How efficient are online colleges?

Question

How equivalent are they to regular colleges? if you go for a BA in criminal justice, is it as effective as degree that wasnt given online? which online colleges are good?

Answer 1

I found a site for you to check out.

In my experience, I have found that on line

colleges are the same as regular colleges, the only

difference is that you learn in the privacy of your own

home and not sitting in a class room.

The best news is many employers accept on line degrees.

Best of  luck to you.

Answer 2

Like life, there are good ones and bad ones. The bad ones are... well, bad! The good ones will work your **** off! It is easier (just takes longer) to get your degree with your but in a seat in a class room. Online typically costs more, but,l you get there faster. I went back to school in June, 2005. I went to AIU-Online. They are fully accredited. I earned my BS Business Adim/Marketing in Dec. '06. Not good enough, market is saturated with those types. I went back to AIU-Online in APril, 07. I will graduate this summer with a BS in Computer Science. Hard? Darn straight! 9 credits every 5 weeks. Two research papers each week, two live lectures each week, a group project in week 3 or 4 of eachcourse. Plan on taking about 20 to 30 hours per week to do the study reading, research and writing.
