What are the best brick and mortar universities offering online graduate degree programs?

Posted by Admin in Saturday, March 13th 2010 5 comments already

As I am currently living overseas and I will have to stay for a long time, my only chance to get my degree is to enroll in an online program. I used to go to AMU (American Military University) for my Bachelor’s and I was very satisfied with the quality of education they provided but I was just wondering what other universities other people would recommend for someone seeking a graduate program? (preferably in Finance or International Relations)

I am looking for a regionally AND nationally accredited institution that has a real campus. Any suggestions would be appreciated and I would also appreciate if someone could tell me if there are any other important criteria I should be aware of regarding online/distance education.
I am very grateful for providing so many links and I am sure there are many good programs but these are not related to my field of interest, which is International Relations or MBA in Finance.

There are tons of online programs. I personally attended American Intercontinental Univ. and Capella University, and teach for the University of Phoenix. All three are accredited and solid programs. Online courses tend to vary in price, so we could say they are more expensive, but that is relative. Of course they are more expensive than a community college, but less expensive than Harvard. The price range varies.

The key is to find a program that is fully accredited. Is it worth it? YES. My career has boomed since my MBA at nearly 5 years ago. I am nearly finished my PhD through distance education, and I am at the job that I want. I know I wouldn’t be here without the education. If you are looking at work in the U.S., then you need a school that is accredited and recognized by the Dept of Ed. I can give more info on that later.

You should market yourself and not the degree or university. There are many traditional universities offering degrees that can be earned through online methods. Look at that if you are truly concerned with the name of the school. Good luck on your search!

Most of the top accredited online universities and top accredited online colleges owns real campuses at different locations. Regional and national accreditation is important to check the reliability of degree. Several universities also have individual special accreditation for specific programs. I suggest you to check any for specific accreditation. further universities also own memberships of different organizations. Here I am forwarding you some website links. This will give you direct links of many top accredited online universities and colleges offer online degrees as well as on campus degrees. The links are

I’m one of the many Americans who recently got AA degrees. When you think of earning a degree, you probably think of young people. I know I did. It’s so engrained for us, that “college-aged” is a name for 18-22 year olds
