Online schools – real ones, not diploma mills – tend to be more expensive than campus based programs, not less. Your least expensive option in terms of any sort of reputable degree is to first go to your local community college, get your associates, and then transfer to one of your state’s public universities to complete your bachelors. You get a lower price on tuition at these schools because you’re from the state.

U of Phoenix is very expensive (nearly as much as Harvard), and some employers really dislike it. It is appropriately accredited, though. It is a real school. It’s just not considered academically very strong, and it’s so famous for being kind of sucky that some employers refuse to hire its graduates.

If you must go to school online, first check to see if any of your state’s community colleges and public universities have online degrees. A lot of them do, and that’s often a relatively inexpensive option. But remember, their online tuition may be more expensive than if you went to the campus based class, so check both before you decide.

In general, you’ll do best re: employment options if you go to a school that is knwon for its campus based programs, and isn’t known either for being online or for-profit. So skip U of Phoenix, Kaplan, Capella, Devry, ITT Tech and things like that. Instead, look at UMass Amherst, U Maryland, Penn State, Northeastern, Bentley, U Florida, Ball State, U Nebraska Kearney, Iowa State, Upper Iowa University, Tiffin University, and the other decent schools that offer online degrees.

In fact, a private school that is reputable that offers online degrees at fairly low cost (compared to most online schools) is Southern New Hampshire University. Nothing wrong with them.

online education can be expensive too so make sure you look at all cost associated with your schooling (administration fees, exam fees, text book fees…) – make sure you ask the right question.
when you select a school, make sure it is a reputable one and make sure the industry will recognise the diploma / degree you’ll get.

Phoenix is good and well known. having said that, the business managers may be skeptical about a degree earned online (you do it alone, are you the one who did the assignment and exam, are you a team player…) it might be worth talking to a few HR managers / headhunters or recruitment specialist – or best, managers in the industry you want ot work in- to assess their view / feeling toward hiring a graduate from an online degree.

Most universities or polytechnics will offer online education. so try to pick a good university, reputable in the field you are interested in, then look up their online offering.
Most universities will have online courses that are running on a “synchroneous” basis, meaning there is a fixed start date and end date and also fixed schedule online team meetings or class session. others will be more flexible. select carefully what you can do according to your schedule.
At exam time, some universities will ask you to take the exam in their facilities. other will ask you to find a suitable invigilation environment. this can be tricky and/or expensive.
if you consider online education, look also at other countries. UK has many online degrees that are excellent (warwick business school, Edimburg…)

In Canada, the School of Business at SAIT polytechnics (Calgary, Alberta) offers a very good Business Admin Management diploma program, fully online and in partnership with Grant McEwan. it is solid. The beauty is that after getting a diploma, you can continue into a degree with another institution (Athabasca if you want to continue online) you may want to check it out. they also offer general business courses online, and they also offer the accounting diploma which leads to the CGA designation.
check there website and take the little test they have to determine if online education is something for you.

good luck
