Online Bachelors Degree With No Curriculum Based Classes?

New postby Tamisha » 29 Oct 2012, 18:05

A close friend has just finished a four year degree fron an online university. He plans to be an elementary school teacher. His degree is actually in classroom management and while he took a lot of classes on managment, communication and even comparative religon, he has had absolutely nothing in psych, sociology, developmental psychology or not a hint of anything about developing and implementing curriculum, nor any class observation or student teaching. He is getting ready to start a Master's from the same online school and they say he can get all he needs for the actual teaching prep at that level. Does this sound odd? All the ed programs I have been in or considered have you doing a lot of the basic core work in your first four, with your master's years being used to focus in on a specialty or get a better understanding of how to plan and implement, state testing and IEP implementation.

You do not say where you are from. I can only answer as to what happens in the US. Each state specifies what is needed from their credential candidates. I candidate must have a sponsor school. The schools must provide a program that fulfills state requirements. If he is attending an accredited school, and is recommended for his credential - there should be no problem. Often schools have different requirements and degree options.

I do not know of any state that does not require a student teaching portion however. You do not state if he is a credential candidate - there is a big difference between the Ba and the credentialing work.

Depending on the area in forensics that you want to go in, I don't think online classes can give you the skills you need. I myself am getting my BS in forensic science at a college here in NY. I am working towards a degree in toxicology and criminalistics. Both require lab work which is hands on. I doubt online courses can give you this type of training. Honestly if you want to get the full education, go to a college, don't take courses online.

Taking accredited online classes to get a Bachelor's degree and be eligible for a CA teaching credential?

I am currently in a community college working online towards my GE to transfer to a university to get my bachelor's in music and then my California Teaching credential.

My question is, is there an accredited university that offers all it's classes in an online enviornment that would get me a Bachelor's Degree that would make me eligible to earn a California Teaching Credential (secondary school teacher). I would like to do this so I do not have to quit my job to continue my education.

Bachelor's will at least be 120, Grad will be about 45+ credits including (15 - 21 for major) depending on how they run their programs.

I think it's best you request information through their website and you can even request a guidance counselor to give you a call so that you can hear what they have to offer. If you don't like what you hear, you don't have to commit, that's the good thing about all this!!

Good luck with your decision!

Is $750 per class (3 credit hours) a good price for a bachelor degree earned online?

I heard this price is double what a regular university would charge and I was just curious.
