<p>I want to get my associates degree from a community college and transfer to a 4-year school. The classes I would take would be my general studies classes. Is it possible to get this degree without setting foot on campus? Even for science labs? I'd like to do all my classes online. Preferably, I'd like to get the degree from a school in my state of Georgia so I can get in-state tuition.</p>
<p>If this is possible, can you please recommend some community colleges or technical colleges in Georgia?</p>
<p>I don’t think so, but don’t take my word as 100% correct.</p>
<p>At my CC, some online classes have their quizzes/exams online, some you need to go to the testing center for those quizzes/exams, and some just need you to go in for your final. You might encounter a course like the History course I’m currently taking, where your grade is derived from essays submitted online. Science/Labs would greatly depend on your major and what is required. There might be cases where a course you need might not have an online section.</p>
<p>I’m not in Georgia, but I would think it might be similar for you. I would just go to your local college, get a course catalog, and talk to an adviser.</p>
<p>Not to shoot your idea down, but I wouldn’t expect to get all of your credits without stepping on campus, let alone being able to take all of your courses online.</p>
<p>Thanks for replying. A lot of schools have online degrees that are offered to students anywhere across the country. How does that work? I would think these schools wouldn’t make people across the country come on campus and would offer everything online?</p>
<p>No, but I don’t know if they are accredited. They might be like some tech schools where your credits don’t transfer. I wouldn’t think that would do much good for transferring to UGA or something. Then again, I’m not sure if they just accept your AA/AS and let you bypass 2 years, or how that works.</p>
<p>Depending on your CC it could be possible. Just make sure you take the online classes through your local CC. If you do a program online you run the risk of the program not being accredited and your credits not transferring. At my CC (in FL), I could have take a lot of my classes online including foreign languages (how you do ASL online, I don’t know). There were a few classes such as remedial math classes and most of the science classes (all the science classes at my school have labs, but astronomy and general bio were available online) were only available on campus. I’ve take 3 of my math classes online and we did have to go on campus for the final, but that’s the only online class that required that. I’ve taken Introductory Algebra, College Algebra, Statistics, US History, Business, Human Growth and Development, and Humanities I and II online.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. I have decided to enroll in a local community college. I’ll be taking all of my classes online, but I’m glad to have the option of being able to talk to teachers face to face, use the library, etc. For certain reasons, I won’t be able to get there on a weekly basis, so when it comes time to take science and labs, I will take them from another school, one that offers it online. But I will make sure the classes are accredited and will transfer to my school.</p>
