What is a good online school?
Favorite Answer
If you must study online, you must definitely do it the smart way — through a reputable brick and mortar school that offers distance education. Many state universities are now doing this. The University of Iowa, the University of Maryland, and Penn State University all come to mind.

Degrees through these fine schools will be much more respected than any piece of paper issued by AIU or Phoenix. Earning these degrees will also likely be much cheaper!

If you are competing against Ivy League grads for a position on Wall Street, forget it.
The most common areas I’ve seen online graduates have success are:
1) They are already within a company, have an excellent track record, and need a regionally accredited degree to be considered for a promotion.
2) The “geographically challenged”. If an employer is recruiting from a pool of applicants in the area (or looking to build a skill set internally), the only choice may be online degrees for certain skills or training. Think Idaho / Midwest.
However, online schools lack the prestige or name recognition of traditional on ground schools. For alot of military personnel, policemen, people with odd shifts, and working adults, online degrees are the only option.
One way to find out is to ask up front if the degree will be acceptable to the employer or grad school you are interested in.
After you have practical experience, your success and accomplishments become more important than the name on the degree.
Make sure any program you enter is regionally accredited. Regional accreditation shows that the school has passed a review process that will help ensure that your credits will transfer to other schools and that you are eligible to sit for licensing exams such as the CPA exam.

There are some less than competent HR managers that will toss qualified applicants, but fortunately it is rare.

As you described; “I am thinking about getting my associates in accounting. Does anyone know a reputable online school for this type of degree? Also, do employers think negatively about an online degree vs. going to college?” I hope it may help you.

It won’t make them get teased less or be a loner. Some people who homeschool make all homeschooled kids out to be nearly identical, perfectly behaved, academically advanced with superior social skills. Some people who promote schools make all homeschooled kids out to be anti-social losers and hermit. Common sense and meeting a few homeschooled kids (and schooled kids) will tell you that they are individuals. Other than school, the world is open to all kids, and regardless of how you get your education, it’s up to you to make the most of your interactions in the outside world. You can teach your schooled child to pay for purchases as easily as you can a homeschooled child. The shopkeeper isn’t going to tell a schooled child, “Oh sorry, I only chat with homeschooled kids.” Volunteer opportunities are open to everyone. Anyone can go to the library, museum, zoo, interact with a wide variety of people. Schooled kids are limited between 8:15 and 3:00. After that and on the weekend, it’s open. Homeschooled kids are limited only if they choose to be. If they only interact with their homeschool and church group, chances are their social contacts aren’t very diverse; churches are limited to members of their faith and many support groups aren’t very diverse. But they have the choice to volunteer, do sports, interact with people who aren’t homeschooled and adults. Many do. In my experience, there is little difference in the outside interaction of the two groups if you look at like demographic groups. The children of educated, financially secure parents have varied social experiences outside of their educational settings. The children of parents who cannot afford a variety of different activities don’t. What I’m saying is that this is all about your choices and your ability to access those choices whether you homeschool your kids or not.
