    Define expensive. I would think your community college is the best bet. Do you have any computer certifications?

    Thank you sentinel for your help

    But i think these Universities are kind of expensive for me




    Thank you Randell1234 for your replay

    I have MCSA+S and CCNA

    i heard that ashworh university has an associate online and i talked to them

    But i don't feel comfortable with them i think they don't have the good support

    I want the same range of price , they have told my that the semester will cost 1200 $ and if i can't pay all semester at once i can pay 50$ a month until i finish 4 semester !! ( what do you think of that ? )

    My Target is to achieve bachelor Degree in Computer networking
    But i don't have the money right now so i thought i can start with Associate.

    I hope you can guide me to the Best , i would like to hear your opinions


    Thanks .........

    THere are several options...

    You can go with Penn Foster College, or the Big THREE. Another choices is Western Governors University offers Bachelor degre road to the IT certifications, I am not sure how the program works but check it out there site. The tuition is $2,600.00 per 6 six months, and you can get many credit as you can. I think that is awesome cheap.

    If you're looking for cheaper than that...then Print your own diploma. It costs you about $20.00 at Kinko State University. :)

    Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Applied Computer Studies

    If you are self-motivated and enjoy standardized tests, there are CLEP, DANTES, DSST, and the new Excelsior Examinations (uexceltest.com).

    There are independent study courses available from Louisiana State University for most of the general education requirements.

    The curriculum for the Associate in Applied Science (AAS) with a concentration in Applied Computer Studies offers the most flexibility. If you map your networking courses to be applicable to the bachelor degree you eventually want to earn, this degree (AAS) might be a good route. You can transfer all credit hours into Thomas Edison State College and/or take courses offered by the school. Thomas Edison State College also grants credit hours for certain certifications.

    Your MCSA and CCNA could be worth credits depending on the school you go with.

    What leads you to say this, "But i don't feel comfortable with them i think they don't have the good support"?

    Thanks Every Body for your support

    what are the big THREE ??

    after registration i get " At the present time, Western Governors University is not accepting applications from persons living outside the United States " ( I DON'T LIVE IN USA)

    But do you mean By " and you can get many credit as you can " ??


    Penn Foster is great but i learned that at the end of each semester the will supervise me at the exam called "protector" or something like that and it can be your boss or.... accredited from college so guys do you know where i can get someone like that !!!!!! (THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM) ...



    like i have told you before that i am new to the world of online education

    so i needed someone to guide me.
    first of all i have sent them many emails before i talk to them on phone but no one replay me , second after i have finished that conversation with admission adviser i asked him to send me an email to sum up the entire information that he gave me and he told of course i will now BUT until now nothing so that makes me a little uncomfortable about the enrollment if that what happened before my registration so what will happen later !!!

    What country do you live in? Are you American? Also, it is Proctor not Protector. You have to tell us all your information; therefore, we possibly to find some school that fit you. How much will you spend your Associate or Bachelor degree?

    Charter Oak State College, Excelsior College, and Thomas Edison State College. These are assessment schools where you can transfer in all the required credit hours for a degree and they evaluate those credit hours to determine which are applicable towards the degree you have chosen.

    Unfortunately true.

    Librarians usually qualify as proctors for examinations. You have to notify the school (Penn Foster) of potential proctors and they will determine whether the person is suitable.

    You should verify the courses, or at least most of the courses in this degree programme, are ACE reviewed for college credit. If a course is not ACE reviewed, you will not be able to transfer it to another college or university in most cases. The associate degrees offered by Penn Foster are nationally accredited (DETC). Now that said, if you are only interested in earning an associate-level degree with no plans to pursue a bachelor-level degree from a school in the United States of America or Canada, Penn Foster is good.

    The first order of business is to check the ACE status of the courses.

    My suggestion is to look into Fort Hays State University and their Associate of General Studies (AGS) in conjunction with their Certificate in Internetworking. Financial costs, including tuition fees, are available. Fort Hays State University is regionally accredited (North Central Association Higher Learning Commission).

    aha , i didn't know anything about "ACE reviewed" thing . thanks .
    Of course i would like to continue to bachelor Degree that is my main target
    so how can i know later that the course is ACE reviewed ?

    why did you suggest to me Associate of General Studies + Internetworking instead of Associate of computer networking all at once ?
    How it can be helpful then ??

    i think finally after finishing it it will be said that i have AS only in General Studies and has nothing to do with networks or even IT ....

    What do you think ??
