Before taking online courses with any "for-profit" school, you would do well to read the article in the New York TImes for Sunday Feb 11, 2007 about the University of Phoenix, the most famous online school,
You definitely need to read this article.
Stick with a real school that has buildings, faculty and staff who have dedicated their lives to creating a college over many years. You won't regret it.

Why are you getting this degree? What are your goals? Because if your hope is to get a good job based on this degree, then Strayer, and schools like it, are poor choices. Many employers not only don't respect these schools, but some employers feel so strongly that they will not consider any applicant with these schools on their resume.
If you must attend an online program, try to attend one that's part of a reputable, brick and mortar university. I'll give some suggestions, below, to get you started:
University of Massachusetts at Amherst
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
University of Denver
University of Maryland
Duke University
Drexel
Carnegie Mellon
Penn State
Ball State
U Nebraska - Lincoln
Babson
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
University of Illinois
UMass Amherst
U Maryland
And there are others. In fact, check with your local state college and your local community college. A lot of them offer online programs, and you'll save yourself significant money by attending such a school as an in-state student.
