there are a lot of on line degrees offered currently. be sure that the college or university you choose is accredited and the degree is legit and accepted by employers BEFORE you make any kind of a commitment. too many have been caught by the promise of an on line degree only to find that the degree they earned is not worth the paper that the degree was printed on. I work for a university in MO and we offer several on line degrees. one thing you need to know as well - even though they are on line, you still have to come in to take an exam (or exams) at 99% of the places that offer them, so try to find one close to where you live. NOTE: I would not go through Univ of Phoenix, I have heard so many horror stories from students that come to us from them. most tell us that they got promised things that were not true, then were stuck with a horrible situation until they could get out of it. just do your research first, and you will be okay.
it may be better to get an on campus degree but take most of your classes online (this can be done at most universities).
*** when you take online courses, you need to be more self motivated than some people, and realize that the deadlines must be met. good luck regardless of which choice you make.

Go to Yahoo Search and look up online degrees. Many colleges all over the US over online Degrees. 2 and 4 year colleges. Most of them are work at your pace so you can get as much or as little done in a year as you would like. Hope this helps you a little. Good luck to you and It's nice to see that you want to go on and get your college education. Take Care and Have a Great week!

Don't do on line degrees, they are not worth the paper they are written on, and they can be bought for a few dollars anyway, if youl look at your hotmail spam. They will have absolutely no professional credibility. I can't speak for American education, never having been through it (I have had a European education) but I am not sure that having just college education should be a serious barrier providing your grades were OK. In the UK we have this thing called the Open University, which is a nationally recognised university, where you can do your degree by correspondence if that helpes. It is pretty well recognised here. You might be able to do some modules on line with them. Your best bet is to do correspondence degrees through a recognised US university. Contact them and see what they say.

Hmmm... To be honest, my friends have an online B.S. degree and MBA degree, and they couldn't get a job. Most companies wouldn't hire people who got their degree on an online college. Just to warn you. You should go to college that is on campus!
And YES, there are tons of online schools! Have you ever thought about why your mails which is about get a degree in less than 1 year from an online college usually ended in your spam mail/bulk mail? Don't do it, forget about online! It's fake and easy to earn a degree! Why is it so easy to get an online degree? Because they only want your money, and they don't care about what you learn from them! It's the money! Period!
Lots and lots of people who got their degree online know they have made a mistake! If you don't take my word for it, try get a job and tell the recruiter that I got my degree online, they most likely wouldn't hire you!
