Looking to get a bachelors degree online already have about 90 credits mostly busines

Obviously the easiest route would likely be to go business. I've done a bit of look at Capella and Liberty University. Capella is really expensive and for some reason Liberty is ranked 141st on USnews best online bachelors program. Anyone who is currently or recently got an online bachelors in Business would be ideal. I guess I'm pretty much only looking for regionally accredited schools, as I want the degree to be able to actually mean something. Thanks for the help.

 

In the early 1970s, there arose three state-run colleges offering the Bachelor's degree in business (and many other fields) entirely based on work done elsewhere: courses, equivalency exams, verifiable career experience. All prospered, and all are still doing this. (At the time, many so-called experts, even including yours truly, predicted that within a few years, every state would have such a school. It never happened, and that is why those three are called 'the big three' around here.) Much information will be found searching on this forum . . . and there is another forum devoted solely to these three schools: CLEP Forum - CLEP Study - CLEP Testing - Study Guide and Strategies

Thomas Edison State College (in NJ) tesc.edu
Excelsior College (in NY) excelsior.edu
Charter Oak State College (in CT) charteroak.edu

 

Well I don't really have much work experience so Idk if thats the route for me. I've worked 2 summer at a driving range. Also I forgot to mention I have an associates in liberal arts from my local CC but like I said most of the classes I was taking were to set me up for a bachelors in business management/administration.

 

Also how well respected is a degree from one of those big three like thomas edison?

 

You must be young and arrogant. You want the degree to be able to actually mean something? Different degrees from different schools mean different things to different people. Not all people are square pegs that fit into square holes. Distance learning is not like going to your local ivy. But hey even the ivies are offering distance learning. So keep that in mind when you speak your mind.

 

I'm arrogant for wanting to know if potential employers will view my degree as being legitimate and not as something that just came from a diploma mill? Ok then.

 

My wife did a BS from Excelsior, the degree has printed "member of the University of the State of New York". It sounds official, it was accepted as the equivalent of a Canadian BS degree.

You can do a BS in LS with a concentration in Business. The diploma only reads "Bachelor of Science".

We live very close to New York state so most people don't even ask if the degree was earned distance. My wife actually wrote many of the exams in SUNY.

I think is good enough to get a job in business, the same value as any no name school.

 

Most of the schools allow you transfer up to 90 semester credits for 120 semester-credit degree. However, the credits must match with their curriculum otherwise will toward electives or not count. If you are afraid of criticism on distance degree as inferior, then I would recommend you to attend public school with B&M campus. Troy University ecampus is another option for you, which you can transfer up to 90 credits.

I graduated from Troy University in 2006 while serving active duty in the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, California. Nobody has asked me anything about distance learning degree, and I have never received any criticism about it. They could tell the degree at distance learning by comparing the time and location of my employment to time and location of school.

 

My apologies to the mods and the OP. I had not seen the 2nd posting (#3 post) in which the OP said he was a grad of a CC. I guess it's one of those delay things of DI for first posters. I took the postings in the wrong way and not in the spirit intended.
