Answer 1

I took classes through Kaplan College online.  Enjoyed it.  Also worked full-time will going.

Go for it.  You can always drop classes or change later, but I don't think many people have ever regretted furthering education.

Answer 2

They are very expensive. I took classes with Grand Canyon University.

Taking online classes seems really easy, but it is very challenging. I don't know if you are aware but you have to post messages a certain number of times per week, they have to be substantial, you have to resond to others' posts even when you think there is nothing to say; you might have AT LEAST one paper to do each week. and you have to work in "groups" which is sometimes difficult if others are not willing to cooperate or participate minimally.  

Answer 3

I would recommend contacting a number of accredited schools that have online programs to learn more about them to find the best fit for you and your needs. Too often people simply choose to go with the first program they find rather than investigating their options. Just as you wouldn't attend the first school you look at in person without exploring your options the same should be true online. The beauty of taking classes online is that you aren't limited by geography. This site has some good information and some schools to help expand your search:
