Have my regular B.A.A. degree but am thinking of obtaining my Bachelor of Education or Phys. Ed degree online if it is at all possible. I just haven't the time or money to take a full year off to attend classes F/T.

Has anyone had any experience with online degree programs?

cheers

There are a crap load of threads already on this that you might find useful. Online degrees are still looked down upon by some people (and a bit of the educational world). This won't last long. Many of them are just scared of new things (like my grandmother not using her microwave for 5 years). Some feel the fact that they were wealthy enough to get one by taking time off (somethign many can't do) would lose the exclusivity of their own degrees.

Still, be careful. There are a lot of degree mills where the degrees will not be worth anything and you will get nothing out of it. But with proper research, you can get a damn good education online. Be careful though, they do take a lot more will power though.

i have no gripe about online degrees. As long as it is as reputable as a degree from university or college. However, eduction degrees usually require student teaching. I wonder how you can get that done while just doing an online degree.

Do you have any information/recommendations about courses available, and associated costs?

For B.A.'s or B.S.'s, nope. But, if you are referring to M.A's or M.s's then that is a different story.
