    online history degree

    I was hoping someone could provide some program/school suggestions for an online bachelor degree in history . I've come across the common kaplan /ashford /umuc stuff, but was curious if anyone had a first-hand opinion. I'm currently in NC now and will be moving back to CA, but can't suggest how long I'll be there (work). So ideally a program that doesn't require living near a campus...

    My wife did her BA in Humanities through UMUC with a large history component. She did it in a mix of online and in-residence classes while we lived in England. There were no complaints about the quality of the classes or the instructor side of the house. There were a few minor issues with the UMUC-Europe specifically related to financial aid and the registrar office. Overall, the degree was beneficial in that she used it to move on into grad school at one of the local state universities and then on to a decent job with the state government.

    Take a look at American Military University if you are OK with a for-profit school. They have really good course offerings in History .

    Online Bachelors History

    The University of Illinois Online (Springfield Campus) has a bachelor's completion (last 60 credits) 100% online. Their E-Tuition makes their per credit rate about $250 for learners nationwide (half that of most for profit options) BUT be careful of the fees. There are some odd "mandatory fees" they tack on as I read it. Also, you have to have associates or equivalent (RA) to apply.
