About how much does it cost, exactly, to get a 2-year degree online

How much does it cost, exactly, to get a 2-year degree online?

I am looking to go back to college online for an Associates degree in business administration/human resources management. There are thousands of resources on the Internet and I am finding it daunting trying to figure out how MUCH each online program costs. I am hopeful someone reading this will know of a succinct resource that breaks this humongous list down by pricing.

The cost depends on the school. A local community college will probably be the most reasonable, then in-state universities. For-profit schools like the University of Phoenix will usually be the most espensive. You also want to look at how much the degree will be respected in the work world if that's why you want to attend. Of the three types of schools listed above, the university would probably be the most respected, then the community college, then the U of Pnx. Schools generally charge by the credit hour, often plus some kind of fee each term. A community college might be under $100 a credit hour for residents, a state university might be a couple hundred or more for residents, and the for-profit schools might be $400 to $500 or more. Most legitimate schools will have cost info on their websites. Getting an associates degree will probably involve taking about 56 credit hours.

The cost depends on the institution. For instance, when I earned my degree online, I was charged $300/credit. Well, if my course was 36 credits, the cost of my degree was $10,800. The school you choose should be able to tell you the cost of the program you want to attend. Best wishes...

I am an in-state student at a technical school that offers associate's degrees. I am a full time student, and I pay about $475 per quarter, plus the cost of books. Books can range from under $40 to upwards of $200 per quarter. Out-of-state students pay more for tuition. So basically I'm paying at least $2000 per year, and if you go full-time for two years, then it's around $4,000 plus the cost of the books for the courses. Hope that helps you! Good luck!

About Has anyone completed the paralegal associates degree program from sbbc

Has anyone completed the Paralegal Associates Degree Program from SBBC?

I am currently in the process of enrollment for the online program. I am having second thoughts about the credibility of the school and my degree. Will any law firm take me seriously? I cannot seem to find any feedback from former students who have taken this program. (Other than what the school's website has published.) I am a mother of three so the online aspect is very appealing, however, I don't want to waste my time, and more importantly, my money. Any suggestions?

Is it a totally online program? If it is, it is not ABA-approved. They do not approve online programs. I am entering a paralegal program this Fall. I have done a lot of research. Almost everything I read mentions that employers want an approved school. Even if you get hired by one that does not, if you want to move on, you may find employers that want the approval, so you are limiting your options. There are quite a few programs near me, but few that are approved. The one I chose is at my local community college. I have a BA, so I need to take 30 credits and do an internship. They also have an Associates for those without a BA, which is about 66 credits. My cost will be under 5,000 and that includes books. It will take me 2 years going part-time. I had found another school that was charging 14,000 and was not approved. It takes a year. This is an actual university and for people with BAs. The cost scared me, but the fact there was no approval led me to decide on the other school. So, it really can vary with costs and structure. I would not take one that is not approved. And I am not certain how law firms would feel about an online school. I will tell you what else I have found-they want experience above all else, so when you get out of school, you will have to start in an entry-level job. I think having an online degree will make it even harder, because you have had no contact. I will be working with several attorneys as my professors and I will have the internship. I would be very careful. Check out the schools near you. I am going at night. Good luck!

I am planning to take online courses as well but this will be very difficult especially for this coming winter. I talked to the advising Center and she told me Health Care courses are only for on campus. So if you like, i can help you. Do you like to study in Seattle, WA? I have a source. This person can help you. Firstly, if you like, you can talk to her on the Phone, Tell her that if there is any other health care for online course. Hope this helps

An online degree can be a great option. You can put your time intao study instead of driving back and forth. The biggest thing you want to watch out for is to make sure you are going to a quality school. The best way I know to do that is to call up a few of the big, well established state universities in your state and ask if you can transfer credits from the associate program you are considering to them. If they say no, then you probably should look at a different school. Also another problem that a lot of people run into with online degrees is licensing.  There are some schools out there that offer an accredited online degree, but the degree doesn't prepare you to sit for the licensing test. So lets say you get a degree as a nurse, but you aren't allowed to take the test to be licensed as a nurse because your degree isn't certified for that. I don't think you'll run into something like that with medical records, but it is still something to watch for. Make sure you will be prepared enough that someone could actually employ you. I'd suggest trying to get an interview with the human resources director of a nearby hospital. Lay out the plan of what you are planning to do for education and ask if they would hire someone with those qualifications. I know that the HR director of our local hospital would happily take the time to help you. They have to look so hard for good employees that they would be happy to take 30 minutes to give someone some advice on how to prepare to work in health care. They can give you a good idea of how your degree will be viewed by someone who will actually do the hiring. Good luck in your education and career!

About Is there a way to transfer an incomplete Bachelor's Degree program towards an Associate's degree

Is there a way to transfer an incomplete Bachelor's Degree program towards an Associate's degree?

I am enrolled in an online school and have completed about two-thirds of the program towards a bachelor's degree. The school does not offer an associate's degree program, but I do have enough credits to earn an associate's degree. Is there some way to transfer my credits directly into an associate's degree without involving transferring to a new school to do so, or anything like that?

I'm pretty sure that you can they should apply the same as long as the school is accredited.

2 :

If your online school is properly accredited you can ask the community college what they are willing to do. However, I would expect they will still require you to take some courses with them before you can get a degree from them. If your online school was not regionally accredited you will get nothing that transfers.

About where can I get an on-line associates degree for healthcare

Where can I get an on-line associates degree for healthcare?

I recently took on a vocational program to become a surgical technologist and when I start working I'm going to have little or no time to go back to the university. So I'm going to opt for studying online. I've looked all over and only found associates degrees in health administration which is not what I want to do. I'm becoming a surgical tech to decide what branch of medicine or nursing I want to work in. But so far everything is about administration and the RN programs that are offered require an RN certification and an associates degree. I feel like I'm stuck! I left the university with only two semesters under my belt so I'm still technically a freshman. I need an associates degree and online college doesn't look that varied. Has anyone found an online associates degree program relating to healthcare?

Excelsior College in Albany, NY has an AAS degree program in nursing

leading to a RN. It is done through self-study, computerized testing, and weekend clinicals. It is mostly an LPN to RN program, but they allow other healthcare providers to enroll also. They used to allow surgical techs in but I'm not sure if that's the case anymore. Their website is www.excelsior.edu

Try University of Phoenix Online or DeVry. I just recently graduated from UofP with in associates in Health Administration (they also have bachelor degree programs in health), but I transferred to DeVry and I am pursuing a bachelors in Technical Management with a concentration in Health Service Management (they also have other health care programs). The only reason I transferred is because DeVry is more well known amongst employers and their program is a little more accelerated than UofP's. Unfortunately health care degrees are limited online because anything a little more health care involved may require you to sit in an actual classroom. Good example, I really want to be an RN and this is my long way of getting there until I can actually sit in a classroom environment. So check out those two sites and you may be able to find something that is not geared around health administration.

If you can go ground! Community college or State University! It is a quarter of the price and you learn more. Online schools you learn to write papers, and that is it.

That all depends on the employer - just like people, a corporation or agency will have certain bias towards one side or the other. I have a Masters in Criminal Justice (ONLINE) and I have been doing quite well. Prior to that I obtained a BS in Business (ONLINE) and that got me some nice job offers. The main thing to focus on is on how much you'll pay for school, the school's reputation (UOP is a respected online school BTW), is it regionally accredited (VERY IMPORTANT - UOP is), are you disciplined enough to take online courses vs campus based ones? and more... Employers take most degrees seriously as long as it is from an accredited and reputable school. You won't have to worry too much as your diploma will not mention "online" "distance education" or any derivative of that.

As long as the college or university is regionally accredited any degree you earn should be recognized by any potential employer or other academic institution the same as any degree earned on campus. In fact many colleges do not differentiate between a degree earned on campus or online. That having been said, not all online colleges are viewed the same just as not all campus programs are viewed the same. I would recommend contacting a number of schools to find the best fit for you and your needs (tuition and schedule requirements, career advancement opportunities, etc.) The link below has some great information on regionally accredited Associate degrees in Criminal justice and some colleges to help expand your search: http://www.ecollegefinder.org/online-criminal-justice-associate-degrees.aspx Good luck!
