And the Open University in the UK is pretty much the grandaddy of online education: http://www.open.ac.uk/oubs/programmes/in…

I want to make a career change into it project management. what education do i need? I have no experience.?

We Answered:

Everything that I have heard is that the information technology industry regards accredited online degree programs similarly to campus programs. The important thing to remember is that not all schools are the same (both campus and online). Some are regarded better and some are a better fit for different people. Similar to any school choice you should explore your options. I did a search for information technology degrees and this site appears to provide a good amount of information and schools for you to check out.

Are Online Degrees legit and respected by employers?

We Answered:

The key is to make sure the college/university is accredited. I have three basic recommendations for everyone looking into online/distance education. They all have to do with exploring; after all, you have to defend your assets.

1. Make certain that you have triple checked their accreditation. First, they tell you what it is, then you go to that accrediting body’s website (not through the link provided by the school), and thirdly you would visit the department of education to see what they have to say. Do your diligent research into the institutions once you have narrowed down to a couple. You can look at the Better Business Bureau for more information on the college.

2. You must have extreme self motivation and be able to teach yourself per say. This means that you will not have someone telling you verbally, so it is up to you to get the information from the course room, text, and other resources. The best way to look at it is like a guided independent study course.

3. Review your goals, personal and professional. Make sure that the school that you are going to offers the programs that match your goals. Do not settle. There are many programs that are similar, but you have to make the ultimate decision. Do not let it be based on finances and length of program, but the fact that when you are finished or near finished you will be able to assume your proper place in the career field sought.

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

How do I go about getting another degree online after I finish my first bachelors?

We Answered:

Florida State University offers a Web Development certificate for about $1400. The program does not appear to require a bachelor's for admission. http://learningforlife.fsu.edu/cpd/progr…

If you decide to go for an online bachelors, you may have more luck with financial aid by choosing a program at a state school; the downside there is that you may have trouble transferring credits from your ITT-Tech degree. (Regionally accredited schools tend to balk at transferring credits from nationally accredited schools. This attitude is changing, but it's a slow process.)

If your school accepts your degree as-is, you can expect to need at least 30 new credits to complete your second bachelors.
