My friend got all the way through his PhD from Weldon University online, and he said very good things about Weldon.

To compare? Go to the link to get information about a number of different programs. Personally, I believe if you can get it from a 'real' school that has an online program (like a state college or a business school that's well known), you're better off than just some upstart only online program. (That's what I did - got my Master's without setting foot on the campus.) So, check out some big colleges to see if they offer online degrees, too.

Try University of Phoenix, they are one of the most highly visible and apparently successful online universities out there.

I am currently a junior at Upper Iowa University. I love it and highly recommended it to anyone! The courses are 8 week terms and you only need to take 2 courses per term to be considered full-time for financial aid etc. Check it out at www.uiu.edu

Univ of Phoenix is extremely expensive ($500+/Credit hour) I got mine from Bellevue University, they're reasonably priced and the program can be accelerated. Mine was 18 months long. If you go there they have something called the Kirkpatrick signature series that you take at the end of the program and is three courses long. It is mandatory for all students. If you go to Bellevue, just don't take the sig series with Dr. Devine, he's a jerk and deliberately creates religious hostility in the classroom and then gives you poor grades if you dare to disagree with him. I went from a perfect 4.0 to a 3.86 because of that loser. Right now I'm doing my masters degree at Walden University. Yeah, I was so pissed at Devine that I refused to do my master's there. I think Walden Univ has a bachelor program, though not sure. Capella Univ is another reasonably priced online college. Good luck to you. It all depends on what you want to study.

As an employer, I can tell you that I don't consider a bachelors online degrees anywhere near the equivalent of a real bachelors degree in a classroom setting. My experience tells me that those online degrees are really a cash cow for whoever's selling them... the only employer I know who seems to consider these degrees happens to be in state or federal government!

About accredited online colleges - associate's degree

Accredited Online Colleges - Associate's Degree?
I'm interested in starting back to school in the next six months. I'll likely be transitioning to a work-at-home situation with my current employer soon, and I'd like to multi-task with some online courses(light load to start, of course). I'm very good at that, and frankly I've tackled MUCH more intensive jobs than the one I'm doing now with great ease, so I'm not concerned about focus, etc. I'm interested in associates degrees in two fields: -Programming: C++, some 3D design work, and (if possible) an emphasis on physics-based programming(I would love to program the way that objects interact with eachother in games, etc) -or-(And yes, these are very different) -SOMETHING that would be a step towards professional counseling, I would be interested in specializing in helping couples who live 'alternative' lifestyles, as I have a lot of friends who have made these choices in their lives, and I've been personally affected by some myself. A lot of them come to me for help and advice with these relationships, and I think it might be rewarding to try and help people with these things for a living. I'll need to do all (or a very strong MOST) of this from home during the day. I don't mind if I occasionally have to go somewhere to take a test, etc; but it needs to be VERY infrequent, so that I can continue a full time job. I'm not interested in University of Phoenix, ITT Tech, or any other trade schools. I'm interested in real, accredited colleges, that won't kill me on costs(I'm not made of money, and I've got rent, car payments, insurance, etc to take care of at the same time.) Can someone suggest good paths to take for either of these degrees online? Again, no trade schools please!

An associate's degrees is not going to be able to help you in a path to professional counseling. However, I would suggest going to different school's websites because these days, most "real" colleges offer online programs. Indiana State University, Harrison College, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, and Ball State University all have online or distance independent learning programs. Google "colleges or universities" if you cannot think of enough and start looking at their sites for information on online programs

Dear , I will suggest you http://eeducation.freevar.com Best of luck

Firstly I want to mention that i admire the basis on which you selected counseling. I hardly hear of such decisions. Anyways to the point. An Associate's Degree is never going to be enough in either fields. For counseling, you need atleast a masters. You can check out Capella University and University of West Alabama. Talking about 3D design, regent university. Hope that helps. kevin
