Hey there. Have a little problem here. I am going to be recieving the montgomery gi bill to pay for my schooling. it gives me about 1100 a month. I need to finish up my schooling and get a bach. degree. I have to do this solely online just because i dont know where ill be half the time. and i am working almost 10 hours a day. I know i can handle the workload, im just concerned because i also need some of that money to live off of. So i need to find a school whos fee per credit hour isnt too high you know? It also has to be a real legit school because i need my degree! I am looknig for something that offers a mba in just plain administraion or project mngt. something of that sort. im flexible.
please help!!!!

also, just so you know that money only comes in if im doing 12 credit hours. and its noly coming in during the semesters. so i need something cheap enough where i can save some of that money to get me through the months im not in school. like summer and winter breaks.

Try Southern California for Professional Studies -SCUPS - also Edison in NJ will transfer work experience. You can simply go to ask.com & type in online schools & then check with your State. Every school will work with your financial situation. Find out prices from each school & then make your decison. Always remember to utilize your spellcheck function:>) Good Luck & watch out for hidden fees!

axia college. it's part of University of Phoenix. It is their online school. I'm starting there in June. Classes start every month or so, and you take 2 courses at a time, each course lasts 9 weeks. I will start from scratch and have my Associates of Arts in 20 months. Check them out. They're great. and the counselor's are wonderful. here's the link... http://axia.phoenix.edu/ they will accept any and all credits that have not expired for transfer if you have some. it sure can't hurt. good luck, maybe you'll be one of my classmates soon. :) oh, as far as tuition i concerned, each credit hour is $290 or so... and there's 60 credit hours to a degree.... divide by 20 months, that should get you close. I'd call and talk to a counselor if i were you, they really seem to listen and understand where you're coming from.
Good luck!!!!

Most on-line universities are For Profit corporations and are about twice the cost of a good public university. So -- finding one that is affordable is going to be difficult.
Finding one that is accredited is not hard -- however most have regional accreditation that is not hard to get -- but lack the more prestigious national accreditation.
The biggest problem with on-line degree comes from the fact that employers do not take them seriously. Even if you did get a good education from one, the fact that they are For Profit corporations that accept nearly anyone means that employers can't distinguish you from the majority of people who get degrees from these schools. Employers like Intel refuse to pay for their employees to take classes at schools like the University of Phoenix -- because they lack rigor.
The article below tells of some of the problems at these schools. My advice is to go to a local state university if you are looking for value.

Hi, you'll have to do your own homework so far as fees are concerned but to check for accreditation go to:
http://www.chea.org/default-original.asp
And use their database
Good luck.
