How Legitimate are Online Degrees?

Like would a Gov’t Agency like the FBI or other jobs that require college degrees accept them. Also would the military accept them in order to become a officer.

Avoid for profit schools! These schools are UOP, AIU, Kaplan, Capella, ITT Tech etc. The list goes on. These schools are scams and are a total rip off.

Your best bet is to find a bona-fide traditional university or community college that is accredited in your area and look into their distance learning program. You will get a real degree and it will be recognized by ANY comapny you work for. As someone that has worked in an government area, those fake online schools are jokes. People that show up with those degrees are immeditaely turned down.

I would call whoever you want to apply to and ask them if they will accept the specific degree you are seeking. If you did this via E-mail it would be great because you would have a written record as to whether they will accept that degree or not.

Some on line degrees are iffy and some are legit. You really just need to ask an employer. and make sure the school is accredited. If they are not-Don’t bother!

Please refrain from any ‘online school’ such as University of Phoenix, Devry U, Strayer U, Kaplan U and Kaiser U as employers generally do not consider them to be reputable. How about instead looking into applying to a major college or university that also offers online courses. Best of luck to you! And bless you for wanting to go into the armed forces!!
