Default online degree
I actually wanted to have an online education, where I don't have to go abroad but still be able to acquire international certificate for a master degree. I've found some schools but I haven't yet decided. I still need some good inputs and comparison between universities before I made my decision.
Has anyone here taken such online courses? What do you do? And how's the process of learning and test taking?

If you live in the US, its not a good idea to take online courses. It's even worse than community college.

online courses are just fine. but you must know where to get it. not all online courses are real and helpful. and it expensive too. but i know big schools here or universities that offer online courses for those who are pretty busy to attend school

Some of the online courses are not up to the same standard as the college courses. They say you may get your diploma but if it was not approved by the board of education, you may be wasting your time and your money. You also need to know if whatever field you are studying in, there will be a job that will accept an online degree. I would imagine that there are scams in that area just as there are in other area of the internet.

I think it is not so easy to take online degree because you have to check it first about the school/collage, the registration, and something else

I have talked with the school representatives, some of them has 24 hr livechat for help and asking any question regarding the courses. And it was nice, but I don't know, I should think about it over again...

Well, actually I was planning to do the online degree like Klaudine did, but since I read the tread it makes me think twice again. Is that hard and worse to have study online? I mean is that hard to believe a promotion to have study online in the internet? Does it because worried it was fake, or else?

yeah... actually this thread made me think twice about having an online study. I was thinking that online studying is more efficient since I don't have to wast time to transport to any place and can get everything just online. I can do my assignment and exams at home. and I can get degree from other place while I am still in my country.
Anyone could give me more perspective about this kind of education?

people generally believe that online education is easier that offline education or formal education. but it is not really true. cause online education varies in degrees of difficulty depending on the subject you are taking and sometimes online degree can even be more difficult than formal schooling.
