Almost every major university in the US now offers courses online and many offer degrees online.

The 5 week format isn’t an advantage in my opinion – that makes the course even more difficult. There’s no reason you can’t take a full or 3/4 load on an 8 or 16 week format just as easily – it’s the same course load over time.

Example: you take 1 course in five weeks and do this for 3 periods for 15 weeks. OR you take 3 courses over 16 weeks. You have accomplished the same task in the same time. It’s just that the 16 week class gave you far more time to write those papers or complete a project.

The important thing is not the delivery mode (online or not) but the general reputation of the college you’re attending.

Now, IT is a wide field of different majors. A few IT type online bachelor’s you might want to explore are:

Austin Peay State

Cal State Chico

East Carolina

Eastern Michigan

Florida State

Kansas State

New Mexico State

NW Missouri State

Old Dominion

Southern Illinois – Carbondale

Southern New Hampshire

SUNY – Empire State

UMass – Lowell

U North Dakota

Utica

Western Kentucky

These are just a few, your options are far greater than those heavily advertised proprietary colleges.

Now, some people will tell you that online degrees aren’t worth the money invested. Ask them which of the colleges on this list they don’t approve of… ☺
