Accredited Online Bachelor Degree
Q: My niece has asked me to help her find a way for her to finish
her Bachelor's Degree in Human Resources after recently having a baby. I
suggested she might find online courses a viable alternative for her and
I have looked at a few programs online. She is asking if University of
Phoenix has a good program and reputation for online degrees. Anyone
have any experience or insight into this?
A:The University of Phoenix has a solid, though hardly "outstanding",
reputation for offering fully accredited degrees via online and
site-based programs. It is a very large school with a physical presence
in most major US metropolitan areas in addition to its comprehensive
virtual campus. It is run for-profit and its focus is mainly upon
practical fields like business and education. As such, UOP relies
heavily upon part-time, untenured faculty who are practitioners in their
fields rather than the academic and research-oriented professors and TAs
who typically teach at traditional institutions. The price that is paid
for convenience is found in UOP's relatively high tuition and fee
structure (presently $475/c.h.-undergraduate), but it remains one of
many options that is worthy of serious consideration.
Though less well-publicized, many traditional universities also offer
fully online programs that are often accompanied by a greater prestige
factor and lower tuition bill than schools like UOP. In the area of
Human Resources, for example, Indiana State University
(http://www.indstate.edu/degreelink/) offers a fully online degree
completion program for the in-state rate of $208/c.h. or $2878/semester
regardless of residency, provided no on-campus courses are taken
concurrently. Kansas State University, UMass-Amherst, and Drexel are
just a few among the numerous other schools offering online bachelor's
degree completion programs in virtually every field with graduate degree
programs likely even more numerous. Schools like UOP meet many
learners' needs for convenient accredited degrees, but one should be as
careful in considering among all of the degree program options available
online as they would in considering programs in the brick and mortar
environment.
In regards to an online bachelor's degree in HR your niece might want to
