Online Colleges?

I am trying to complete my degree in business Management. I have completed total 40 college credits. I wanted to go back as part time student, but would like to complete in short term. Are online colleges better or should I go to regular 4 years college.

Online Colleges?
I think Emerson College in Minneapolis is the only on-line school with a decent reputation.





I would think it much better to find a university with a physical presence that offers distance education. It's usually tougher to do distance ed. than to attend normal classes--I think instructors are more demanding when they never face their students--so it all depends on how flexible your schedule is. But not many employers are going to look favorably on a degree from a school that pops up on banner ads.
Reply:There are many pros and cons to whichever choice you will make. It all depends on how you handle things. Online study should not be viewed as easier to get through than the regular method whereby you would have to attend classes physically. Online degrees are meant for those who can work on their own in a disciplined manner, consistent in their work pace and are self motivated. If you think you have these characters, then doing it online would not be much of a problem to you. In terms of the acceptence of online degrees, there are many traditional universities and colleges now offering online degrees....so there shouldn't be any doubt about their standards. Here is a website which gives a brief idea of the flexibility and convenience in doing your degrees online. http://onlinedegree.350.com/Online_Accre...
Reply:My daughter got her associates degree with an on-line college. Some of them have 5-6 week terms so you can get more credits in a shorter period of time. Check out Liberty College and the University of Phoenix. I don't know how much the tuition is, but you can finish your degree.

Reply:A regular 4 year college is better. Many have programs that have only a small face to face requirement eg

IMHO that is the way to go rather than an exclusively on-line course.

Reply:From finding a future job standpoint, do not go the route of an online college. I work in human resources and if a resume comes across my desk as being from an online college I just stick it at the bottom of the pile. Online college may give you a degree, but they do not prepare you for the necessary attributes required by most jobs that a regular college would. Universities provide you with a well rounded education and other skills such as the ability to work well and interact with others and the ability to communicate and represent yourself in a pubic setting. These attributes are not learned by merely sitting at a computer, reading a book, and taking a test.
Reply:I take courses at Davenport University both online and inseat. My courses online are 7 weeks long as opposed to the traditional 15 week inseat courses. Which gives me the chance to get through my degree twice as quickly.





If time is more essential, I would take classes online. However, I can tell you it involves a lot of work and dedication in order to complete assignments, exams, mid-terms/finals. The offset to this is, that you often times can use your books, notes, etc to help out.





Also, if you are interested in the financial aspect of it...My classes online are $1275.00 for three credit hours and registration fee is $70.00. DU can also set you up for a book voucher if you need to add in books to a student loan, so you can purchase them through MBS textbooks online. =)





Hope this helps.
