Good Online Schools? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Can anyone recommend any good online schools? There are some minor things I want to pursue and I think taking some courses online would help speed things up..

My campus doesn't offer online classes and none of the classes they're offering in the summer this year will go towards the credits I need for graduation...

TYIA!

What about taking online classes from a local community college? That way, you would be sure they are legit and will transfer. Not all colleges have the same accrediation, so not all credits transfer (does that make sense?).

I attend Kaplan University and Love it. The professors are great and the academic advisors are wondeful too. I am going for my A.S. Degree in Early Childhood

Herkimer County Community College has a wonderful online curriculum.

I completely understand what you mean.. I looked into UMUC and my college takes their credits.. You just have to find the classes and then fill out a form and they'll contact the other school and see the equivalent of it..

How credible are they? I don't want to take this venture lightly..

Well they seem pretty credible to me. They are one of the top online schools. I would hope that I am not going for my own good and making straight A's, which is hard work. They are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of North Central Association of Colleges and School here is more info

BYU has really good online courses and is accredited. You really need to talk to your school counsler to see what colleges you can use online credits from.

I have already discussed this with them...They don't really pick certain schools they take credits from. They base it on what all is learned within the classes, how long the classes run, how it mirrors what they teach here, etc..
