I'd probably go to a community college.
I'm going to Devry online for my engineering degree, which is about the only degree that has any value their, I've read that their other degree programs just don't hold any weight.
My bad, should I take classes from community college or is there a online school that is pretty good?
If you live in a metro area, find a community colleges; many of these offer associate programs online, and a few offer bachelor programs online. If this isn't an option (which may certainly be the case), online universities are perfectly fine. As long as it is regionally accredited, it doesn't really matter (national accreditation is less relevant). There is essentially no difference between earning an A.A. at Kaiser or Phoenix, though each school will have different specialized programs if you decide to get a terminal/professional degree to get into the labor force, ranging from technical certifications to a master's. If you become interested in a specific program, make sure the program is accredited as well.
If you're interested in transferring to a university, make sure that the university will recognize an A.A. by your chosen online school, and if you're not interested in completing the A.A. online, make sure the university accepts credits from the online school; accreditation is your biggest concern with for-profit institutions. Ideally, you should avoid for-profit schools. Their credits and degrees are generally less respected in both academia and the professional world even when they are "regionally accredited." They also often charge more per credit hour, and other expenses tend to be higher as well.
Don't do college classes online. College isn't like highschool where nothing matters, you have to actually learn what you're doing for your future job and you can't do that sitting in your room unless your job requires nothing but computer skills. community college is the way to go. XilePrincess
True but this is just general ed classes mostly stuff not having anything to do with his career choice online is the way to go. And yeah community is the way to go.
Check and see if you can take general courses online at your local community college. There will more likely than not be online courses available. It's worth checking out, anyway.
