OK, if you want to earn on on-line degree, this is almost the only REAL college where you can do the whole thing on-line. Most courses are gut courses, especially F2F. On-line, that's a WHOLE different story. If there's any course you might have trouble with (and that includes ANY lab course) find a local school (community college) and take it there. There's NO back up where you really need it and you wind spending (no kidding) easily 18-20 hours a week doing assigned labs that have no relevance to the course objectives, etc. I wasted an entire semester learning nothing before I wised up. F2F a teacher will say "skip it, it's not on the final"; on-line you have to every last stupid assignment, most of which are wastes of time. And there is NO ONE to complain to; they just blow you off, even if it's about poor performance by a teacher. Some are good and supportive, most just taking the gig for a little extra money. And some have no clue what they're talking about....
