Completing any college, online or otherwise, is better than nothing. And the fact that you are a stay-at-home mom completing a degree is very effecient. In my opinion, the courses are just as effective as in-class courses and WILL up your chances of getting a good job. However, a ‘really good job’ will come more with experience PLUS a degree.
There is nothing wrong with a Online college, more people are actually doing Online colleges every year.
My friend is doing it and its very convenient.
Doing it online wont hurt your chances either way. Only main difference is that your not gonna have to walk every day to classes ^^
Try to enroll in a university/community college that has a lot of online courses, but is known as a traditional college as well.
The answer to this question depends upon so many things I almost decided not to answer. Many online colleges really are a waste of time and money. For example, many of them tend to be for-profit (my biggest concern), and many of them offer degrees in subject areas that tend to required actual hands on experience, like nursing, IT, engineering, or anything having to do with science or technology. These majors require a good laboratory component involving actual physical apparatus that you just can’t really get through an online program. Watch out for these, especially the for-profit ones.
But online programs can be effective when it comes to certain majors. For example, anything requiring a lot of independent research and the associated writing of papers, and where the physical learning environment is less important, can be comparable to their traditional counterparts. And anyway, job prospects are nearly always better with a degree than without.
Anyway, there are quite a few accredited colleges and universities that offer four-year bachelor’s and two-year masters degree programs online. My suggestion would be to find an accredited school near you, like a community college or public or private university (as long as it’s not one of those proprietary schools) that has both a physical campus and an online degree that you are interested in. That way, if you have to, you can complete a degree from a good school entirely online … but should the opportunity arise, you will also be able to take a traditional class here and there if you want to do that.
