Where To Get An Accredited Online Bachelor Degree

Where To Get An Accredited Online Bachelor Degree

For a long time now, the “traditional” institutions of higher learning have had unique approaches to teaching. They have also varied by size, student composition, and faculty specialties. Similar diversity is now found among institutions who offer accredited online bachelor degrees. The providers of virtual classrooms call themselves different things.

Sometimes institutions offering an accredited online bachelor degree program will call itself a university. For example, Liberty University and Kaplan University are online schools designated as universities. Other times, the educational institution will be labeled an “Institute.” The ITT Technical Institute is one example.

ITT Technical Institute is one of several providers of online education that specialize in technical skills. De Vry is another one who also offers an accredited online bachelor degree. De Vry has two main divisions, one for students with residence in the United States, and one for students who live outside the USA.

ITT Technical Institute has a long and distinguished history of providing technical courses to students who would prefer getting their education online or at local educational centers, rather than attending a four year college and having to take a list of prescribed courses. ITT is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, where it has administrative offices, and from there it directs its accredited online bachelor degree program.

ITT is actually a “hybrid” institution, meaning students have the opportunity if they choose, to attend classes in person, as well as take online classes. Many students like that, because it gives them the chance to participate in campus life. ITT has student oriented clubs for people who are interested in technical areas like computers or radios. These can be great networking opportunities for the students in the future.

If you are looking into an accredited online bachelor degree program, be sure to do your homework. It is generally better to go with one of the big name institutions than to try an unknown school you found online. There are scams out there which will take your money and may even send you a paper certificate, but they are not licensed and registered, nor are they accredited with the appropriate institutions.

Online Education? Looking for an IT Bachelor's degree.?
I am working full time and know that the only way for me to attend college would be through an online program. I've tried researching different colleges on the internet but it seems that all reviews are biased and written by the colleges themselves. Is there any REAL list of good online colleges. They all seem to be over selling themselves with so much advertising. I want a degree that will really teach me the things I need to know to have confidence to go into the IT field and for it to be a respected degree. Any suggestions of schools? or lists of unbiased online programs? (without "sponsored links" as suggestions)

  4. I just did a web search and came up with a whole page of schools that offer this degree:

    http://www.elearners.com/online-degrees/hotel-and-hospitality-management.htm

    Online schools are not cheap. For the most part, they are private, and charge the same rates as a traditional private school. However, almost all colleges offer some types of Distance Learning or Extension Degree programs online now. A couple that were listed on this site were state schools–Univ. of Mass., and Univ. of Delaware. Contact your state college or university or look on their website and see what they have to offer. Can't hurt to look.

  5. 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!

  10. As long as the college (online or campus based) is regionally accredited it will be accepted by any potential employers or other academic institutions.
    My best recommendation would be to contact a number of colleges to find the best fit for you and your needs (tuition, schedule, career opportunities, etc.). Too often people enroll in the first school they find rather than taking the time to find the best school for them. Taking that time now could save you a lot of time, money and frustration if you choose the wrong school.
    This site has some good info on regionally accredited online degrees in criminal justice and paralegal studies (both should put you on the right track for law school) and some colleges that offer them to help expand your search:

    http://www.ecollegefinder.org/online-criminal-justice-bachelors-degrees.aspx
    http://www.ecollegefinder.org/online-paralegal-bachelors-degree.aspx

    I think you can enter your info on there for any colleges you are interested in and they will send you more info for free. Good Luck!

  13. Many colleges offer the opportunity for you to test out of specific classes, but testing out of college entirely? I'd be wary of any school that offered that.

    There are accelerated degree programs. For example, here in NY, there are several. Where are you based, or are you willing to move?

  16. It should not really matter that you get the degree on line. That is a growing trend. Many accredited schools offer a variety of degrees. Plus, some regular schools are offering online degrees as well.

  18. Definitely. I live north of Spokane, and am working on my MBA from Indiana University, and a dual Master's in Global Management from Thunderbird.

    I hate WSU (I went to UW undergrad), but as long as they are AACSB accedited, it is worthwhile. However, you should check the rankings and try and get into the best school you can. IU is top tier (top 20 across the board, top 5 / top 10 in many disciplines), and Thunderbird is #1 in global business 10 years' running.

    The key is AACSB certification. It ensures the school has the highest standards for academics, and that the online degree is just as good as the in-residence degree is.

    WSU has that certification, so it is at least top 10% of business schools in the world. There are better, so find a fit for what you want to study, your budget, and your application.

    I looked at every school on that list, compared it to all the rankings, and then went down the list until one had an online program. Duke was the best Executive Ed, but it was $120,000+ and required me to be on campus several weeks a year. Neither fit me. IU requires one week a year; The IU/TBird dual is about three and a half weeks. One at IU, one in Beijing, China, and one and a half in Arizona.

    Online degrees are no different than the in-residence degrees at AACSB schools. In fact, they have some advantages because you keep your job, you learn to manage your time alot more, and you work with teammates and classmates in a setting more like the business world – email, conference calls, and online collaborative meetings.

    So, other than the WSU thing I was kidding about (mostly), I say go for it!
