It never ceases to amaze me the level of general ignorance when it comes to discussions of degrees delivered online and by distance.

Harvard University, UMass, U. London, U. South Africa, Boston U., U. California, U. Florida…. these all offer degrees wholly online. Only the most backward college or university doesn’t offer online courses these days.

Don’t listen to the people who claim that online delivery is worthless, they’ve just not kept up with the real world.

Now, your question. First, make certain that a degree delivered by distance is acceptable in your country. There are a few countries over there that have very strict rules about what will be accepted in their country and some won’t accept a degree from some places (online or not) at all.

Then, you want health science, psychology, or history. That’s a pretty wide list. Starting with a few in just psychology to look at for you that are solid (but not inexpensive) regionally accredited US colleges.

That’s just a few options from a short search. Now, all you who think online education is a scam, tell us which of these colleges is “fake” or even easy.

It’s 2007 folks – this is the way education is going to be delivered. You are no longer restricted to attending Yourhometown State Teachers College, you can learn at some of the best colleges in the world.

I would recommend trying to go to a university in Qatar or studying abroad in the US or another country.
