to use for an acreditted degree.

i just registered for Kaplan University. If you have any question syou should goive them a call they are excellent at answering whatever you need them to.

I was trying to see which would be better before i actually decided what i wanted to do, since i have a son, i decided not to stay on campus but is still planning to attend college. i was also wondering if anyone knew of some great career choices just something i should think about before actually going.

you need to explore the on line educational site to gain knowledge about the on line collage courses i know one of the educational site which can help you to fined the on line collage for graduation which is http://www.sgpak.com

Next semester, I will have three online classes. I’m not sure at all what kind of components this has, it just says “online programs and activities, no software required”.

Is it possible that any kind of online component will have problems running in an OS other than Windows?
It’s not much of a problem, my hard drive is partitioned (5% Windows XP, in case of problem). But I’m wondering.

My guess it will work, but it all depends on what technology the web site uses. They may say software required, but it still may need a browser plug-in to work. If the online class uses normal web code, Flash, or Java you will be fine. If it uses Silver Light, ActiveX, or another Microsoft technology then you will have issues, but still you may still have options. There is Internet Explorer for Linux (IEs4Linux) that can run alot stuff meant for only Windows.

I have to take a U.S. History or Government class online and I'm not sure what to expect. Do you still have to buy a book? What kind of assignments are there? Is it easier than taking a regular class? Harder? Cheaper? I would like to hear from people with experience, not just guesses!

I just took a US history class online last semester. It was a lot of work. I had to check in online and complete 5 to 8 "discussions", which were really in depth critical thinking questions on a message board, I had to complete this, listen to an hour long lecture weekly and submit the weekly discussions. We had to read a ton, and the tests were very hard, essay style. We read an autobiography and wrote 5 page research papers on them.

I spent about 5-10 hours a week on the one class, just listening to lectures and engaging in discussions. A lot of people failed. Online classes are hard work. I got an A, but it was NOT an easy A. I am taking Online Courses at a State University, and I also take in class courses at that same school.

I like it because I work better independently, but the classes require more work in my opinion. I learned a lot and I save gas money.

It came out about the same price, I had to buy the books, and pay tuition, plus an online tuition charge.

I am not sure how to check out the online college to see if it is some kind of scam.

Any institution you are considering should be regionally accredited. Regional accreditation is the same for online or onground courses.

You can check for the school here:

Do not go to the university website, their claims of accreditation can be false or misrepresented. Verify in through the 3rd party. It should be accredited by one of the 6 regionals.

I am interested in going back to school online for a degree in something computer related, and all the information is giving me a headache! Why does each school have a different title for similiar programs? I would like to know what job titles I could obtain with the different degrees offered. ( Don't want to spend a bunch of money to be limited to one job.) Any advice, resources, or links would be helpful. Thanks.

John Bear, a leading distance education expert, co-authors a couple of books, _Bears' Guide to the Best Computer Degrees by Distance Learning_ and _Get Your IT Degree and Succeed_, which both have good descriptions of the differences between various computer-related degree titles as well as having in-depth descriptions of various online opportunities for computer degrees. Hope this helps
