Terri Said:

Does anyone have any advice on online graduate programs in anthropology?

We Answered:

I won't go so far as to say that online graduate programs in anthropology (or any social science, for that matter) are completely useless, but no university is going to fill an academic position with someone whose degree was earned over the internet. A significant portion of a standard graduate education is the personal interaction with professors and other students, particularly (from the perspective of someone looking to hire you as a teacher) the opportunity to teach undergraduates. The best scholars in any field generally work at major research universities which do not offer online coursework, and there are plenty of people turned away from positions despite having degrees from well-respected institutions, so it would be hard to get a leg up on them. Access to a good library and other information resources that aren't available online is a very important part of generating a significant piece of research yourself, which is what a ph.d. is all about.

Freddie Said:

What are the best brick and mortar universities offering online graduate degree programs?

We Answered:

There are tons of online programs. I personally attended American Intercontinental Univ. and Capella University, and teach for the University of Phoenix. All three are accredited and solid programs. Online courses tend to vary in price, so we could say they are more expensive, but that is relative. Of course they are more expensive than a community college, but less expensive than Harvard. The price range varies.

The key is to find a program that is fully accredited. Is it worth it? YES. My career has boomed since my MBA at nearly 5 years ago. I am nearly finished my PhD through distance education, and I am at the job that I want. I know I wouldn’t be here without the education. If you are looking at work in the U.S., then you need a school that is accredited and recognized by the Dept of Ed. I can give more info on that later.

You should market yourself and not the degree or university. There are many traditional universities offering degrees that can be earned through online methods. Look at that if you are truly concerned with the name of the school. Good luck on your search!

Online MA Art History graduate programs?

We Answered:

Doing a search at http://www.petersons.com, I only find one program, and I'm not sure if it is accredited or not:

Prescott College
Prescott, Arizona
http://www.prescott.edu/

And, maybe the a school might let you do more things online, even if they do not have an "official" online program, so you might ask at other schools you are interested in.
