| I don't think that online courses are necesarily bad, and I think that they are gaining acceptance, especially in education and business education. However, people need to do the same research they would during any college search. First it is important to determine what you expect to get out of the courses and determine whether the school's goals are the same as yours. I wouldn't put too much credence in online complaints, since, like hagwans, people are only motivated to complain when things go wrong, and stay silent when things are good. Personally I would be most comfortable with a "name brand" school-- not necesarily Harvard or Princeton, but smaller state colleges. If the OP is American, take a look around at your local state college programs and see what is available. I know in my homestate of Massachusetts many of the state schools are building very strong online programs. Even a lot of the "traditional" degree programs offer a lot of courses online, so it is possible to get a head start on a degree even without setting foot in a classroom. Sorry I can't be more specific re: business programs, though. |
