it is past time to start enforcing our laws and reducing illegal immigration. they are a drain on our limited resources and criminals. that is not racist or zenophobic… it is fact. we also need to look into curbing legal immigration so that the current 10M plus out of work Americans can have those jobs.

I wonder how she can flat out lie to Americans with a smile on her face.

Comment on Is a degree from an Online University as good as one from your state University? by Ranto

No. Employers will not respect an online college degree.

There is a big difference between being accredited and being respected.

Take your time researching online universities. The most important thing is that it is accreditied. There are many online programs like Kaplan,National University and University of Phoneix that specialize in online and accelerated degrees. Many private universities like Chapman, Hope International and Grand Canyon University and some state extended ed programs like CSUDH offer online degrees as well. That is great that they will accept past units for electives. If you are able to get your degree online, go ahead. There are many advantages. Many people spent their younger days communting to school and completing their degrees the traditional way. They want a change and more flexibility with their schedule. There may be some biased employers that may hold the view online degrees are bought, not earned. If a student is paying big $$$$ to earn their degree online, it must be bought. In actuality, online univeristies require a contract binding the student to the program’s goals. In order for the Degree to be earned, the student needs to have a high GPA and required thesis or project. There is a difference between private industry and the public sector in qualifications. Performance vs. achievement. If an online degree was earned from a university that also awards traditional degrees, the employer will not know the degree was earned online anyway. Good luck!

As long as the college you attend is regionally accredited any degree you earn should be accepted by potential employers or other academic institutions. In fact nowadays more and more colleges are offering online programs to complement their campus programs as they realize the benefits online programs provide students and the schools themselves. Most of these colleges do not differentiate between a degree earned online or on campus.

My biggest recommendation would be to contact a number of colleges to find the best fit for you and your needs (schedule, tuition, career plans, professor interaction). I would also be sure to ask the schools directly about their accreditation and if they offer any assistance in finding their graduates jobs.

This site has some good information on regionally accredited education degrees and some colleges to help begin/expand your search:

Good Luck!

Generally they’re not as well respected, which is sad because they often are just as difficult, and are in no way a cheap alternative. If you can do night school at an in-person University that will be much better for your career.

It sounds like you want to do your classes online because of their convenience to your schedule. If you don’t have the time to attend a traditional class than online classes are great. The costs of most Online Universities are very high. Chances are that your local state university or community college does offer some courses online. They may even have programs that can be done completely online.
Since you are worried about how your degree will be looked at by employers, I would recommend speaking with an Enrollment Counselor at the Colleges or Universities you are interested in attending. After finding out how each institution can help you obtain your degree, contact prospective employers and ask them if they accept degrees from the intuition(s) you are looking at attending.

much of the coursework could be completed online. The Student Teaching part will need to be arranged at a real ground-based school, along with proper supervision.

Look for online schools with NCATE accreditation (try Capella)

Some employers oddly enough will help subsidize an online education, yet somehow don’t recognize an online degree….. go figure…

as with anything else…. some recognize the degree, others do not.

I think it will be difficult to recieve an education degree online. After completing your bachelor’s degree, you will have to get certified and (most likely) go on to recieve your master’s degree. Also, hands on experience is a requirement for most education majors, which includes up to 3 hours per week for some universities/colleges (at a daycare center or school), as well as student teaching during your senior year. For most states, a larger than normal amount of credits are required to recieve the degree. Although some online classes would be fine, I wouldn’t advise going the “full online student” route.

Also, if you’re paying to attend a school, you might as well make use of its engaging professors who have much experience in the field and often offer invaluable advice in class lectures. These professors are the ones who will write you recommendations in the future (which are also important). If you are a full-time online student, you’ll just be a name on a paper to them.
