    Thank you. I have not heard of that university before. What's their reputation like?

    I would have more confidence in doing a course online with them if their website didn't look like it was designed by a colourblind amateur in 1996.

    Wow, that site looks like it should be hosted at angelfire.com. Not to pile it on, but I made my first website within 2 weeks of the first time I ever used the internet, and even my little site looked better... and to top it all off, on the psychology page, I found this:

    I REALLY have no idea what to make of that [​IMG].

    As for the school itself, it charges the same tuition fees for out of state and international students as they to for in-state students (which is not common at all). According to the most widely reference college "ranking" system, they are considered Tier 4, or bottom-of-the-barrel, as far as prestige is concerned http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/la-grande-or/eastern-oregon-university-319. Frankly, I have never heard of them before. However, this, of course, does not mean that the academics are necessarily inferior. I tried to search out more information for you, but could find nothing more specific about them... other than a Lexis Nexis searched which revealed several news articles not related to education that casually mentioned them. I guess we have to wait and see if any board-wanderer happens to have specific experience with this school.

    Are you looking for a degree that contains all these areas or a degree in any one area?

    Here are some individual area degrees:

    BA in Political Science and BA in Political Economy:
    Undergraduate Programs : Athabasca University

    BA in Political Science:
    APU Degree Program: Bachelor of Arts in Political Science

    BSc in Economics and BSc in Politics:
    Distance learning - University of London - UoL - online education - Undergraduate

    BA in Economics, BA in Philosophy, and BA in Political Science:
    Thomas Edison State College | Bachelor of Arts

    If you are looking for a combined degree could create your own degree at one of the big-3 schools.

    Thank you for your help, everyone.

    I don't know why I forgot about the OU, they're the obvious choice.

    A degree that contains all three. I don't really want to make a DIY version.
