They can be ok, but many employers prefer a degree from a bricks and mortar school. Just be very careful when choosing an on line school. Some of them are not at all reputable or reliable. Look for one that has been around for a long time, probably did correspondence programs before on line was a possibility, and has a good reputation.
Athabasca University in Alberta, Canada is one that has been around for about 40 years and has specialized in distance education.

They're real. It's just that some are more legitimate than others, meaning you actually have to do coursework and learn. Others will hand you a diploma in exchange for a certain amount of money without any real work done at all.
If you stick with the legit ones, it can be a great way to get your degree while working. After a certain point, a brick and mortar college isn't going to be more prestigious than a well known and established online college.

I think my college will start to have some particle online for a part of my in class. I still go to the college, but still have to go online for all my assignments. I did enjoyed my online class in somewhat. I wish, and I should enjoyed more. I think every class should be online. I would like online class better and maybe I will taking online class again if it would change its ways. Every week, I did my homework and posted it for the other students to correct them. Even though, online class is the kind of class that we pretty much on our own, I still think we need to depend on learning with our instructor.
It would be grade by how many time I posted my works. I didn’t know if my works are right or wrong because I don’t think anyone in my online class know either. Most of them would come in and said, “That is a good point you just made, or I am agree with your work.” Then I would see all my works being copied by the other, and posted in different words and sentences. It seemed like or it ended up be an ideas robbery in class.
That all everyone have to do two or three times a week. Some students even not there every week, and some don’t really said anything, or have the whole assignments. I have to depend on them to say something, so I could get some credit for the class. I didn’t really learn anything from the class itself, but I learned a lot on my own and got an A for this class. I don’t know if all online class is the same, but I am go in, to taking all my classes for now.

Your guess is as good as mine. The only way to find out is to do your homework and research the heck out of the question.
However, if you are only wanting the convenience of online classes, you should check into your State colleges and universities. Most of them offer "distance learning" classes online. You may have to attend some classes on-campus, but you may be elligible for more in the way of financial aid. I know in the State of Georgia this is true. The State offers "Hope Grants" and "Hope Scholarships" to all it's residents.

that is a for-income college so it falls into the degree mill classification. As we are saying again and again in this dialogue board, in case you may take on line instructions, then do it by skill of a authentic, bricks-and-mortar college (one which has a authentic campus someplace). or you run the danger that you pay a ton of money for a "degree" that no individual respects and that receives you nowhere.
