They have satellite campuses in different countries and on different military bases (I took a class at a military base in my area). But they also have lots of online classes – in fact 22 of their majors and 28 of their minors (undergrad) are offered entirely online and a lot of their certificates are too. I think they offer online graduate majors too and for some programs no GRE is required.

I’m not sure what you are looking to study – but you might also want to consider schools like like the University of Phoenix or Capella, which are primarily online schools. University of Phoenix also has satellite campuses in case you decide to do face-to-face lectures at some point.

I know someone who went to Capella – and it is really working out well for her – she is getting her PhD in Information Technology.

The quality of education these programs offer is minimal – there is simply no substitute for the kind of dynamic interactions and discussions that commonly occur in face-to-face college courses. Also, the quality of educator is significantly less at online universities – the best faculty choose to teach at real colleges and universities. Both the pay and work environments are far superior to online universities. So, for great classes from great instructors, go to a real college or university.

Also, because of the minimal training they offer, employers and graduate institutions place little value in degrees earned from online programs. Many of these programs lack even basic accreditation for the degree programs they offer.

Bottom line – you will receive little if any personal or professional benefit from online universities relative to what you could have received from a real college or university.
