I would like to take online courses and transfer them to my current university (University of Hartford). I am getting my bachelor’s degree in history and am considering the following:
<ul>
<li>University of Maryland University College: accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.</li>
<li>University of Illinois Online: The University of Illinois offers an online Bachelor of Arts in History. Education in history at the University of Illinois at Springfield is broad-based humanities training, providing students with research capabilities, analytical methods, and communication skills that are useful in many fields. Accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.</li>
<li>Southern New Hampshire University: offers an online Bachelor program with a minor in history. The program is 100% Internet-based employing primarily asynchronous tools. Accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.</li>
<li>New Jersey Virtual Community College Consortium: Community colleges in New Jersey have formed a consortium to share courses. Online degrees in history include an Associate in Arts in History. Accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.</li>
<li>Fort Hays State University: The Department of History at Fort Hays State University provides courses to enable students interested in completing a Master of Liberal Studies (MLS) with a concentration in history in an online format. Fort Hays State University is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.</li>
<li>American Public University: offers the following history degrees through distance education – Master of Arts in History, Bachelor of Arts in History, Associate of Arts in History. Accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council. </li>
</ul>
Got any good or bad reviews concerning these 6 institutions? Any other places that offer history courses? I’m doing this because I would like to save some money. If distance learning doesn’t work out, I think I’ll find a community college where I can take some classes.
Thanks.
