I recently earned my Bachelor’s degree and am now working full-time. I am interested in earning my M. Ed. or a M. A in Education but the only problem is that I work full-time from m-f until about 6pm. I was looking into an online program, but none of the colleges that ive checked offer online degrees for the area that I want. I am extremely hesitant to go to an online university (i. e. UoPhoenix, Kaplan College, etc. ) due to the fact that Ive read a lot of negative things about them. I was wondering if anyone knows of a reputable college that offers an online masters degree in education (secondary level teaching not administration or elementary level). I know the most practical thing would be to actually go to a school and attend classes in order to get my degree, but I really cant afford to quit my job in order to go to school and Im not sure if night classes would work for me either. Thanks.
Look for brick-and-mortar institution(preferably a state school) that offers an accredited program online. This way, nobody will look down on your degree since it isn’t from an all-online school. I think the state schools charge relatively less too, since they aren’t always for-profit institutions, and so this might out work out to be cheaper too.
All the best !
