If you go to an online university, choose one that is part of your state university. For-profit schools like University of Phoenix are not respected and are too expensive.
Whether it is better to study online or in a classroom often depends on the field of study.
Community college, at least for the firs two years [60 credit hours]. It will be much cheaper and your grades and coursework will not be questioned.
As for a majors – you really can’t go wrong with a business degree, especially accounting, or a health care degree. Both cover a lot of territory and specialties.
Here is an idea – Medical insurance billing and coding is a good field – all health care offices have to deal with it and they all hate it. If your local CC offers a program in this that is a great field for you to train in.
For your convenience below is the comparison of both Community College & Online University so that you can figure out which will be suitable for you.
Traditional Community Colleges
=======================
Most people are familiar with the traditional classroom setting of a college or university. Students meet at set times and interact directly with teachers and classmates to complete projects and assignments. The traditional college classroom also creates a structured learning experience for students uncomfortable working alone.
Here are some other aspects unique to traditional colleges
- Commute to and from campus
- Direct contact with instructors and classmates for immediate feedback
- Textbooks and supplemental materials must be purchased
- Larger class sizes means limited one-on-one interaction with instructors
- Class performance partially based on student participation, usually verbal
- Need to network with other classmates to get notes if you miss a class
Distance Learning Online Education
==========================
Distance Learning Online Education try to simulate traditional learning through “virtual classrooms”, most allow students to customize their own work and study schedules. But because there are no instructors in front of the students to keep them on task, online education also requires self-motivation and self-discipline.
Here are some other aspects unique to Distance Learning Online Education
- Written response to assignments and classes helps less outgoing students participate
- No commute to campus
- Interact with classmates around the country
- No set class schedule
- Lower tuition fees
- No textbooks needed
There are many different types of programs. However, I wanted to point out as well that many local community colleges offer entire programs online with little or no in-person components. I did my masters through University of Arizona and all my classes were online but one. I would check out your local schools to see what kind of online options they have and talk to an academic adviser at the school.
In my experience online degrees are treated basically the same as a degree from a campus program. I would make sure that any schools you are looking at are accredited and I would look into a number of schools so that you can decide which one is the best fit for you, your tuition requirements, schedule and reputation. I did a search for information and found http://www.onlinecollege247.com
There have been widespread reports of students hiring impostors to take online courses for them. That means that any online program is considered questionable. As a former job recruiter, I can say that we would never hire anyone with any online degree. There are some colleges that offer blended programs with a mix of part online/part classroom attendance. At least those are likely to be acceptable provided they are through a public or non-profit school. Your local public community college may offer some blended courses. Some colleges allow you to take online courses for a very limited portion of a bachelors degree. Typically, they might allow you to have up to 12 semester hours of credit counting towards a bachelors degree.
Avoid any for-profit school or any online-only college since many of them are scams, and none of them are well respected on a resume. I would automatically reject any resume that listed University of Phoenix, Kaplan, Brown-Mackie, Full Sail, APUS, ICS, Everest, Ashford, DeVry, Capella, etc. In general, if a college advertises online or on TV, you probably should avoid it.
