    Hi,

    I am new to this forum and very impressed for all of you are there to help everyone out of their problems.It gave me the courage to share my problems with you so that I could get some kind of solutions.

    I have a Bachelor Degree(in IT) from India. Now in the U.S I want to my Master's.I found so many Online Universities with so many degrees. But before making any decision I would like to know :

    1. How much these online degrees are valued?Are they of equal value if some do the same course from campus?

    2. I have inquired with some Univ the masters cost about $20k. I dont have so much money to invest a s I'm not working now.Is there any univ that cost a bit less?

    Thank you in advance.

    You did not say what you were interested instudying, unless the (IT) was the clue.

    As to your questions:

    this all depends on the school, some are very good, and identicle with the on-campus version, others not. Some are better.

    Depedning on the school and the program figure between $3,000 to $100,000 (+). State supported schools in the state of your residence will generally be lower cost. Privet schools higher. For a guidance see: http://bain4weeks.com/mastermenu.html

    American College of Computer & Information Sciences
    American InterContinental University Online
    Athabasca University
    Bellevue University
    Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania

    Hi Barsana: Welcome to the board, and good luck in your search. Just in case you missed it, there is also an IT and computer related degree forum here. (I often look at stuff and don't see it, so please don't think I think something's wrong with you because I'm stating the obvious.) I hope you can find expert advice here and a program that suits your needs and your finances. Janko

    Hello Mike,


    Can you please tell me which universities online degrees are valued as much as campus programs? I would like to do Masters in computer Science / information systems or MBA. Please help.

    Thank you in advance.

    In general programs where there is a regular (on campus) program and a DL program that track 1:1. That is where they are the same except for delivery method. If the programs can be taken either way interchangably that is even better.

    As to specific programs I have no information in the area you are interested in.

    But as to Industrial Engineering/Engineering management programs like:

    and
