I am ready to go back to school but I am a stay at home mom with 2 small children. I would like to find a school online that will allow me to take only basic classes. I also need to be able to transfer the credits to a campus someday. I have heard that some of the online schools won't transfer credits to another school.

There are over 950 colleges with online programs, so there is definitely a program out there that should meet your needs.

Personally, I have never come across a program that would not transfer credit to another college. If you are attending a regionally accredited online college, this should not be an issue.

Dozens of well-known, respected universities ranked in the Top 100 by U.S. News offer online programs (Penn State, Syracuse, Boston U, University of Illinois, and so on). Even Ivy League universities are catching on.

To save money, your best bet is to look for a community college offering online classes in your state of residence. If you take at least a half-time course load (2 classes per semester), you will qualify for financial aid at most colleges. Personally, I would steer clear of for-profit schools whose names are synonymous with online learning (and they cost more).

I earned my first two years at a community college in Texas offering online classes (Central Texas College). My classes were just $50 per credit hour (apx. $150 per course). Then, I transferred to Columbia College where I pay just $205 per credit hour (which is about the same as what I would pay at the university in my city).

Unfortunately, when you type in online college in a search engine, most of the time, all you see are the for-profit schools and not the well-known schools or state schools... but they are out there.

Since I'm an online student, I keep a blog about online classes... some of my posts might be able to help you out (I also maintain a list of online colleges by state of residence): http://www.online-college-blog.com

Who have the best online college program?

Check for the best college.

It is difficult to say which college is "the best" because there are so many factors that need to be considered. Especially without knowing more about you and what you are looking for in your education. What is more important is finding the school is best for you and your needs (tuition, schedule, and reputation by potential employers in your desired field). I would recommend contacting a number of schools directly to ask about their specific programs and that any school you consider is regionally accredited.

This site has good information on regionally accredited online degrees and some colleges to help begin/expand your search:

Good Luck!

How did I not pass the Disney College Program Online Interview?

I scheduled a phone interview, and they said I didn't meet the requirements. Can anyone elaborate on that? I personally don't think that's fair, since the questions were survey like. ex: Strongly disagree to strongly agree types of questions. Is there any way that I can reapply without waiting for 6 months?

Well it could of been a various different reasons why... They have certain requirments like for my brothers college the USCGA you have to take the ASVAB you have to have a medical test, you have to be a US citizen. Why dont you call them again and ask them what you did wrong so you can fix it.. Good luck.

Can you enroll in an online college degree program while still in high school?

My daughter is a high school sophmore and a very advanced students, and is interested in being an international trade specialist. A friend suggested that she take an online course in business management. Is she old enough, and about how much does it cost?

Online college degree programs are expensive and not all of them are accredited. Your daughter can attend summer school and graduate one semester early, so that she can attend college in January instead of waiting till Fall.

There are also some advanced honors courses available in high school that are accepted as college credit. Her high school counselor will have more info on that.

I recommend community colleges for the first two years of college, as it is offers more individual attention and is less expensive that a four year university, and the credits offered are the same so they will transfer. An academic advisor can assist you with this.

Best wishes.

Can you be enrolled in more than one online college program?

Yes or no
is anyone doing it

Yes, you can probably do it, but don't expect each college to give you credit for coursework at the other one. Also, if Federal financial aid is a concern for you, remember that you can only get it at one school at a time.
