Are their any legitimate programs like these for Bachelor's degrees? I've had my eye on doing something like this, but as I never completed my undergrad before getting sucked into the tech goldmine, I'm ineligible. Online undergrad degrees seem to mostly be diploma mills with no real value.
- elemeno 12y agoI don't know about any programmes based in the US, but in the UK there's both the Open University ( http://www.open.ac.uk/ http://www.open.ac.uk/ ) and the University of London International Programmes ( http://www.londoninternational.ac.uk/ http://www.londoninternational.ac.uk/ ) - both of which are legitimate and well known universities of good repute.
- ForHackernews 12y agoIn the US, probably the most legitimate option is Western Governors University http://www.wgu.edu/ http://www.wgu.edu/. They're an accredited, non-profit institution. Obviously, it's not the most prestigious degree out there, but it's not looked down on as being a for-profit scam like University of Phoenix or similar.
- icewater 12y agoThanks for that info. Is this the only college that has an online bachelors program or just the only one you are aware of?
- ForHackernews 12y agoMany many colleges have online bachelors programs. This is just one that I know has a decent reputation.
