Best/Quickest Online College
 
Curious where people, if any, are going to school online. Need to finish up my degree now that things have settled.

Speed, price reputation.

Thanks.

Believe it or not, I actually had a good experience with Riddle online. I did the B.S. in Aeronautics and they were able to transfer all of my credit from a previous school and gave a decent amount of credit for my CPL and even remote pilot certificate. The cost wasn't too bad at $413 per credit hour. The course work was good and I only ran into problems with one class I took.

They do 9 week terms and usually suggest two classes per term which kept things moving.

Are you looking for a B.A. or a B.S.? Not sure it matters in this context, but i may be wrong.

I've had several co-workers use University of North Dakota for a new Bachelor's or a Masters. Good reports. I'd be wary of trying to do an Engineering Degree online though if you have that in mind. There are some things to consider and the extra time and hassle may not be value-added for what you are trying to accomplish.

I’ll second what Badger said. Possibly a little more expensive than some, but ease of use was well worth it.

I used Utah Valley University. Pretty easy program, low $300s per credit, and got a boatload of "experience credit" by saying I'm an airline pilot.

Excellent info thank you. I will check them out.

I did Embry Riddle Worldwide and was very happy. Others are doing Liberty University.

I'm about to work on my 4 yr (already have a 2 yr) and am trying to decide between Thomas Edison and Utah Valley.

First priority is speed, ease of coursework and amount of credit given for ATP, etc. Price is a much more distant factor.

Which of these two schools should I choose?

TIA
