Has anyone had any luck with getting a degree online? I have looked into it but I'm just not convinced yet that the level of information would be the same. Any thoughts?

From what I've read the standards are the same. Even if the coursework is slightly different, bear in mind that the universities have to be accredited in the first place to even offer the qualification and go through that process whether it's online or on campus. Uni's are moving with the times. Think how cost effective it is for them too not having to supply equipment or classrooms. Your degree will be just as valid at the end of the day. How often do you hear anyone say I have a BA in whatever and then follow up with where they got it from? Only Harvard types do that.

So true...I don't think anyone has ever asked me. Just what it's in and that's the end of the conversation.

I rest my case.  Nobody really cares where you learn it. What matters ultimately is whether you can apply what you've learned. Heck, you can take courses at MIT absolutely free that cover much of same undergraduate and graduate work you'd pay thousands. If you want the knowledge and aren't fussed about having the piece of paper, it's there for the taking. You don't even need to register to access the materials.

Glad to help. I have lots of free online study sites in my bookmarks. If you don't find anything that catches your eye there, let me know and I'll give you some more you could try.

You don't need money for them LOL. I said FREE online study. The courses cost nothing but your own time and energy.

Call me fickle, but I want proof I did something!
Is that dumb?

No it's not dumb but it's a lot more expensive.
