I don't like/trust online degrees.
The whole point of college is to figure out what you want to do, explore, network and learn how to learn. I fail to see how an online degree can provide that. The amount of learning that happened outside of classes, during labs with my peers, is on par with lecture halls if not more. I've seen side projects, discussed random technologies, even startup MVPs on Campus. No matter how great the instructors are, it's still a sub-par experience.
That and cheating of course.
- spaceisballer 6y agoThe established online universities are rarely cheaper than a brick and mortar experience. The place I worked at was around $40k for an associates and maybe like $60k for a Bachelors (HS Degree to Bachelors, a four year program in about 2.5 years). Thats been about 10 years ago so not sure how pricing has changed. When I went to college in state I paid $10k a year with room and board.
- 908B64B197 6y ago>a four year program in about 2.5 years How could they compress it so much?
- gowld 6y agoSummer school trivially compresses 4 years to 2 2/3 years.
- 908B64B197 6y agoThat means no time to intern anywhere. Not sure I would recommend this path.
- phobosanomaly 6y agoMaybe if you totally cut out gen-ed like language, writing, or intro sociology. A lot of lower div credits are gen-ed.
