Leah Said:

Are there any major universities that offer online degrees?

We Answered:

There are a lot of traditional, brick and mortar unis that offer online degrees. I don't know if these offer your major, though; but you can check: UMass Amherst, Southern New Hampshire U, Northeastern U, Fordham U, Pace U, UMass Dartmouth, Florida State, Drexel U, U Denver, U Illinois Springfield, U Illinois Urbana, Utica College.

Some of those unis (UMass, NE, FSU, etc.) are higher ranked than others (SNHU, Utica), but all are reputable, and all offer online degrees.

Ricky Said:

What reputable colleges/universities offer online undergraduate degrees?

We Answered:

These days, many quite reputable private and state colleges offer courses and even degrees online. They call it "distance education."

At the link below, you will find distance education programs offered through absolutely respectable and fully accredited universities like the University of Maryland, Penn State University, Indiana University, Iowa State University, New York University, University of California at Davis, and even Columbia University, Stanford University, and Cornell University.

However, I would still advise you to be careful. Many graduate programs are still extremely skeptical of online education. Contact the particular graduate programs in which you are interested, and make sure they would look kindly upon coursework taken online.

Best wishes to you.

What are some respectable online universities or established colleges that offer online degrees?

We Answered:

The state universities and community colleges will be the best and least expensive way to further your education online. Usually degrees obtained online from state universities and colleges will be no different than a degree granted to a student sitting in class. You probably won't get a scholarship, but financial aid is possible.

Stay away from the for-profits because of high cost. Some will be reasonable, but most, like University of Phoenix, overcharge. Additionally, whether it is deserved or not, some for-profit schools have a certain stigma applied to them. Some employers consider them as watered down education.

If you are just starting your college education or have less than 60 semester credit hours, try your local community college first. They may have an online AA degree program. If they don't, try other community colleges in your state.

Once you have an AA degree, you can enroll in an online bachelor's degree completion program at one of the state universities. Many state universities now have online degrees. The following are some websites to get you started.

When comparing tuition costs, you have to check if the school is on semester or quarter credit hours. To convert from quarter hours to semester hours, divide the tuition by 0.67. For example, if tuition is $180 per quarter credit hour, that is equal to $268.66 per semester credit hour.

Finally, when you choose a school, make sure it is at least regionally accredited. You can check accreditation at http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/search.a… You can learn more about accreditation at http://www.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/i…

Finally, there are a couple of forums online with members who have obtained their degrees online. Some have gone pretty far with their online degrees. The forums are free to join but you can read the forum without joining. You just won't be able to post. http://forums.degreeinfo.com and http://www.instantcertonline.com/forums

Good luck

May someone give me a complete list of traditional universities that offer online degrees?

We Answered:

By far, the most comprehensive guide of universities offering online degrees is Bears' Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning.

There are over 900 universities that offer complete online degrees, so it would not be possible to list them all here (there is a character limit on responses).
