First steps to schooling online?

I will be 27 in the fall and would like to attend school online; I am beyond motivated! however, I don’t know where to begin. I would like to pursue environmental science or something of that nature (no pun intended).

Before choosing an online school check the following:

  • It’s accreditation
  • It’s graduation/completion rate
  • Whether or not it is completely online, or requires an on-campus orientation
  • It’s cost

Read, “Online Education for Dummies” by Kevin Johnson and Susan Manning for more info and a list of the top 10 online schools.

Here are some links I dug up:
