Virginia Said:

How does an Online Dr. Degree compare with one earned from a Traditional Univerisity?

We Answered:

As long as the school is accredited and they do not have a reputation in academia as being a "diploma mill" you should be fine. Look at the different programs and schools and once you've found accredited programs that you like, call some PhD level instructors or HR managers and find out what their impressions are of the school.

Comparing online schools: Ashford and AIU?

We Answered:

It's easier to check a school's accreditation than to try to locate them on diploma mill lists. Not being on a diploma mill list doesn't mean it's not a mill. Not being on the accredited list DOES mean it's not accredited. Check whether a school is accredited at http://www.chea.org/search/

Ashford University
400 N. Bluff Blvd., P.O.Box 2967
Clinton, IA 52733-2967
http://www.ashford.edu/home/

is regionally accredited by NorthCentral Association. They are a real college with a real campus that happens to teach online. They charge $354 per semester hour for undergraduate courses. (120 hours for a bachelor's degree would be $42,480) http://www.ashford.edu/student/forms/Tui… A bachelor's degree will take 4 years to complete if you're starting from the beginning. Ashford is unranked by US News.

American InterContinental University
6600 Peachtree-Dunwoody Road, 500 Embassy Row
Atlanta, GA 30328
http://www.aiuniv.edu/

Is regionally accredited by SACS. They have a campus presence in several cities around the country but are primarily an online provider. They charge $339 per semester hour so a bachelor's degree costs about $40,690. https://mycampus.aiu-online.com/schools/… AIU is "unranked" by US News.

Now, the University of Massachusetts teaches online too (as does about every other college in the US). They are not only regionally but professionally accredited as well. A bachelor's degree from UMass takes four years (same as every other legit college in the US) and will run you about $300 per semester hours (less than those others) or roughly $36,000 for a bachelor's degree. London Times says they're the 45th best university IN THE WORLD. USNews says they're ranked #102 tier 1 national (Amherst). Cheaper, same amount of time, better reputation...

CalState teaches online too. http://www.cvc.edu/students/programs They're much better respected than either of your choices and they too cost less (if you happen to be from California).

There are 1000's of options out there for online degrees that are both legitimate and well reputed. You should explore all of your options before you toss down $30,000-$50,000 and 4 years of your time.

Take a look at the list at Petersons http://www.petersons.com/distancelearnin… there are some outstanding choices out there for you.

"how long each takes to complete" is not a valid question. A bachelor's degree requires about 120 semester hours of credit. You can do that in 3 years (no summers) or 10 years (very part-time) and any amount of time in between. Any college that offers anything much faster (unless you've already been to college or have passed equivalency exams (not 'life experience')) is likely a scam. There's a reason that it's called "a 4-year degree".

Add: for Desert Fox who claims accreditation by a regional accreditor doesn't mean anything; that's the sort of advice that will cost you tens of thousands of dollars and years of wasted time. Summarily ignore any such suggestion you get and mark anyone giving it as an unreliable source. Regional accreditation (NorthCentral is a regional accreditor) is the gold standard in the United States for degree acceptance - period. If your choice isn't RA then you can expect the utility of your degree to be minimal if existent at all.

There are other considerations such as reputation of the school, but regional accreditation should be the first and foremost of your considerations. Without it, employers may not accept your degree as valid, other colleges won't transfer credit, and you will have pretty much wasted your money.

And, credits don't transfer from undergrad to grad school anywhere. Not anywhere - period. Credits from Harvard or Oxford undergrad won't transfer to grad school either.

The conclusion DF is making is close to correct - his reason is dead wrong. It's all about the academic reputation of those schools and nothing about their accreditation status. University of Arizona (for example) is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of Northcentral Association and they're a pretty good school. http://www.chea.org/search/actionInst.as…

Edwin Said:

Is that primavera online high school easier than most online schools?

We Answered:

I am taking classes at Primavera right now,
I've never been to any other online school, but I would say that Primavera is very easy. Every 6 weeks, you take two courses. Each day you read, watch videos, take a quiz, discuss with the teachers and other students about what you are learning, you have a writing project that you work on each day, and on the 5th day of the week you take an exam on all that you learned. It might sound like a lot, but it's really worth it.
If you are a good student, you can take more than two courses.

If you have anymore questions let me know. :)

I'm looking to get my California Real Estate License Online?

We Answered:

I will make you a bet; that you cannot pass the state test
in one try by taking only an on-line realty school program.

Here's why. I attended a college in Sacramento and I had
dozens of questions of the instructor per class i needed.

I moved to AZ and passed the test on the first try since
I had attended a class and asked dozens of questions
and listened to others' questions

Without being able to ask questions of the instructor,
it is pretty much impossible to understand the minutea
between different agency statuses. Fiduciary is the
critical part of RE that you must master.

When you pass some school's test and the state test and
seek a broker, I suggest you seriously consider becoming
an exclusive buyer's agent. NO listing and no seeking commissions from both a seller and a buyer.

Luck
