Will an associate degree from an online nationally accredited college allow me to work in the NC schools?

We Answered:

You will need a bachelor's degree with a major in elementary education or in a subject commonly taught in secondary schools plus professional education credits.

The college where you earn your degree must be certified by a regional accrediting association and preferably also by NCATE (National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education). This site has a list of the schools in Georgia that are accredited by NCATE.

A reputable Georgia college would be accredited by SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) which has its headquarters in Decatur, Georgia. You can find out whether the college you are planning to attend is accredited by SACS by calling (404) 679-4558.

There are a number of "accrediting" bodies that are not recognized by the academic community - they are a sham.

Can an American get an accredited degree from an online college/ university in another country?

Nothing comes for free they will take it from you one way or the other. Just think if they are giving you for free then what will be the quality of education. Moreover why you want to go out of country and study online when you know level and quality of education US provides is always the best. So study well at your home why go out and waste your valuable money.

What are the ramifications of getting a degree from a non-accredited online college?

We Answered:

This means that many places will not recognize your degree, and I know for a fact that the government (even a city job or the military) will not recognize a degree from a non-accredited uni. They'll treat it like you don't even have a degree. Private institutions are a different matter, but it'll be harder to get a job based on your degree, meaning that you might not be considered a professional in the field and it might stop you from getting a job that requires a degree - because they won't recognize degrees from non-accredited uni. Also, if you do get a degree, it will not transfer to other colleges and universities. So, if you get an associates degree from the college, then you can't use it to transfer to another college for a bachelors, and so on.

If you want to get a degree in alternative health then you'll be better off spending your money with an accredited uni. because at least your money will have been worth something in the end. Also, many legit colleges offer online classes and online degrees. I wouldn't waste my money on a degree from a non-accredited institution.

The accreditation means that the uni or college has classes that meat certain standards and prepares you for a career in that field. If a college cannot get accreditation then it's very possible that they're not going to teach you what you need to know in order to be successful in that field. GL.

How do employers and h.r. view applicants that have degrees from online accredited colleges? While employed?

We Answered:

Online education is better than no education. However, if you are being considered along with someone else with a degree from a traditional university, they will have better chances of being hired. It also depends on your experience and skill level. I've known some high-level executives who have had years of experience in their field and did not receive an MBA until years later from an online school. In their case, they have the industry experience and the MBA is just a little extra.
