    If the newbie would bother to follow the link I provided he would discover a complete listing of every program he has requested.
    You are so defensive that you don't know when your question has been answered.

    Niteowl.....first off, you'll attract a lot more flies with honey than with vinegar, so you should really calm down and read the advice offered here. Now....let me start by saying the words "thesis" and "easy" should never co-exist in a legitimately accredited program.

    Since you want a Master's degree as a teaching credential, you should be looking for the program with the best reputation and academic rigor, since those things will matter when applying for a competitive teaching position.

    Since my field is Criminal Justice, I'll restrict my comments to that. With most other things being equal, someone applying for a competitive teaching position in CJ with a DL Master's from Florida State, Michigan State, or the University of Cincinnati will get the job over someone with a DL Master's from AIU or CTU, almost every time. Academic snobbery? Probably, but that's how it works.

    I can't say this enough.....if you want to teach, go for the program with the best reputation that is feasible and affordable for you. Check out my sig line for a pretty comprehensive list of CJ degrees available by DL.

    Six posts. You gotta think this person came in with a pre-conceived notion, no? Given all of the people that come and go, getting really good help along the way, it seems hard to believe this guy came to his conclusions, start-to-finish, in just 6 posts.

    I'm not sure if you're still looking, but have you considered California State University - Dominguez Hills?

    They are an RA university with a complete distance master's in humanities with a concentration in history. There is also a thesis option. I can't speak for its degree of difficultly, but it might meet your needs.

    Good luck in your quest.

    University of West Alabama would be great choice for a history concentration...stay away from Fort Hays, they have some serious problems in their MLS program, and they seemingly don't give a rat's behind about resolving them too!
    Yep, University of West Alabama, a dollar or two more in the end but well worth it considering how Fort Hays will treat you.
    Good luck,

    One of the things I had to learn when I started posting on message boards in 1997 is that the medium is, for some reason, one in which diplomacy often demands extra effort, especially from those like me who are none too diplomatic to begin with.

    I was alternately both hostile and defensive, depending on what was being discussed.

    As we all know, the written word leaves out a lot as a means of interpersonal communication. The internet goes one further by assuring us that we will never have to confront those whom we offend (offensively or defensively). We can say what we want and never have to worry about being held responsible for our actions.

    I don't think most people fail this diplomatic test on purpose. I believe most people are reasonably well intentioned. But I also believe that extra effort is needed by some to be diplomatic and to suffer apparent abuse.

    Seems from what I have read, The university of Pheonix offers the easiest Masters Programs (least amount of hard work involved)

    This is just from reviews written by graduates on this board and on other review sites.

    Is the University of Pheonix Docatorate the easiest RA doctorate also?
