Question

I'm trying to get my B.S. in accounting but because of time conflict, work, family...I find it difficult to go to traditional school.

Help

Answer 1

I did my teaching Credential through National University (www.nu.edu). I really liked the format and I think they are great to work with. Each class is taught in a one-month format so you are only studying one subject at a time. You can complete 12 courses in a year. They have a B.S. in Accounting program. They also have a link between the undergrad business programs and the MBA so some of your undergrad classes count toward your MBA. I don't know exactly how that works because I was in the Department of Education, but it is a big plus.

There are three types of Universities: Public Universities, Private Non-Profit Universities, and Private For Profit Universities.

The University of Phoenix and many other adult-oriented colleges are Private For Profit Universities. I'm not knocking that -- they provide a real service for non traditional students. However, you must realize that the tuition has a profit margin built in.

National University, however, is a non profit private university. This means that they don't have to charge as much. Last time I checked, U of Phoneix was about $1600/class whereas National was about $1000. That can really add up.

The public colleges are even less money. The "biggie" in the distance learning arena is the University of Maryland.

I think you'll like studying online. I did.

I met someone who did the Teaching Credential partially on line and partly in class. She said on line was much more time consuming and difficult, but it was convenient for her life. I didn't find it particularly difficult, but that's just me.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Note: The University of Phoenix is *not* a public university. It is a private institute of higher learning.

Public university means that it is supported directly by the state.

You should check out universities near you to see if they offer online education. Many private and some public schools do offer online courses, and there may be a school near you that you can get to for a few hours per week. The BA is definately worth finding the time in your life for.

Answer 3

i'm at the moment engaged on my masters degree at APU. they seem to be a valid college and has an same accreditation as many classic faculties like the college of Kansas and Colorado State. The training are rather good. some professors are extra speedy to reply on line than others. the students particularly make the biggest outcome on the category. there's a huge variety of assignments that take advantage of posting to a talk talk board; well timed participation in this area of the category i imagine makes the category extra effective because there is extra time for all of us to analyze and reply. i imagine they have a provide for undergraduate training the position they get the books loose; for graduate training the books are at your own cost.
