Technical School, Community College, Online University, Physical University - Which is best/worst?

As the question states, how would you rank the above four institutions from best to worst in terms of education quality and real-world acceptance?

Get credit hours at a Community College because it is cheap (and a lot of credit hours can wave SATs, I never took the SAT/ACT and I have a Masters, but do not get an Associates just take the credits). Then go to a regular University. Online universities take to much dedication and do not offer the fun and open environment that a regular University does.

As for technical schools ... most trades never even hire those grads. Trades usually want experience. Example Air Conditioning if you went to school for AC you would never get an AC job, and if you did it would be as apprentice which you could have done before starting the school. Real AC classes are taught by companies like TRANE (very good classes!).

As for other Tech schools like DeVry (for computers). You are better off going to a regular University and getting a respected degree there. In Dallas they have the University of Texas at Dallas on one side of the street and DeVry on the other. Which degree do you think is more valuable a UTD degree in nano-technology taught by nobel prize winners, or a computer software design class taught by a guy that works at CompUSA? ....

Any good online courses or schools to learn technical writing? Any good online courses or schools to learn technical writing?

I like MIT's open source courseware. Their courses of Tech Communicatons or their Advanced Workshop in Writing for Science and Engineering are worth a look.

MBA, bacherlor's, associates from online universities and technical schools?

My professor from a community college in Los angeles told me that those online universities such as Devry and university of phoenix are not good. The degree they give isn't really worth it. Is this true? I also heard from radio today that one such a school are giving MBA in one year. How does that work? I thought it normally takes 2 years to get an MBA after you get your bachelor's degree.

Your professor is correct.

Most employers do not give much credence to degrees from "online universities" like University of Phoenix / Axia, AIU, Capella, Penn Foster, etc.

And any university that would award an MBA with only one year of study is obviously disreputable.

However, many longstanding, regionally accredited, and completely reputable state universities now offer courses and even degrees online. This is called "distance education."

The links below are the absolute best you will find. They contain more links to many well-respected state university distance education programs.

What distinguishes these sorts of programs is that the courses are generally transferable between regionally accredited institutions. Sometimes, the degrees offered are identical to those earned on campus.

I would advise you to start by looking at various state universities and check to see if they offer the programs and courses in which you are interested. (Pennsylvania has a great system, for instance.)

Just avoid the "online universities." These for-profit businesses are not the same as non-profits institutions of higher education, and they are notorious for not delivering on their promises. I can also assure you that these degrees are laughed at in academia.

Note: In institutions of higher education, regional accreditation is better than national accreditation. This sounds odd, but I assure you that it is the case. The regional accreditors are:
Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSACS)
New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC)
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCACS)
Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NCCU)
Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)

If a program is not accredited by one of these associations, it is best to stay away.

Best wishes to you, and good for you for asking the question before wasting your money!
