Personally, I respect the institutions that offer them and I respect the people that are enrolled in them because they dont fit or cant dothe traditional 4-year classroom university or college, but I do not think its fair to say that a person who graduates from a traditional 4-year school is equal to a person to gets a degree from an online institution in a year or two. Agree/disagree? Why?

I'm sure your opinion rather than question is justified as I think you never experienced how hard it is to study on-line. I believe that the on-line degree is perfectly legitimate for two reasons. First is that many people don't have the luxury to spend 4 years studying in college mostly for financial reasons. Also most institutions grade the on-line exams in very much the same way they do for the traditional ones. To sum things up, time is never a measure of achievements, it is effort that counts.

i definitely agree with you, because you're sure that a person's been through a lot of hard work when you know he/she graduated in a university or college. There's interaction with different people, having different activities which would involve contact with another person. It still is the best way to learn.
Others think it may be legitimate but people who got their degrees in a traditional 4-year classroom university or college definitely have an advantage specially when it comes to applying for a job etc.

Yes, many are. You need to research them carefully before applying. Start with your local community college for information on the online courses.

i would like to disagree on this one.. it wouldn't be legitimate... thus, it's different when your in a classroom in any schools or universities.. the environment's different.. even if itsboring sometimes..you'll meet new people.. friends, best friends, maybe even lovers.. i know anybody can have an online relationship.. but it'll be much better if you met in person.. like.. love at first sight.. something like that... or much more.. you'll find your true love.. and the best thing is that you'll have much morre time being with each other.. passing letters.. or just lookin at each other's eyes.. it'll be a perfect profound moment.. memories you'll cherish forever ^_^ cmplymae
