College Search & Selection Online Degrees

Are there any?

I have been working professionally for 7 years and just looking to complete my degree… in anything, just for salary purposes and to show employers I have a degree. Due to family circumstances at the time I had to stop college when I was 21, then I just started working in IT. I have about 70 credit hours. I would like to attend a real college but due to working full time, and the lack of night classes I would like to find a school who offers an online degree.
I wouldn’t mind doing economics, information systems, political science, general business or philosophy if available.

thanks.

Nope. They don’t offer online degrees.

Try either Ashford University or Troy University. Both have actual physical campuses in the US, are regionally accreditted (like other legit universities), have the best selection of majors I’ve seen in online degrees, and accept financial aid. Not sure about Troy, but I know Ashford accepts almost 90 credits, I believe. Classes are 5 weeks in length, and you take one at a time. I think those are probably the best choices.

[edit] Also, Ashford’s exams are all online and you don’t need to find a proctor, which I found really convenient as it got rid of the headache of dealing with that.

As far as I know, the UC system doesn’t offer online degrees but the Cal State system does.

Here is one as CSUB in environmental resource management.

Here is the CSU site for online classes.

As for IT, Chico state offers a computer Science degree via their distance education office but last I checked it was absurdly pricey.

Ashford is a for-profit school and is extremely overpriced. Plus, you have the stigma of going to a for-profit school attached to it. I would suggest Troy. It’s a state university of Alabama, and they have an NCAA I football team that you can actually watch on ESPN. Plus, they have some beautiful campuses in Alabama.

Also, check out Washington State and University of Wyoming.

CSU Dominguez Hills offers an online degree completion program - Bachelor of Applied Sciences.

CSU East Bay just started offering and online degree completion in Business Administration with two option - Finance is one of them, I can’t remember the other. CSU East Bay is accredited by AACSB!

CSU Long Beach is about to start a degree completion program in liberal arts. It’s not online, but the classes are going to be held at night and on weekends. If that doesn’t work, a number of private universities offer adult programs and online courses. The nice thing with them is that they make no differentiation between the brick and mortar and the online class. In other words, your transcript will look the same as the traditional student’s. Chapman U and University of LaVerne come to mind as great options. Stay away from the Phoenix, Devry, and other for profit schools.

There are more CSU’s coming up with online programs. Here is a link to some of them and what programs they may offer. Hope it helps!
