What is the best website for masters degrees from online schools?

Are online Masters degrees (from accredited institutions) given less credibility than traditional schools? I'd really like to get a Masters degree (either MIS or similar) from an online university mostly b/c it best fits my schedule. I don't want to waste my time though if employers will ignore these types of degrees for advanced positions. What experiences (good or bad) have people had when applying for jobs or seeking promotions with an online degree?

are online schools for Masters degrees convenient and respected or is there a negative connotation to them? I am soon to be completing a Bachelors in sociology from a California University. I am going to be getting my Masters in Science for counseling, but since i was 18, i have been working and going to school at the same time. Once i get my bachelors, i plan to move to a higher paying job, which will require more responsibility and time, which i see as a problem because it is exhausting to juggle both. I just want to know what educated people think of online degrees, i think they are all the same, but perhaps people involved in interviews and hiring could tell me if there is a real taboo on those as opposed to actually attending a university. thank you!

Has anyone received a masters degree from Canyon College online? If so was it reputable enough for a career? I am in a position where I am pretty set to get a state job if I complete a masters degree...but I am scared if that doesn't for sure pan out if a degree from this online school will be good enough? Do employers even really look at what school your masters degree is from? Thanks

Recognition of online degrees from US grad schools for immigration? I want to know if the US state department and USCIS recognizes graduate degrees obtained via distance education for immigration applications. A US regular graduate degree is an advantage in H1B visa applications as applicants who hold a masters from US based schools are reserved 20000 slots. Does people who obtained theirs from outside the US via dist edu have the same benefit?

I graduated from college with a 2.01 GPA, and now I want to get a Masters. What online schools will accept me? I graduated from the University of Rhode Island and earned my BA in Economics. Now I'm looking to take some online courses to get my Masters Degree in Economics. However, all the popular online colleges (University of Phoenix, Kaplan University, etc.) all state on their website that a minimum GPA of 2.5 is required to enroll. So I need to know, can I really not get accepted to these programs with a 2.01 GPA? And if so, what accredited online universities will accept me with a 2.01 GPA? I would appreciate any information. Thank you very much.

Hays State University in Kansas 2. American College of Education 3. Walden University 4. AIU 5.Western New Mexico University They are all accredited I am sure.

Has anyone transferred from University of Phoenix to another online school for a Masters degree? I will be completing my bachelors degree in accounting from University of Phoenix within the next year and I am wanting to transfer to another university to complete a masters program. Not sure what exactly- something in business- finance, accounting, mba, etc. The main reason will be trying to find a good school that is a little cheaper and I would also just like to try another school. Can anyone offer suggestions on another school that offers these online degree programs? Oh- and please don't say anything about University of Phoenix being a bad school or anything- because that is your opinion and that is not what I am here to ask. Thanks.

Kaplan University and the University of Phoenix are both solely online and accredited which I like.

Does it look the same as say an MBA from UNCC or any other state school to a potential employer or does it look bad? Thanks!

Since my husband's in the navy and we'll be moving around a lot, I've been looking into getting another degree online. The problem is that no online schools offer Masters in graphic design or web design or anything even remotely related. Should I get a second Bachelors in the subject instead? Or should I go for an online Master's degree in a subject that doesn't interest me as much?

Do you get a better one on one education as well as less debt learning from online schools? I lost my scholarship at a two year college because I couldn't afford to pay for books much less feed myself. Now I've been unemployed since august and desperate to get a job and education...I was told not to bother with FASFA last year because parents made about 74 grand and it was just a waste of time and did you know that some colleges will tell you that you cant get a Stafford loan because your going to that school? Something about certain schools don't get funded for those loans at least that is what i was told by the admissions officer!?! ...that and I had no credit score..why is it i can now purchase a pack of cigarettes ( I don's smoke just trying to make a statement here how the gov says i'm independent enough to purchase that bull) but are considered a dependent? Gov is screwing everyone over for their education.. anyway parents made less this year and may actually could get something from FASFA and I've learned since then that ALL students.. doesnt matter the school can get a student loan. Its always been my dream to go to college and come out with at least a masters degree either technology or law. Can you get a better education (better student teacher attention when you need it and be able to go as slow or faster than you need to?) as well as cheaper on the pocket book and in less time than a regular college or university? Jobs here are easy to come by..if you have a college degree..but everyone knows that cycle.. what are some good online schools.... I tried ashworth but they are just a big headache..they teach nothing and take your money..still trying to get out of it even though have asked to be dropped from the program. Are there any LEGITIMATE online colleges where employers will be excited to hire you? really need a good education because im tired of dead end jobs...I WANT A CAREER!

is a JD from an online law school in California worthwhile? I am thinkng of becoming an attorney down the road, but don't have the time for the traditional brick and mortar class room, not to mention the 100k tuition while trying to make ends meet. But I would really rather spend my golden years as an attorney/consultant than a greeter at Wal-Mart. And at 30 years of age, I might be planning too far ahead, but I am at a stage in life trying to decide between either getting a masters degree in taxation or go with the online law degree to eventually get a JD and practice in California. I'll mainly be considering business law and family law consultation, no court room drama litigation stuff.

I am looking for a online Master Degree Program in Accounting? So I have been at this for a few weeks now and have only come across one school that I have liked so far. It is SNHU. However, SNHU does not offer some of the things I am looking for in an online school. What I am looking for is an online school that offers Master degrees in accounting. I do not want to have to take the GMAT or GRE as I cannot afford either of the two. I am also looking for a school that has low tuition. $100-$500 per credit hour would be ok. SNHU also does not offer scholarships so I am looking for a school that does offer them. I do not want to have to take out thousands of dollars in loans if I have other means to pay for it. It would be awesome if I could find a school that either pays for the students laptop or includes it in tuition. Books included in tuition would be great as well. Since I have no background in accounting SNHU wants me to complete over 54 hours but that is an awful lot. I am looking anywhere from 30 credits to 45 credits. They have to be regionally accredited and accredited by either the ACBSP or AACSB. I live in Illinois and these are the requirements to sit for the CPA exam. SNHU also waived my application fee since I am unemployed which was great. So if anyone has any schools in mind that would be great. I have already looked at places like Keller, UOP, and other well known online schools but I am not interested in any of those. I am looking for a reputable school where I am not going to be laughed at when I go to take the CPA exam. Any help is greatly appreciated. Sandra....I've already been to that website but thank you!

Online Schools offering degrees in Biology? I have been searching for a little while now and cant seem to find any. I am wanting a degree in Biology, either in Marine Biology or a degree that would allow for Wolf Conservation, field studies etc. I know they are pretty distant but I would probably be happy in any biology field. I have worked with all kinds of animals from White Tigers to Red Pandas to Lar Gibbons to Black Rhinos all at a conservation that focuses on breeding. Im also a Dive Master training to be an instructor (so thats why marine Bio) and I have always been fascinated with wolves. Im leaving next month for the Caymans to work in a Dive shop that trains people and does tours and what not so I need to find a school because if I can do online schools than I will just stay until I finish my degree but if not then I will have to come back at the end of the year or next may(havent decided). My boss told me there is a school on the Island that will do Marine Biology but Ild rather have the option of something else online too. Any help on this one?

What are some good, 'legit' online schools that offer BA degrees? I want to go into a Masters program for Library Science, but my lack of BA keeps me from entering one, obviously. Does anyone know of some decent online schools that offer BA degrees that do not seem so lame and cheesy (University of Phoenix comes to mind as something I want to stay away from). I understand Boston University has one for a Liberal Arts degree. Anyone know about it? I just want to be done with my BA so that I can get into a Masters Program and get on with my career. I guess what it comes down to is a degree that is acquired via online courses that does not LOOK like a degree that was acquired via online sources. Tips? Suggestions? Advice? All is appreciated.

What reputable colleges/universities offer online undergraduate degrees? I am currently working full-time and would like to earn my undergraduate degree online from a reputable institution.

Can anyone recommend some good schools that offer online degrees that would look good when I apply for graduate school?

"Little or No study" online degrees? A few people that I work with, have received degrees from online schools (Strayer, Excelsior, etc..) which required them just to pay money to receive the degree with little or no study, no tests, etc.. The degrees are supposedly "Accredited". Unfortunately our employer, gives them full credit for obtaining these degrees. Should I do it too? I've obtained my Bachelor's degree the old fashioned way...it was difficult but I learned a lot. I don't really have the time to get a Master's degree the right way, but I still need to be competitive... I have read articles that say "Don't be a victim of the online paper mills" but it seems like the real victims are the people who DON'T do it.. Should I just drop the money down for the degree? I need to DO something to stay ahead... thanks for your commments but as i mentioned my employer gives them full credit for these degrees, pay raise, promotions ,etc...so to my employer (and I'd bet many others) they are not worthless

Do I need to list my Associates Degree on my resume or just a Bachelors and Masters degree? I have my associates degree from an online school. When I apply for a career in the future do I just put my Bachelors and Masters or do I need to include associates as well, even though its just basic courses?

Online Master's of Education degrees - HELP!? Please save my bleary eyes from more research. I am a spouse of a U.S. military officer, living in Asia (not near any universities). Obviously, I cannot obtain a master's degree in the traditional sense. That leaves online. My concern is having a degree on my resume from an institution that nobody's heard of. I know that there are plenty of good quality schools out there that are not widely known. However, I feel a bit leery of the schools that are exclusively online. Even if they're properly accredited, are there any exclusively online schools that are great quality, somewhat known, and "safe?" Some of the well known schools like Drexel and Penn St. have some online master's degree programs, but their programs are not as flexible as the lesser known schools' programs. Being a military spouse who moves frequently, flexibility is critical. Quality is critical! Thoughts? Advice? Thank you for your time in reading this long post.

Masters Degree from University of Phoenix- A question of economics & respectability? I am considering where to get a Master of Science in Business Management. I want to continue with education in this specific area of study. Naturally, I also want to make a sound economic choice and, at the same time, one that will be respected by prospective employers. University of Phoenix, offers a comprehensive program with an affordable price tag. I've also considered Pepperdine, UC Irvine, and Chapman College. All of which are extremely high priced and very respected. I worry about the following: the cost of a "brick and mortar" school with a good reputation vs. an online degree, the value employers place on degrees (online or traditional); the respectability of an online degree; the competitiveness of an online degree; the ROI of my degree with the higher end schools. I'm interested in honest opinions, even if they are bad. I'd love to hear from an employer's perspective and a UOP graduate. I'm looking around and am having a hard time deciding. I thought it would be a good idea to get some opinions before making a commitment. @Adorable and PE2008, Thank you for your responses and your input. I appreciate your help. @PE2005, I'm curious about your comment. If I'm correct, you're saying the university of choice is a lack of judgment, not the area of study. Right? Forgive my typo. I meant PE2008, not 2005. Sorry :(

can you switch from an online masters program to an in class program? I have a problem. I am now in my junior year of my undergrad program in psychology at Nebraska Wesleyan University. I am dating someone and we are very serious. The problem is is that he is a year behind in school so I will graduate before him. To get a decent job in the psychology field I am going to need to get a masters degree. They dont have masters programs for psychology at my university and they dont have any at UNL...So, would any of my future employers look down on me if I take a year of online masters program and then switch to an in class program? The other problem is that for me not to have to pay back my school loans I need to stay in school and I do not want to leave him in Lincoln all by himself. Can you even split a masters program like that, where you transfer in credits from online classes?

Anyone know of any online masters (graduate) degree programs in the United States that are online in math? Anyone know of any online masters (graduate) degree programs in the United States that are online? IMPORTANT:I am only interested in programs from schools that have traditional on campus degrees as well. What I mean is not schools like University of Phoenix which mostly offer programs online. Here's an example: Texas A & M has a masters program in math online: http://distance-ed.math.tamu.edu/ Even though Texas A & M is a well-known traditional school. I don't mind if the degree has a small concentration in something else like education as long as the degree has a main focus on math. As I am not a Texas resident tuition would be about $1,000 per credit so I am looking for something cheaper.

is a bachelors degree from a real university..? look better than a degree from somewhere like university of pheonix, ITTech, and online schools, or are they completely the same? i will be attending a California State University and i know many people who are working on their degrees at schools like the above and they go to school less hours and years, yet they still get a bachelors or masters degree. how is that possible? if you were an employer, which degree from which school would you find more impressive i meant DOES a i plan to double major in human resources and marketing or accounting, as well as minor in probably english

Do employers turn their backs on people who received online degrees? I am currently a college student attending an accredited college at a university. I am about to graduate in May 2010 and I am in the process of applying to graduate schools. I am applying to programs in international studies with a concentration in security intelligence. I've applied to universities and institutes, but I have also found some online universities that offer the same masters degree. I am trying to really move up and have a high position in government either it'd be the FBI, CIA, NSA, etc., and just am wondering if the state department, these three-letter agencies and the government in general turn their backs on people who earn their degrees online? I ask this because you don't see many heads of state or high-ranking officials who are known today with an education background at online universities. But you do see many from well-known universities, etc. Will they turn their backs on people with an online degree? If they weigh two resumes together and they see an online degree and a degree from a university that is known for its name, there is a high chance they would pick the person from the university right? I am just worried about my school picks for graduate school. Anyone out there who have suggesstions? I am interested in Strategic Intelligence Studies and Intellignece. Thanks.

Anyone with online degree - What types of jobs did you find after graduation? Best online schools? I am thinking about continuing my education by obtaining a masters degree online. I have researched three schools in particular. UMASS - Lowell, the University of Cincinnati, and the University of Boston. The degree I'm going for is a Masters in Criminal Justice. Has anyone graduated from any of these schools? Was it easy for you to obtain a job afterwards? If you obtained a job, what type? Do you think an online masters degree is worth it? Any advice would be helpful.

Online Masters Degree or Second bachelors degree? Online Masters Degree I am a 24 year old head strength and conditioning coach/assistant football coach at a H.S. in California. I am also a substitute teacher/personal trainer and make fairly good money with these 2 jobs combined (coaching I merely received a stipend). I own a house and live comfortably... With that said I have my B.S. in Kinesiology and am interested in obtaining my masters degree, though have no interest in relocating unless it's for a graduate position. I've accepted that getting one of these positions is next to impossible unless I know the head guy or someone else important within the athletic program. My GPA is under a 3.0 so it is hard to get into most schools that are within commute distance... My question for all of you is would you hire someone that obtain their masters degree from an online school/program? Or would this be a complete waste of time/money? ..This would be a great way to accomplish this goal of mine though I am afraid that most employers would look the other way once they see that I have an online degree posted on my resume. It's either this or I'm thinking about doing a second bachelors degree in Spanish, busting my butt, possibly getting my masters in that and becoming a bilingual teacher and/or coach. Please comment on this, your advice/opinion/comments will be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Quality Online Masters Degree Programs? I have been looking into online Masters Degree Programs over the past month. I am active duty military so I am looking for something I can do online because I don't have the time during the daylight hours to attend class. In my search I have to contradictory desires, one is to find a school to be proud I can say I have a degree from, and the other is to not be paying for the degree for the rest of my life. Military TA will pay 250 a credit hour and I am trying to stay close to that amount. My degree preferences would be in Military History or Intelligence. I have found some Justice Studies degrees that have Intelligence concentrations and History degrees that have military. electives. I feel like I spend all my time looking for a school and I am ready to get started, but I am still lacking in the where.

Is a masters in intellegence from American Military University any good? I am currently in the Army National Guard as a officer candidate (cadet) in Army ROTC in college. I have completed one tour as an enlisted combat arms soldier in Iraq. I will be graduating this spring with a bachelors in business. For my last year of ROTC in college I need to be enrolled full time in school so I will be working on my masters’ degree. I am taking my commission as a officer in the Reserves as a intelligence officer. I wish to take a job being an intelligence analyst in the civilian sector and was wondering if a master in intelligence is any good for what I wish to do and if AMU is creditable or if there are any better online schools that offer this degree. Please for your answers I am looking for people who have served in the intelligence field or are knowledgeable of it, thank you!

Do you think it matters where I get my masters degree from? Hello, I am 40 years old, have a great job in money management. I have my bachelor's degree and are certified in Treasury Management. My company will pay for tuition reimbursement of $5K per year. I also have three kids and work full time. I can get my MBA from Western Governors University in two years for $12K. This means I would only have to pay $2k out of pocket. This is an online school that is accredited and got great reviews. Or I could go to a school that is local but also has an online school (which I need with three kids) and pay $10k out of pocket. If I went to this school no one would know it is an online degree because they also have local programs that are not online. I would have to take out school loans for that though. Money is tight and I prefer not to. Do you think this online school from Western Governors would affect my job opportunities? or will it not matter, because I will have an MBA and that does not matter too much that I got it online. Help? Oh thank you! What is regionally accredited versus nationally accredited? How do I find that out? Nationally and Regionally Accredited Western Governors University is nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). WGU is also regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, one of the major accrediting commissions recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Regional accreditation is considered the highest form of accreditation given to institutions. The Northwest Commission is also responsible for the accreditation of other major institutions such as the University of Washington, University of Oregon, Gonzaga University, University of Utah, University of Idaho, and Brigham Young University, to name just a few. NCATE Accredited The WGU Teachers College is the first and only exclusively online provider of teacher education to receive accreditation from the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The NCATE accrediting team I just added details on its accreditation. Can you tell me if this is okay then? It looks like it is regionally accredited. Okay, so I should look for schools that are accredited AACSB and attend that MBA program and pay a bit more and go part time if I want this degree to pay off?

Online degree - Master's (public health) vs MBA? Graduate from top college vs not so good graduate school? (1) I intend to stay in the healthcare finance industry. Which graduate degree will be more beneficial for my career development (and possibly higher income) -- getting a master's (in public health) or MBA? (2) For my undergrad degree, I graduated from a top national college. There are more nationally reputable online master's programs than online MBA programs. Is it better to have the "name" than the type of graduate degree (MBA vs MPH)?

Online MBA program from University of Phoenix? I am considering enrolling in the U of PHX online MBA program. Has anyone done this? What do you know about U of PHX?

Am I suffering from severe depression? and will a normal person be depressed going through my situation? I'm 25 years old about to turn 26. I have not been able to have friends, go out, or have a girlfriend for the last 7 years due to deaths in family...so I'm had to stay home to take care. I grew up in a small town where all of the good looking girls where taken and I've always been told that I look good (I'm asian guy). It's crazy now that I'm 25 and never had a girlfriend. I was so outgoing, and just about everybody liked me...and I was part of the "crowd" in school. Was a team captain of the golf team, etc etc. I lost everything except for my education, which now I'm working on my masters degree online. Is this normal to be feeling sad all the time due to my situation? I'm trying to be as optimistic as I can, and I want to know if there is anybody out there that is going through the same sort of thing.

Do any "brick and mortar" schools offer a online doctorates or phd degree? I'm wondering if any "brick and mortar" schools offer doctorates or phd degrees online? I know of plenty brick and mortar extension schools that have masters programs online (Harvard, NE, MIT, etc...) but nothing further up. Please keep in mind im only asking about programs associated with well known, non-online only, schools. Also I'm preferably interested a business degree but if you know of a school that offers this in a different field of study your welcome to list it here. Thanks. RoaringMice, I was just curious. Infact i much rather have a doctorates then a PHD because I wouldnt plan teaching or doing alot of scholerly research after graduation. It would be more for personal knowledge in the field and a better look to employers. Northcentral university for example is accredited and offers some very interesting DBA and PHD programs in business but i get the feeling that since they arn't associated with a brick and mortar school the degree would be looked down on by colleagues and employers.
