Steve,

Well, I do want to earn a degree from my home state too. My home town is Fairfax, Virginia; and currently at Camp Pendleton, California for duty. There are many different schools offer degree online from Virginia.

- Strayer University one of the biggest one.
- Old Dominon University (Which you already mentioned it)
- Virginia Tech
- There are more, you can search them through www.military.com; I forgot my password so I cannot pull out the whole roster.

If you are looking for Networking degree; Strayer U is a good one.

Semper Fidelis

 

In VA, distance learning degree via VVU

As I recall, back in 2001, I had read about SHEV [or SHREV](Virginia's Higher Education Gurus for the State) and the proposal for a "Viginia Virtual University" (VVU) was approved. This particular institution was to get all the State Schools to ante up, provide their course information, and allow the student a central location to work towards their degree (almost like a credit bank).

State colleges were to buy into the idea of VVU's degree granting and degree completion program with the understanding that they would get the student's tuition for the courses which the student completed. The VVU would grant the degree, like Charter Oak, Excelsior, and TESC.

This would allow you to get your degree online, by taking any of the state courses, which would be plugged into a master database of degrees. This would allow a student to complete the 'knowledge chunks" required for the particular degree you seek. Sort of like the Academic Common Market down South.

Funding was approved for VVU and they were supposed to be working by 2003. So far, the online compendium of state courses is the only progress that I've seen from VA.
