Are               you               interested               in               going               back               to               complete               a               bachelor's               degree               that               was               never               finished,               or               perhaps               even               begin               working               on               one               for               the               first               time?

Online               education               is               likely               to               be               an               attractive               option-with               a               format               that               is               more               conducive               to               a               full               time               job               and               a               student               body               where               the               mid-career               professional               dominates.

Online               degrees               certainly               have               their               advantages,               but               beware,               for               there               are               many               serious               negatives               with               going               this               route.

What               you               may               want               to               consider               is               an               online               degree               from               a               traditional               college               or               university.

Let's               give               some               air               to               a               very               controversial               subject.

Online               degrees               have               a               stigma               attached               to               them,               and               in               many               instances               that               stigma               is               deserved.

Non-traditional               institutions               that               provide               primarily               online               education               such               as               the               University               of               Phoenix,               Capella,               Walden,               Western               Governors               and               Argosy               tend               to               have               minimal               entrance               requirements,               low               academic               rigor,               and               weak               faculty               members.

Many               other               online               only               programs               cannot               even               offer               the               regional               accreditation               that               a               university               needs               to               be               deemed               legitimate.

Completing               one               of               these               degrees               may               require               little               mental               effort               (though               they               can               still               strain               the               pocketbook               quite               significantly).

And               once               you               earn               your               degree,               your               resume               may               draw               skepticism               from               potential               employers.
               But               the               academic               landscape               of               online               education               is               in               flux,               and               more               and               more               traditional               schools               are               getting               in               to               the               act.

Opting               for               an               online               program               at               a               traditional               college               gives               you               the               flexibility               of               online               learning,               but               you'll               earn               a               degree               from               an               established               school               and               enjoy               all               the               clout               that               comes               with               it.

If               you're               serious               about               returning               to               finish               your               bachelor's,               and               you               want               to               do               it               online,               consider               the               online               programs               from               one               of               these               five               traditional               universities:
               University               of               Maryland,               University               College
               The               University               of               Maryland               got               in               to               the               distance               education               game               early,               and               has               been               a               pioneer               in               online               programs               for               quite               some               time.

They               maintain               one               of               the               largest               online               learning               programs               in               the               country.

UMUC               offers               a               wide               variety               of               undergraduate               majors,               and               is               accredited               by               the               Middle               States               Association               of               Colleges               and               Schools,               a               regional               accrediting               body.

               University               of               Denver,               University               College
               Perhaps               you're               interested               in               an               online               program               that               offers               more               of               an               intimate               experience.

If               that's               the               case,               you               might               want               to               look               at               the               Bachelor               of               Arts               Completion               Program               (BACP)               at               the               University               of               Denver.

The               BACP,               a               relatively               new               addition,               offers               non-traditional               students               the               opportunity               to               complete               a               BA               in               one               of               five               broad               focal               areas:               communication,               leadership,               public               policy/social               sciences,               science               and               technology,               and               global               studies.
               The               University               of               Denver               is               accredited               by               the               North               Central               Association               of               Colleges               and               Schools,               a               regional               accrediting               body.

               Duquesne               University
               Similar               to               DU,               Duquesne               is               another               older,               small               to               mid-sized               private               university               that               has               entered               into               the               online               only               marketplace               for               undergraduate               education.

Their               School               of               Leadership               and               Professional               Advancement               offers               BS               degrees               in               ten               different               areas,               most               with               a               businessy               feel               to               them.

               Penn               State's               "World               Campus"               program               represents               another               major               public               institution               branching               into               the               world               of               online               degrees.

Penn               State's               online               offerings               are               eclectic.

Twelve               different               undergraduate               majors               are               offered,               some               quite               specific               and               some               very               broad.

All               are               either               BA               or               BS               degrees               (which               is               a               plus,               see               comments               below).
               Penn               State               is               also               accredited               by               the               Middle               States               Commission               on               Higher               Education.

The               majority               of               these               have               an               agricultural/environmental               focus,               but               they               also               have               more               traditional               liberal               arts               offerings               in               political               science,               anthropology,               and               general               liberal               studies.

Another               dozen               traditional               fields               are               available               for               a               student               to               minor               in               as               well.

               Lastly,               here               are               a               few               other               considerations               that               you               want               to               keep               in               mind               when               looking               for               an               online               degree               program:
               If               there               are               no               standards               for               credit               transfers,               the               school               is               probably               academically               weak
               Online               programs               are               notorious               for               giving               you               as               much               transfer               credit               as               possible,               some               even               going               so               far               as               to               offer               credit               based               upon               "life               experience."               If               you're               shocked               by               how               much               credit               they               say               they               can               offer               you,               and               how               quickly               you               can               earn               your               degree,               it's               a               sure               sign               of               weak               academics.

Earning               any               degree               of               quality               means               hard               work,               and               if               they               suggest               otherwise               to               you,               you're               probably               talking               to               a               degree               factory.
               Check               for               incestuousness
               See               if               you               can               read               faculty               biographies               of               instructors               in               the               program               (if               that               information               isn't               easily               accessible               on               their               web               site,               it's               a               bad               sign).

Do               many               of               them               hold               degrees               from               that               institution?

If               so,               an               immediate               red               flag               is               raised.

By               and               large,               if               the               instructors               are               degreed               from               the               school               they               are               teaching               at,               it's               indicative               of               low               quality               and               poor               competitiveness.

Beyond               that,               do               the               instructors               seem               qualified               to               teach,               or               are               their               credentials               vague               or               possibly               exaggerated?
               Ask               how               your               diploma               will               read
               Remember,               stigma               is               real               and               you               want               to               avoid               it               as               best               you               can.

Would               you               rather               have               a               diploma               that               said               "Harvard               University"               or               "Harvard               University               Online               Edition"...easy               choice,               right?

To               that               end,               favor               programs               where               the               wording               on               the               diploma               earned               online               doesn't               vary               from               the               wording               on               the               diploma               earned               on               campus.

Also,               traditional               degrees               such               as               the               BA               and               the               BS               are               preferable               to               BPS               (Bachelor               of               Professional               Studies)               or               any               other               more               novel               acronyms.
               Understand               accreditation
               Regional               accreditation               is               the               only               kind               of               accreditation               that               matters,               and               it               is               an               absolute               must               for               any               program.

If               the               program               advertises               some               sort               of               accreditation               with               a               federal               or               state               education               department,               or               an               accreditation               with               an               association               of               online               schools,               they're               selling               you               snake               oil.

I               could               start               my               own               accrediting               body               tomorrow               and               accept               anyone               I               like.

But               that               accreditation               wouldn't               have               any               value;               only               regional               accreditation               has               value.
               Conclusion
               Returning               to               complete               a               college               degree               is               a               serious               decision,               and               a               very               admirable               undertaking.

Recognize               that               it               won't               be               easy,               and               avoid               the               temptation               to               choose               any               program               offering               the               path               of               least               resistance.

Obtaining               any               degree               of               value               will               require               hard               work               and               sacrifice.

If               you're               thinking               about               an               online               degree,               consider               earning               it               from               a               traditional               university               that               offers               online               programs               on               the               side.

Consider               the               schools               listed               here,               or               any               others               that               fit               a               similar               profile,               for               there               are               many               quality               options               out               there.

And               remember               to               ask               the               tough               questions;               anything               less               would               be               a               disservice               to               yourself.
