Who Should Get an Online Degree And From What College?
Nov 30th
Reader’s Question:
I am seriously considering getting a degree online since I don’t have much time, what with my job here in Mississippi, but I am just hesitant because I don’t know if the degrees offered are really legitimate. Can anyone enlighten me on this matter?

The Internet is actually like another world on its own, and like in the real world, you cannot just trust everything that you see in there. Some universities found on the Internet would offer to send you a degree for a certain amount that you would have to pay them even though the degrees they offer are not legitimate and would not be accepted in the job market. This kind of universities is what we typically call as diploma mills. You have to be very careful in choosing the online university from where you would want to obtain your degree because in case you get your degree from a diploma mill and use it for employment or promotion, you might get into trouble and be faced with charges of fraud.
But you should not lose faith on online universities even in the presence of these diploma mills. You just have to seek out on the Internet an online university that is recognized by an accrediting agency recognized nationally or by an institutional accrediting agency that is found there in Mississippi. These accrediting agencies should in effect be also recognized by the United States Department of Education. The online universities that give legitimate degrees, along with the degrees they offer, are usually included in the Secretary of Education’s published list of establishments that provide quality higher education.
For more information about this issue, you could just check out the Web site of the U.S. Department of Education.

I’ve been working in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania since I was seventeen and now I am in my mid-twenties. A fellow employee told me that he is taking online degree for college and I was sufficiently intrigued. I wonder if I can do it, too.

Of course you can, Earl – all you need is some patience, more than a little discipline, and much determination. I think you have all three, having been responsible enough to earn at an early age in life. Online education works like a real college program, except that everything is done online. You register online, enroll online, take lessons online, do your home works and case studies online, take exams online, get grades online and finally, earn your degree online. It is very popular for people like you who can not afford to be full-time students and will probably have limited time as well.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has a lot of online degree programs and you should decide first what you would want to take, or which degree you’d like to earn online. Usual choices would be those related to your line of work now, so that you can advance your career in your work.
But you can also pick an online course completely unrelated to your work now in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – it is really up to you. Be prepared, Earl to even work harder for your online college degree. Online education system lets you pace yourself, so you can actually finish an online degree in just a matter of six months. Imagine that, Earl, in just six months you will be a full-pledged college graduate! Of course, those six months will be hellish.
