How Can You Spot a Fake Online Bachelor Degree?
As the demand for the online Bachelor degree rises, so do the number of fake colleges and universities. Some actually offer diplomas for sale to potential customers through bulk emails. However, many take advantage of innocent and unsuspecting students by offering lower than normal tuition fees, credit for life experiences, no tests, and an easy road to that coveted diploma. If it sounds too good to be true, it generally is the case.

So, how do prospective students determine whether an online college is accredited or only offering bogus online Bachelor degrees? Especially for International students, it can be very difficult to determine a school’s validity. In most cases it is impossible for distance learners to visit the campus, so the website is the only point of contact before making the choice and enrolling, which makes it hard to determine credibility.
One of the qualifying factors that can be utilized by students to make correct enrolment decisions is by determining the type of college accreditation that has been received by their college of consideration. If the college vaguely states itself as having “nationwide or worldwide accreditation” without stating specifically which regional accreditation body it is accredited with, then most likely this college does not possess legitimate accreditation.
The six accreditation agencies given the authority to grant college and university accreditation are entrusted with governing the institutions within their geographical section of the United States as follows: New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), North Central Association of Schools and Colleges (NCA), Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA), Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SACS), Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (NWCCU). With specific states for each agency, it is easier to check whether an online learning facility is accredited and registered.
Another tell-tale sign of bogus online bachelor degrees offered is when the university advertises itself through mass-mailing email featuring university degrees for sale. Many bogus distance learning institutions prey on people who are desperate for a degree, but don’t have the time and money to go for proper education. That is why these colleges boast of degrees without any examinations, classes, studying or even waiting. There are even websites that offer online bachelor degrees for just a few hundred dollars which can be ordered and received within 7 days. Furthermore, some of them also have dubious accrediting links, stating accreditation from agencies which are not any one of the six listed above. Additionally, they offer fixed prices for their Master’s, Bachelor’s, and even Doctorate Degrees. Their justification for awarding degrees will be for giving credit to life experiences such as any type of work experience, any educational background, any workshops or community services attended as well as travel experience, hobbies and even on the number of books that a person has read!
In short, because of the influx of fake degrees, it leaves the employers worried about the legitimacy of online Bachelor Degrees. Thus to avert these fears and ensure you get a job with an online degree, it is imperative to carefully select a college that possesses all the support and resources to provide quality education approved by the U.S. Department of Education, and granted accreditation through one of the 6 designated agencies with the authority to award proper accreditation to legit institutions.

Help answer the question about online education bachelor degree
Is the University of Massachusetts – Lowell continuing education online BA degree accredited regionally? Good?I might be interested in it, but I don't want one of those bogus "degree mill" degrees. I'm already in college at a four year school, but online is convenient for me. UML looked good, but I'm unsure if this degree is for real, and if employers would be able to tell if it is an "online degree". By the way the degree is for I.T. and it is listed as a bachelors degree on their site. thx.

HOLY CRAP! Comparing this to the original picture, they’re identical!
véiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, que difuu
American universities don't generally offer it. To get an education degree, you have to do things like practicums and student teaching, and that requires actually being at the university.
You could try taking a few of your general education courses online to get started and then register at a regular university to finish your degree.
Awesome work Williamsshamir
Great video.
Much love Kat
I see nothing wrong with taking a few courses on-line. However, I've heard that on-line classes can actually end up being more work than face-to-face classes. You have a lot more reading to do (e-mails, on-line chats, etc.)
The biggest problem I see with doing the entire program on-line is that most teacher education programs require several hours of "field experience," which involves actually spending time in classrooms, doing observations, and even teaching mini lessons.
She may want to investigate local colleges and see when their courses are offered. Some cater to students who are already working and offer courses in the evenings.
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.
awesome, keep up the good work!
I would look into the University of Phoenix. They have an Education AA program, so I would presume that they have a Bachelor's program for it as well.
Good luck!
A-W-E-S-O-M-E your works is very awesome! cool!!!! very good
oh my dear Lord.. i almost came in my pants D=
No, not yet.
There are some programs out there with good teacher ed. online but nothing that would get you the K-12 music certificate.
It will probably become an option in the next couple years, Boston, East Carolina, U Hawaii Manoa, South Florida, Austin Peay have master's in MuEd online and Boston has their DMus in MuEd online.
You could do a Bachelor of Music via one of the assessment colleges (Excelsior, Thomas Edison State, or Charter Oak) and then do an alternate route to certification but getting the major classes online is a real challenge.
For now, undergrad MuEd is a head to campus degree. Good luck.
Add: How to do methods and applied online. You don't really do them "online" you do them via distance learning contract. You find a teacher locally who your college finds qualified and that teacher conducts your applied and reports to the college.
For the student teaching and internships it's the same deal. You make arrangements at a school locally and are supervised there. They report to your school.
wich program he is for doing this ? beside a tablet ofc
if u apply to a job. it will be harder for u to get it with taht degree..

I believe Phoenix Online does. And I am pretty sure you would still do practicum work and student teaching. I just did my masters through Walden online and loved it. It was very convenient and I learned a lot. Online schools are really making their way up there these days!
