Hi Everyone I have a question for you. My brother-in-law went to Northern Kentucky University (NKU) for two+ years of college. He is seeking to get his BS in business. He has a family and works full time. What good DL college could he go to to finish his degree? It has to be one that requires no residency. Any help would be appreciated. He doesn't want one that will cost an arm or a leg, but is RA and has a decent name. Thanks!!!
Check out the big three portfilio/transfer credit schools(Excelsior/Thomas Edison State College, Charter Oak). All are very affordable, one even takes GRE credit if you take the exam (30 credits?). My understanding is that there is probably no easier way to earn an RA degree. If he wants more of a brick & mortar school, try http://www.liberty.edu I believe they have an undergrad business degree, and they do take transfer credit. At the undergrad level I believe there is no residency requirement. Courses are done by VHS. They have a real campus, football team, etc. They make no religious requirements on DL students. North
I have another few questions to pose to whomever can answer. When purchasing textbooks, Do the prices include shipping & handling? Also, do they provide the books you need to buy, make you find them, or give you a book list(in general)? My brother-in-law was curious about this and brought up a good point in how expensive it would be to ship those books( esp. from great distances like Sats in my case).
In most d.l. courses, the cost of textbooks is over and above the cost of the course. Most of the U.S. schools provide some type of service for purchasing books, usually a company that they have contracted. Shipping is generally over and above the price of the books. While this may be time saving, nothing stops you from purchasing the books locally, if they are available, or through an alternative service.
SUNY Empire State College offers Bachelors degrees by distance through the Center for Distance Learning. They take transfer credits and also offer Credit by Evaluation. The cost for NYS residences id $137.00 per credit. They offer web as well as print base classes. I currently have two more classes to take before I complete by Bachelors. My experience with them has been wonderful.
I've been doing a lot of searching and could really use some help! I'm trying to find which colleges offer a DL masters in Education/Christian Education. Here's the problem: 1. The school has to require no residency. 2. I must be able to get the whole degree there. Many schools will allow up to a certain amount of credits towards a masters, but not all. 3. I don't want to "test out" of classes, although I want to submit my transcripts for credit against my degree in progress (B th. @SATS) where ever they can apply. 4. I'm willing to go on-line for tests, as well as to do research, etc... however, I don't want to attend an "on-line school" per se. I prefer cd-rom, mailed text, or cassette/video courses. I'm currently searching all ATS accredited schools one by one, but this is really time consuming. I'm open to any suggestions. It can be either nationally accredited or RA. Thanks in advance for any help
