What is the best college or university to take online college fully accredited college courses?
Reader question: These courses are for my wife. We just had a daughter so she will have to stay home for a couple of months, she would like to make the most of her time and take some courses online. We are looking for the best place to take courses online that will be accepted by any college or university in the future. Thanks in advance.
sorry I typed this quickly didn't proof read...couple of little errors

Penn State University offers full 4-year degrees online through their world campus. She could take all 4-years through them, and there is no difference between World Campus degree and a regular PSU degree.

Good luck!

Universtiy of Phoenix is accredited and would probably be the most productive. You take one course at a time so she could concentrate on that one subject before moving on to another.

Phoniex online would be a good choice. But why not start off at your local community college. Cost are less than a university and most offer online classes that are transferable to us’s and cal state schools.

It was really wise of you to ask this question before you threw away your hard-earned money. You’ll need every cent now that you have a new little one!
The ONLY online degrees that are valued in academia in the US are those offered through REGIONALLY accredited schools.
U of Phoenix (and Capella, and AIU, and all those places that advertise all over the web) are not regionally accredited. They are “distance learning accredited,” or “nationally accredited,” which means nothing in academic circles. They are for-profit business that make their money from companies that pay for their employees to take courses. Because these companies pay for the courses, they are usually accepted within each company, but not elsewhere.
Degrees from state-university administered distance education courses are much less expensive than those offered by those fly-by-night diploma mills, and the course credits are universally accepted, and *transferable* from university to university. (Diploma mill course credits are not.)
I’ve placed some superb links below to help you.
Bravo for asking the question, congrats on the new baby, and best wishes to you and your wife in your search for a quality education!

Nova Southeastern University is a pretty good college, they offer both traditional and online classes but it depends on what type of degree and major she is looking for, visit http://www.nova.edu.
For other online schools, visit http://www.AllOnlineSchools.com and make sure whatever school your wife chooses it is a regionally accredited institution(that is what you need for higher education).
