It depends on where you get the degree …some go through a regular college and you get a degree from that college and it’s not any different. If it’s from an on line college then you get a degree from say Phoenix On line and that’s what the degree says and most everyone knows that’s an on line college. You should check your local colleges and see what is offered. Some classes are different ..all on line the final exams and everything on line but other classes may expect you to come in for proctored exams. Good luck anyway!! I’m taking an on line course and it’s really hard but it’s a math class so that would be… I’ve taken other classes on line and through video and they are not too bad if you are disciplined to study.

You will not need to travel, all your classes and exams will be online.

Your diploma will not look different, it will just be from a different institution. Make sure that the program you enroll in is accredited and will comply with any state certification criteria. I just dropped out of Walden’s Master’s in Mental Health because the program did not satisfy state certification criteria, and Walden does a lot of self-congratulatory bull in all of it’s classes. I do not recommend them.

After looking at University of Phoenix and some others I think WGU is a great choice for me. Returning to school after several years while having a career and the obligations that come with being 40+ this alternative is realistic. Sitting in a tiny chair/desk in some classroom four hours a night listening to some tenured teacher drone on really isn’t realistic…..

… As WGU is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (the same accreditation as University of Oregon, University of Idaho, Boise State University, University of Utah & Brigham Young University among many many others) I feel confident this isn’t a “degree a 10 yr old can purchase”. This is the 21st century so I’ll just assume DrAnderson69 is 69 years old and doesn’t grasp the concept of online learning. Your loss.

I’m attending WGU right now. The only difference between this and my time at my CC and FSU is that I don’t sit in class. The finals I study for are almost identical. The essays I turn in are graded quite rigorously, and my research is checked for authenticity. Not only is the University accredited but so is my program by it’s accrediting authority.

Hi,

Thx for reply. They are regionally accredited by the regular accrediting authority. The same one that governs U of Washington, U of Idaho, etc. I agree that they could form their own accrediting body. Some “home schools” advertised on TV do that, but they are regionally accredited.

fill out their application, and tell me then. nothing against “alternative” learning, but a so called degree that anyone can get is useless!

If the college says they have accreditation then they must because that would cause them to me in more trouble then anything saying they are just for someone to find out they are not. Furthermore…being “accepted” in that program does not mean you are going to fly through and pass each requirement. Chances are, if you have not taken classes you are not going to fly through your program. I’m in a teacher prep program and hung up on a side concept that I will not teach, needs to be done though
