Question by Thora: What are good online colleges to receive a bachelor’s degree?
I have heard of some degrees that were earned through online courses that are for profit only that are frowned on by employers and companies and I’ve heard of ones that are just as good as going on campus, any recommendations? I would love to attend a college on campus but being a military spouse it’s not easy to stick around in one spot long enough to attend a college on campus. Thank you.

The best online programs are at the best colleges. Almost everyone teaches online these days and include the likes of Harvard, UC-Berkeley, UMass, Columbia, UTexas, and 1000s more.
Of course, the best colleges generally cost more than the lesser colleges but not so when comparing the for-profits. A class at Harvard or UC-Berkeley online will cost you less than one from UPhoenix or AIU. You’ll get better transfer reception from the first two than the others.
My favorite search tool for online programs is at Petersons.com http://www.petersons.com/distancelearning/code/search.asp You might be really surprised what’s available to you completely online.
Which is best depends a lot on what you want to get a degree in. For example, Boston U offers their master’s and doctorate in music online. Not so useful unless you want to study music.
UMass (http://www.umassonline.net/) has an awesome selection of fully online programs as an example for you.
UMaryland has a nice selection of online programs AND has a campus on many military bases. http://www.umuc.edu/mil/mil_home.shtml
Many public colleges will give you in-state tuition as a military spouse – that can make a huge price difference for you.
Bottom line though is to pick the best college you can get into and can afford. Remember, the first couple years are far less expensive if done at a community college. Cerro Coso Community College online (http://cconline.cerrocoso.edu/) is priced well and has a huge military student population.
Also keep in mind that military education offices have CLEP, DANTES, and ECE exams available. You can knock out a lot of credit by self-study and testing.
