I’ve just finished my online Bachelor’s Degree not long ago, and now waiting for my cert. It’s fast to finish the course (1 and a half year for my course) provided you do not fail in any modules. But self-discipline and good time management is very important. Just a small piece of advise for those who consider taking an online degree.

@Yasser – Me too
@Danny – You’re right it is a commercial listing, but it has in place some ‘relatively good’ online schools. OEDB is a good place to start if you’re looking for a 3rd party directory.

DePaul is probably too traditional to be considered an online University… this is a link to the criteria used for OEDB: http://oedb.org/rankings/methodology

EarnMyDegree.Com appears to be a commercial listing service, not a comprehensive directory of all online degree programs. Many traditional universities (including mine – DePaul University) offer online degrees but are not listed on the site.

Someone seriously considering an online degree ought to find a more comprehensive directory, or search representative traditional universities as well as sites like this.

This is interesting… I’ve always wondered about these online education programs. The only way I could picture myself doing this is if I’m over 35 and need to work full time and study. Then maybe I would consider it as an option. But as a young person I prefer the real college experience + my education.

@brian: Thanks for feedback – I think it would be valuable too, but it would be too many to list though…. and they would change from time to time, hence I left it out

This is great information. If you could have listed the pricing for the online degree programs, that would be quite useful as well. Probably, cost comparison would be quite valuable.
