There's a great site with just about everything one would need to know about an MBA, along with links to several universities.

Good luck.

He does not need another degree. He already has a state issued credential – all he needs is another authorization. See your states website – it usually only involves a few classes for what is called a supplemental authorization.

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.

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!

“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 http://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 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!

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.

But are online degrees really legit? Do companies really take them seriously?
