getting a college degree online?

We Answered:

The names of some colleges that offer degrees online, here are a few for starters:

* Harvard University (though I understand they've recently implemented a residency requirement)
* University of Massachusets (about any campus)
* University of California (Dominguez and Chico come to mind)
* University of Florida
* Florida State University
* Jacksonville State University
* Webster University
* East Carolina University
* SUNY
* Kansas State
* Montana State
* Northern Arizona U.
* West Virginia
* Southern New Hampshire U.
* University of Texas
* Indiana Wesleyan
* Liberty U.
* Mississippi State
* NYIT
* Univ of Maryland
* Univ of South Dakota
...... it can go on and on, there are 100s...

Here's the deal. Not too long ago online college was "bad" and everyone thought it was a scam. Then some major colleges did research and found out that it works better than in the classroom college in many cases. So, just about every college in the US now offers at least some classes online.

More than a few colleges offer complete degrees online and even more offer a hybrid of online and classroom. Pick your favorite university and search their web for keywords like "Distance Learning" "Online" or "Extension" and you will likely find some program that they offer you from the convenience of your home (and for a price).

Those proprietary colleges you see advertised on TV aren't your only options. Look around - online education is the way higher education is going to be delivered, it's not new anymore and colleges are embracing the technology (finally!).
