Receiving a college degree has never been easier due to the availability of online college degrees. Not every online college is reputable or accredited. However, here are the top five accredited online college degrees.
University of Phoenix- Teaching credential
The University of Phoenix is a popular accredited school. My sister in law received her teaching credential here. Education is a good field to get into because of its stability and good benefits. Also, while it is hard work, the concepts are not too difficult. Thus, if you listen, do the work and collaborate online, you will be able to earn this degree. If you already have a bachelor’s Degree, the University of Phoenix is a great place to get a Master’s in Education or an Elementary Credential. One good thing about the University of Phoenix is that you work with other students by interacting online. You also get feedback from instructors. Another plus is that the times are flexible. You have to participate online three to five times a week. However, you get to choose the dates and times.

You can’t go wrong with a degree in business economics. This degree gives you the skills needed to be a financial analyst, economist, business analyst, bank manager, market research specialist, investment analyst and a director of finance. Ashford University has been around since 1918 and they have a “graduate-degreed faculty with real world experience in the fields they teach.” Another plus is that Ashford allows you to transfer up to 99 semester credits.
National University-Special Education
My husband received his special education credential through National University. Most of the classes he has taken are online. Working as a Special Education Teacher is great for people who are patient and have a great way with special needs kids. Currently, National University offers a Masters of Science in Special Education with an emphasis in the deaf and hard-of-hearing. This degree is geared toward learning about how to teach students who are deaf and hard of hearing so that they can perform to the best of their abilities. When you specialize your degree, it is often easier to get a teaching job too. The best thing about National is that you can focus on one class at a time. The classes are quick and take only a month to complete. If you think you may be interested in a special education degree, go online and complete online course demo.
Devry-Computer Engineering Technology Degree Program
Compared with other degrees, computer engineers make some of the highest salaries. Devry is a great school for receiving your computer engineering degree. Devry promises that “upon graduation, you’ll have the skills to create advanced electronics like iPods, cell phones, and defense-related equipment, and work in research, manufacturing, medical, communications, security, and consumer products markets.” Indeed, with technology becoming increasingly important, computer engineering is a vital skill to have. Devry claims that their ” 84% of their October ’08 graduates “in the active job market were employed in their field at an average salary of $40,859.* That’s a pretty good success rate.
Kaplan- Health Care Administration
A degree in Health lets you be part of government, nonprofit and private health care organizations. With all of the trouble with health care, this is a field to go into if you want to help change the system. Going to Kaplan is a good choice because it has interactive seminars and discussion boards. Also, you get to go on web “field trips.” Finally, you get immediate feedback after taking online quizzes.
