Colorado Technical University

Online Bachelors Degree is it worth it?

With working a full time job and two young daughter its seems impossible to go to a traditional school. I am debating between University of Phoenix and Colorado Technical University. both seem the same but ive heard so many bad things can i trust them?

1. It would be difficult to pick two worse "universities". Many empoyers immediately trash any job applications listing degrees from these schools. Two better choices (if you MUST choose an on-line school): Western Governors University Athabasca University
2. Why not just do an online degree from a regionally accredited state school? It will be cheaper and both U of P and CTU are pointless schools. Degrees from those schools mean very little to employers. Most larger state schools now a days have entirely online degree programs. I'd suggest checking one out. It will hold the exact same weight as a traditional on campus degree.
3. as long as the school is accredited, then you can be assured that it is worth taking online degree program. however, you need to do a lot of research before making any decision. i have searched some good ones from you, and would recommend this website for your reference >> http://www.earndegreeonline.info
4. As long as your degree program is regionally accredited by an accrediting body, you're getting a legitimate degree. Lots of companies are actually signing up with online universities to do corporate training programs, so online bachelor's degrees are becoming more common. My aunt, who was a medical transcriptionist for years, did her bachelor's degree in healthcare management with AIU Online (http://www.aiuonline.edu). They're regionally accredited; her employer was fine with it; she got her promotion.
