Hi, I need to find a online college to get bachelor's degree in Health Science, Psychology or History?

Question

I've been online for a few weeks now & either I get Business or IT-related colleges or the courses I'm interested in are for students only in US or Canada. I live in Qatar. Thanks a lot

I would love to study full-time, but I work..& am not in the position to leave my job

Answer 1

No education is useless and most online degree programs these days are offered by colleges and universities that are very well known.

It never ceases to amaze me the level of general ignorance when it comes to discussions of degrees delivered online and by distance.

Harvard University, UMass, U. London, U. South Africa, Boston U., U. California, U. Florida.... these all offer degrees wholly online. Only the most backward college or university doesn't offer online courses these days.

Don't listen to the people who claim that online delivery is worthless, they've just not kept up with the real world.

Now, your question. First, make certain that a degree delivered by distance is acceptable in your country. There are a few countries over there that have very strict rules about what will be accepted in their country and some won't accept a degree from some places (online or not) at all.

Then, you want health science, psychology, or history. That's a pretty wide list. Starting with a few in just psychology to look at for you that are solid (but not inexpensive) regionally accredited US colleges.

University of Massachusetts (Lowell) - BA Psychology

Upper Iowa University BS in Psychology

That's just a few options from a short search. Now, all you who think online education is a scam, tell us which of these colleges is "fake" or even easy.

It's 2007 folks - this is the way education is going to be delivered. You are no longer restricted to attending Yourhometown State Teachers College, you can learn at some of the best colleges in the world.

Answer 2

Hate to burst your bubble, but online degrees are usually worthless. Unless you're taking classes with a university that has a physical school (Penn State for example offers degrees online and they also have physical campuses). Many schools don't offer online degrees in psychology, health sciences, and history because online is not the best place to get that kind of education. You would learn more in a real classroom.

I would recommend trying to go to a university in Qatar or studying abroad in the US or another country.
