I’m currently enrolled at Florida State University, but due to the fact that I am working full time – I am unable to continue my schooling here (most classes are scheduled when I have to be at work).
I will probably have to finish my education online, and was wondering if an online Masters degree (MBA) holds any weight in the real world.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my question.
Too bad about FSU. They’re not a bad school.
As for the online masters – for an MBA, it depends entirely upon the online school’s reputation. I mean, an MBA from U of Phoenix isn’t worth the virtual paper it’s printed on, but an MBA from Thunderbird? Might be all right.
Know that many MBA employers are highly education sensitive. They do very much care about the reputation of the school you attended. The school should at least be decent, if you really want to use the MBA to advance your career. It doesn’t have to be elite (although that’d be lovely, wouldn’t it?) but it must be reputable. No matter where you get your MBA, make sure that it is AACSB accredited, or some employers will refuse to look at you, and make sure it has a good name even beyond that.
So some decent MBA programs that do offer MBAs online include:
Duke University (very well ranked)
Drexel
Carnegie Mellon
Penn State
Ball State
U Nebraska – Lincoln
Thunderbird (really intriguing program, and well ranked)
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Rensselaer Polytechnic (an up and coming program)
I’m sure there are others as well. The easiest way to find them isn’t to search for "online MBA", as the ones that come up are crappy for-profit schools. Instead, find an MBA program that you like, offline (perhaps use US News & World Report’s MBA rankings lists as a starter) and then check each of their websites to see if they also offer the MBA online. And don’t forget to check schools in Florida – going to a fairly localish school online can be a nice way to blur that "online" bit on your resume. From a glance, an employer need not know that you did it online at all, if it’s in any sort of commutable distance.
Another option for you may be to find an in-person weekend MBA program, such as the ones offered by Kellogg, Michigan State, Johns Hopkins, and U Cal Berkeley. Perhaps U of F offers one? Or even your current school? If not, and you have the cash and time, people actually fly to, say, Berkeley for the weekend, take their courses, then fly back. Shocking, but true; but when you consider the very strong rep of that school, Kellogg, and Michigan State, I can understand it.
My parents work all day. But i want to be home schooled.
Do they have to be home if i want to do Online Schooling?
no mine aren’t I am home schooled with SOS home schooling and my parents don’t have to grade my daily work the computer does it so my mom does not need to be there. I love mine.But your parents don’t have to be home as long as you are responsible enough to handle it. That is why my parents aren’t going to quit their job to sit there and watch us do work.
My daughter was born in Kanyakumari in the month of March 2009. I want to get her birth certificate online, whats the solution guys? I could see the online birth certificate requests for major cities like Coimbatore and Chennai. What about this district? Unfortunately, i could not directly go there to get it?
Wanna Know if you’re US citizen or not.
If so you can order a replacement birth cerificate from any online site that forward such service.
I can suggest : http://www.replacementbirthcertificate.org that redirect to official government records and will deliver you authentic relpacement birth certificate.
when you arn’t US but Indian you can go to your district or birth place office to get delivred your birth certificate.
Many luck to you
I asked this exact same question yesterday (or the day before) and I literally got 50% of the people answering saying one thing, and the other 50% saying the complete opposite. Let me take another vote….
If they ask something like "How do you plan to fund your studies?"
can I just put "Personal savings and bank loans" or are you supposed to write a complete sentence, "I plan to fund my studis with personal savings and bank loans"
You should answer with a full sentence, because you are not a caveman.
Really, if you *can* write a full sentence, why wouldn’t you? Only one of your options could hurt you, so pick the other one. Write it out.
I am working full time and will be my first semester of college. I plan on taking on my pre-requisites online but wanted to know what they are like. Do you have to do the class at a certain time or meet online for discussions? Since I’ll be working full time I won’t have a flexible schedule to be able to do so and wanted to know if Online Classes offered by community colleges are pretty flexible or not? Thanks!
They are pretty flexible. You can do your work whenever you want and turn it in whenever you want. Some classes will have a designated conference time once a week, but not all classes have this.
I am almost finished with my Bachelors degree in History. I would like to continue on and get my masters in History. I am interested in American Public University’s (APU) History program. But can I get a legitimate masters degree from a fully online institution, that when Im finished I would be able to get a job teaching at a community college? APU is fully accredited but Im leary because the only information about them I can find is on their website. It seems like nobody has heard of them. Any help would be appreciated!
You should go to Walden University. It is fantastic check it out
www.waldenu.edu
I am definitely not feeling the whole public school thing anymore and i am concidering switching to Online Schooling. Can i switch even though it is the beginning of the second semester??
i would just finish the rest of the semester because If you homeschool at second semester you will have to re-do the first semester and posibly fail.

Wait till next year.
I need my birthday certificate (long form) because I am applying for my italian citizenship and was told I could apply for it online. I need the specific link because I’ve been having trouble finding it! Thanks!

It costs $35.
You charge it to a credit card when you order it online.
It takes 15 business days.
You must provide a proper guarantor’s name and contact information… and they will check on them.
I have used this service twice, and never had a problem or delay.
I know they are out there and I am trying to look for one that focuses on international relations/affairs or political science. Basically accredited schools.
Thus far I have only been able to find the George Bush School in Texas.
There are literally dozens of them available. Try this search engine to find what you are looking for.
I am currently a Sophomore in high school and my high school only has a limited selection of classes. I was hoping i could take some classes online so that my Transcript is better. I want to keep going to high school and take 2-3 classes online at the same time. Is there any way to do that? Where should I sign up? Hoe much does it cost? Any help would be great!
Well I am involved with this program in my state and they are great. They have them in a few different states. (I provided the link to your state) They are free and provide laptops and printers as well. Im not sure if you would just be able to pick up a few extra classes or if you have to go full time, but give em a call and find out! It is called Insight, and it is a online school.
