Question

Asked 3/3/2010

What things should I consider when choosing a distance learning program?

Will I be able to go to graduate school with an online bachelor's degree (I plan to get my master's degree in library science)?
I already know to avoid programs like U of Phoenix, Penn Foster, etc. I plan to get my degree through a traditional college. What things should I keep in mind when searching?

Oh, and I want to get my bachelor's degree in liberal arts/studies.

So long as you stay with "traditional" colleges with regional accreditation you should be OK for degree recognition. However, keep in mind for most graduate degrees, especially competitive graduate degrees, you need to do well in one of the tests (GRE, MCAT, LSAT, etc). Do you think you will absorb a good education by studying completely online? Good enough to do well on these tests? I think not.
