online degree programs for history, humanities or philosophy?

Question

Every online degree program I've seen is for business or nursing or tech-related degrees. Anyone heard of one from an accredited college for the above studies?

Answer 1

Depends at what level you want to do it. I think something called American Public University has programs in History. Norwich University has an online masters degree in Military History. And the University of Illinois Online (it is the same UI as Urbana-Champaign and your degree won't say online) has a philosophy undergraduate major.

Answer 2

When people say their online degree was accepted by employers, it often turns out they were already employed and the employer simply acknowledged their degree, or the degree was a "check-off" to allow promotion. It is much less likely that an online degree — particularly from a notorious school like U of Phoenix — actually enticed an employer to offer a job. On-campus degrees still have much more credibility, all else being equal. This is demonstrated by online students being very anxious to make sure the cringe-inducing word "online" dooes not show up on their transcripts or sheepskin. They do not wanted to be outed as online students. If you MUST get a degree online for some compelling reason such as being bedridden, there are schools with better reputation than the for-profit mega-schools often advertised on buses that pass near trailer parks. The following purely-online schools have decent reputations: Athabasca U Excelsior College Western Governors U

Answer 3

Most "online schools" are for-profit businesses, aimed to attract working professionals who are seeking to complete their degrees while remaining employed full time. The vast majority of these folks want degrees in their field of employment, so that's what's made available to them.

You, on the other hand, are looking for a traditional (as opposed to vocational) bachelor's degree in the liberal arts and sciences, which, at this point, are available online on a limited basis, and mostly through the distance learning programs of some few regionally accredited state and private universities.

Check out the state university in YOUR state. It should be accredited by one of these associations:

Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools
New England Association of Schools and Colleges
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges
Western Association of Schools and Colleges
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools

Penn State U, Indiana State U, Kansas State U, Washington State U, Oregon State U, Colorado State U, North Carolina State U, and Utah State U all offer distance education programs. I am sure there are others as well. Just do a search on "distance education" and "Your State."

Best wishes to you.
