Find Colleges Online

I am taking my daughter up there in August for college. And I would like to do something with her before she starts college.

Snowboarding, my parents say that if i go there, the normans will try to convert me into there religion, see im catholic and i don't want no trouble my parents say they'll let me go to any other state college except for this one but i don't know, can you tell me if there telling me the truth or not

Used to work with a guy from Salt Lake who when to University of Utah. Judging from what he told me, BYU (not surprisingly) has a strongly Morman culture. University of Utah, on the other hand, is a secular university that happens to exist in a city where a lot of Mormans live.
So yes, there will be a strong Morman influence there. But yes, you can almost certainly go there and remain Catholic. And most likely be pretty comfortable there.
And yes, Solitude and Alta are particularly nice. Love to ski there again!

I just want somewhere warm and by the beach. Preferably not a school that is incredibly picky about admissions; I am a Oregon transfer student with a 3.7 college GPA.

In San Diego the major universities are UC San Diego, San Diego State University, University of San Diego, and Cal State San Marcos. UCSD is the hardest to get into, then SDSU, and then CSU San Marcos. Not sure about USD, it's private but not very competitive I think, a 3.7 would probably be fine. 3.7 is around the average for students accepted to SDSU. UCSD the average is 4.2. But both of those figures are for incoming freshmen and since you are a transfer student you don't need a GPA that high. A 3.7 GPA should get you into anyone of those schools b/c it's easier for transfer students usually, but since you are coming from OR and not a CA community college it may be a little tougher, but you won't need the really high grades like an incoming freshmen would.

SD is great for college students, I came here six years ago for college (UCSD) and stayed here after graduation. I would recommend living in Pacific Beach. Lots of college kids and young people between 20-30. Great atmoshpere, friendly people, and big party town. Lots of clubs and bars here and lots of parties going on around town. You can drink booze on the beach here too and people are partying on the beach all summer long and even during the rest of the year, but summer is amazing. SD's a great town too, the Gaslamo Quarter is great for more trendy, upscale nightlife with all the nice clubs and bars down there. There is always something going on or some event to go to down here. The weather is the best too, perfect most of the time and summers are amazing; usually 68-70 at night and 75-85 during the day. The ocean water is also the warmest ion the west coast, around 70 during summer.

You should check out the schools I mentioned and go to their websites to see if its a fit for you.

Is Maine College of Art (M.E.C.A) hard to get into?
Is it a good art college?

Im a first year student at MECA right now and I would say that it is not “hard” to get into like RISD, which is an “elite” art school, however it is a very good art school, and they do look at everything they ask for in the application so make sure it is complete. They are a very diverse school and dont have a specific mold they want the students to fit like RISD does. Just give you best effort and you will get in.

I love the school and I would rank it up there with MassArt (also a very good art school), and is very less traditional than RISD, which I also absolutely love.

If i plan to go to a college with a nice sports program such as Louisville, Kentucky, UCLA, ect. How much would the bottom line pay be? How much would one year be if i just got the basics of the program. No dorms, like that. And how much would 4 years cost?
So if i just live in that state it would be cheaper? Ok i am planning on moving to Texas. So how much would it cost if i went to the University of Texas at Austin since i would live in that state?

If you're out of state, that's 15k a year, which would equal 60k in four years excluding all other expenses.

Just looking for a start, jr in school, major is management

Jobs that require a college degree in Hawaii…hmmmm…If you're not finding much in the usual places, it could be because there isn't much.

I don't think there's any shortage of people with 4-year degrees in business in Hawaii. We do have shortages of doctors, nurses, dentists, dental hygeinists, elementary and special education teachers, speech and language pathologists, and school psychologists. However, those shortages are created because the pay does not compare favorably with North American wages and salaries when adjusted for the cost of living.

While there is always a lot of debate as to whether an online college education is as good as a traditional college education, the answer is really very simple; there are good institutions that offer an online college education and there are bad establishments that offer an online college education. The same holds true for traditional college degree programs.

So, just as when you are looking for an offline course, you need to do the same kind of your research when you are looking for the best place to pursue an online college education.

Of course, you normally won’t care where the college is located unless part of the online program involves off-line meetings.  Usually the physical location just doesn’t matter.  However, a lot of the other points that you would consider before attending a traditional offline college or university should also be considered before you enroll with any organization offering an online college education.

The growth in the numbers of people pursuing an online college education has led to increased competition among institutions to attract students. The best way to assess the credibility of a site advertising that they have the best online college education is to ask about the accreditation of its courses. Accreditation means that some governing body for a particular field has endorsed the course. This can be extremely important in helping you to decide who to trust with your online college education. If a course is not accredited then you need to find out why.

There may be a number of courses that have not yet received accreditation from an appropriate association or governing body but still offer a good online college education. For example, the establishment may have applied for accreditation but not yet been assessed.  In that case you can actually check with the particular accrediting agency to be certain that they actually are in the process of assessing the application for accreditation. Another reason may be that there is no appropriate accrediting body for a course. This is less likely but, nevertheless, could be a valid reason and doesn’t necessarily indicate that the course offered is not going to be worth taking to advance your online college education.

If, however, you find that the online college education institution has been refused accreditation, then they are likely to try to tell you that accreditation is not important. And that simply isn’t true. An online college education from a non-accredited institution is not going to be viewed as positively as one from an accredited establishment. Choose where you go to get your online college education with care to ensure that you are not wasting your time and money by having a nearly worthless qualification.

Another factor related to accreditation has to do with professions requiring some form of governmental license or certification.  You need to be certain that any college degree or other course certification will be acceptable to whatever licensing body has authority over the profession in the location you live and work in.  For example, a course which is accepted in one state, may not be accepted by the authorities in another state.

You need to think of the online college education arena as a marketplace. You are the consumer and as in any marketplace, you need to check the quality of the product and the ‘merchant’ according to the circumstances that apply to you and your area of study. While this may seem like a lot of work at times, it is your future, your time and your money that are involved. So take a little extra time and verify the value of any online college program (or any type of online learning) that you are considering.

Enrollment is rising for online college degree programs, and working adults with some prior college experience are the demographic responsible for much of the growth, according to a recent report by the National Center for Education Statistics.

Investing in an online education is far from inexpensive, but many available distance learning programs are substantially less costly than comparative campus based offerings. This, in combination with the flexibility inherent in online learning, has made it a popular choice among those who work full time.

Jared Reed, a married father of two working on an online master’s of business administration while employed full time as an IT consultant, sees online degree programs as the logical evolution of academia. “For me, it’s impossible to be away from home for ten hours a day while working and then be available for campus classes at night. Earning my degree online allows me to spend time with my family in the early evenings and take care of assignments and coursework once my kids are in bed. None of the colleges in close proximity to me offer the classes I need with a schedule that fits my life. When you can’t make sacrifices to attend college because it’s simply not possible, you look for alternatives.”

While not all online colleges and universities offer lower tuition rates than campus based counterparts, many are able to reduce student expenses by eliminating superfluous costs, such as athletic fees charged to all students at almost all colleges regardless of whether they participate in athletics or not. The savings may seem relatively small on a per credit basis, but added up over the course of a four year degree program, it can make a reall difference. This is especially true for those who are borrowing to get an education.

Ultimately, though, it’s the end that justifies the means, which is where online degree programs have gained the most ground. Compared to just a few years ago, it is much more widely accepted that e-learning can provide the same quality of education available at campus based educational institutions. Continues Reed, “Knowing that my education will afford me the same opportunities I would have if I had been able to attend a traditional college is important to me. No matter where you go to school, you want to know that the time and effort you put in will help you reach your goals when you graduate.”

With more people getting online, more students considering a degree are inquiring about a bachelor degree online program. Such an education seems to sift the traditional schooling method, minus the captive class hours, commuting hassles, and expenses. What’s left is pure education at one’s pace.

One question that arises here is that can anyone just take up any online bachelor program from any institution? Of course not; you should only apply for those online bachelor degree programs that are accredited and are being offered at an accredited institution. Make a wise decision about your future today.

Attending Yale or Harvard could have you seeing your parents’ and your savings, while you hold on to the dream that the sacrifice will pay off with a job that gives you a fat check plus benefits. All because you got your degree from a revered institution.

Some point out that that promise is holds out for a few. No, taking up and finishing a bachelors degree online program from the top universities might not end up granting you that high paying job of your dreams. This says a fellow at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. These expensive schools, the researcher continues, only sells the prestige associated with their school through the bachelor degree online program.

This research revealed that those who end up with good jobs do so not as a result of the schools they attended, but simply because they were smart and diligent to begin with. They use what they imbibed from class and from books.

Bottom-line: if you’re smart enough to get accepted in the top schools, and emerge learned and wiser from their courses, you can do anything in life.

The question is…is it worth the worry and the preparation to get accepted into these schools? Or will earning a bachelor degree online program from an accredited university be just as good? You have to look at your lifestyle and where you’re at. When you’re thinking of getting a bachelor degree online program, there must be some reason why regular classes are not for you. A part-time job or two maybe? Point is, instead of looking up to the top schools even for online degrees, there are other schools to consider where you can get your degree.

What you need to find, and that’s what the Internet and your friends are for, is to find an accredited university offering a bachelor degree online program; one that squares right into your budget and your lifestyle. The top colleges will always have the advantage should you attend school the normal way–the high expectations, the contact with fellow learners and inspiring teachers.

But then, having earned a bachelor degree online program will not be discriminated against if you pick your school well. Some are of course better than others, but most of the good ones tend to be accredited and use mostly the same study guides and schedule.
