I want to obtain my BS in Computer Science (or one of its related fields). I need this to be an accredited college (I plan to use this to get my MBA). I need this to be an on-line college so I can attend class on my schedule. Here is my question: out of all the choices for *on line and accredited* colleges which is the most prestigious? That is, which will help me the most during job interviews and in my attempts to obtain entry into traditional MBA programs? |

Based on U.S. News & World Report rankings, one of the most prestigious universities to offer online degree programs is Rochester Institute of Technology. According to U.S. News, RIT tied with Villanova for first-place in academic reputation among comparable "regional" universities in the north. For more information: http://www.rit.edu/%7E930www/Proj/NewsEvents/2001/Sep01/ranks.html To qualify for RIT's online degree program (B.S. with an emphasis in Applied Computing), you do need to have completed some college already (AA degree or equivalent units). http://www.distancelearning.rit.edu/inquire/programs_courses/undergrad_degree/flex.cfm About.com's page on distance learning lists some other online CS degree programs. http://distancelearn.about.com/cs/compinfoscibach/ There are some fairly well-known, "name" schools that offer online CS degrees, including: University of Maryland http://www.marylandonline.org/db/programs/by_id/23 University of Hawaii http://aln.hawaii.edu/programs/ics_ba.html Florida State University http://online.fsu.edu/student/degree/explore/program/undergr/index.html For more information on selecting the online program that's right for you, check out some resources at U.S. News' web site: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/elearning/elhome.htm http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/elearning/articles/quality.htm Search terms: "computer science" "online degree" programs ://www.google.com/search?q=%22computer+science%22+%22online+degree%22+programs&btnG=Google+Search&hl=en&lr=&client=googlet I hope this helps. Best of luck on finding a good program. |

Hello Iwoh, What a great idea. I wish I could "go to school" until the day I stop breathing! Here is more information for you. The University of Phoenix was one of the first models for online University studies. You can check out the website at this url: http://www.uoponline.com/ "Founded in 1976, University of Phoenix was among the first accredited universities to provide college degree programs via the Internet, starting in 1989. Today, our comprehensive web-based program delivers unparalleled convenience and flexibility to over 37,600 students in their pursuit of bachelor's, master's or doctoral degrees. We offer complete degree programs in Business, Management, Technology, Education and Nursing." Good Luck to you and Happy Learning! tlspiegel-ga |
