Q: Is it possible to earn a dental hygienist associate degree online?
I live 3 hours from Minneapolis/St. Paul and want to know if its possible to earn an associate degree online or if there is somewhere closer to get the classes necessary to become a dental hygienist.

A: The key is to make sure the college/university is accredited. I have three basic recommendations for everyone looking into online/distance education. They all have to do with exploring; after all, you have to defend your assets. 1. Make certain that you have triple checked their accreditation. First, they tell you what it is, then you go to that accrediting body’s website (not through the link provided by the school), and thirdly you would visit the department of education to see what they have to say. Do your diligent research into the institutions once you have narrowed down to a couple. You can look at the Better Business Bureau for more information on the college. 2. You must have extreme self motivation and be able to teach yourself per say. This means that you will not have someone telling you verbally, so it is up to you to get the information from the course room, text, and other resources. The best way to look at it is like a guided independent study course. 3. Review your goals, personal and professional. Make sure that the school that you are going to offers the programs that match your goals. Do not settle. There are many programs that are similar, but you have to make the ultimate decision. Do not let it be based on finances and length of program, but the fact that when you are finished or near finished you will be able to assume your proper place in the career field sought. You should market yourself and not the degree or university. There are many traditional universities offering degrees that can be earned through online methods. Distance Learning Alliance has a list of these traditional online schools. Look at that if you are truly concerned with the name of the school. Good luck on your search!

A: No....not possible.

Q: Can a student apply to a university as a transfer if he/she holds an online associate degree?
With all the pop-up ads popping out of nowhere... I might as well entertain the online degree ads... are online associate degrees capable of allowing students to apply in universities as transfers?

A: It would depend on both schools, if the online school is accredited and the university is public I think you'd be fine, but definitely check with the university you want to go to 1st.

Q: Legal Assistant Associate Degree online?
I started working as a receptionist/office assistant recently (4 months ago) and would love to use that time to gain office experience and references but pursue a different career at the same time. I was thinking about a Legal Assistant / Paralegal classes that would give me Associate Degree, and hopefully, later, BA. I would rather do it online - is there any school that you Guys recommend? Thanks... I'm in NY... But it shouldn't matter with the online classes, right?

A: Online classes look tacky and unimpressive on a resume. Here's a link to ABA accredited schools in NY: http://www.abanet.org/legalservices/paralegals/directory/ny.html Don't waste your time or money with on-line classes. You cannot learn legal stuff online, you just can't. The only schools worth going to are ABA (American Bar Association) accredited, and trust me, potential employers will ask if your school was ABA accredited. ABA accredited schools may have the generel education (like english, math, science, etc) classes online, but the substantive legal classes are on campus because it can't be taught and learned online. So you might be able to take some of your classes online, but the rest you will have to go on campus for.

Q: Will an associate degree from an online nationally accredited college allow me to work in the NC schools?
The college is based out of Georgia. I am looking to take an online teachers assistant course and the college is in GA but I live in NC.

A: You will need a bachelor's degree with a major in elementary education or in a subject commonly taught in secondary schools plus professional education credits. The college where you earn your degree must be certified by a regional accrediting association and preferably also by NCATE (National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education). This site has a list of the schools in Georgia that are accredited by NCATE. http://www.ncate.org/institutions/stateInstit.asp?ch=106&state=GA A reputable Georgia college would be accredited by SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) which has its headquarters in Decatur, Georgia. You can find out whether the college you are planning to attend is accredited by SACS by calling (404) 679-4558. There are a number of "accrediting" bodies that are not recognized by the academic community - they are a sham. s

Q: Does anyone have any suggestion on an online college that I can complete my Associate Degree?
Does anyone have any suggestion on an online college that I can complete my Associate Degree? I already have 70% of the credits that I need. I am looking for something flexible and will does not cost too much.

A: Honestly, the best online college for you to get an associate's degree is a community college in your city or state. Most community colleges offer 100% online classes, so you can take classes online and get your associate's degree. Plus, since the community college is in your state, you pay in-state tuition, which is very inexpensive at community colleges.

Q: Where can I find a good Online School for an Associate Degree?
I'm looking for online schools, unfortunately not all universities or community colleges offer 100% online courses and my mom does not have the time to attend a class in person. Any ideas?

A: While all schools don't offer their degree 100% online, most do now teach online. Some offer more courses than others. For an associates degree, what she could do is take online classes online at any regionally accredited college (I like Louisiana State and Brigham Young University because they're both good and inexpensive) and then transfer those to one of the "Big Three" assessment colleges for the degree. Excelsior College http://www.excelsior.edu Thomas Edison State College http://www.TESC.edu Charter Oak State College http://www.COSC.edu each of these is regionally accredited and accept nearly 100% of the degree in transfer credit. This way, she could take classes anywhere either online or in class and transfer them to her home school. If she wanted to take an English class online at Harvard and her math classes at UC-Berkeley, she could do that. It also allows her to be able to take classes in anything - some schools don't teach everything she might want to learn but there is a school somewhere teaching anything you want to learn. This way, you're not restricted to just what's offered at one school. These colleges also allow you to test out of any class. If she already knows all about English composition - she can take one test for 6 credits of freshman English. (CLEP/DANTES/ECE/AP/IB/etc...) and they don't limit the number of hours you can test out of. Of the three, my favorite is Excelsior College but then, I have a Bachelor of Science from Excelsior College. ☺ BTW - online classes don't take less time than regular classes. They just don't require that you go to a classroom. An online class from a good school will be harder than the same class in the classroom.

A: Lots of jobs in what is called the allied medical field get started with an associate's degree, and you can (and will almost certainly need to) continue onto a bachelor's later. Things like phlebotomist (drawing blood), respiratory therapist, nurse, radiation technologist, dental hygienist, and lots of others are offered at community colleges that have an allied heath department. Of course you have to be okay with blood, mucous, vomit, poo, pee, and people. My brother is a respiratory therapist, graduated from a two year community college program almost 30 years ago, and he was worked consistently and is well paid for his job. He has to take a couple of courses each year to stay current. Phlebotomist is a one year course. I have a niece who took a two year program at the same community college in culinary arts about 5 years ago. She has lived in several cities working in hotel kitchens and supported her young, itinerant life style quite well. She then went to a Cordon Bleu school and is an executive chef at a restaurant in a medium sized progressive city out west. You can also get a two year degree in computer studies and work on a help desk. That pays well, and with a bachelor's later, you can certainly move up. Another field where you can work with an AA is the legal field as paralegal. There are also BA programs at some universities so you can continue to move up in your field. Construction trades are really hurting for new people, so if you like that kind of work, check that out. Welding, masonry, plumbing, and all those things pay well. Hope that helps give you some idea. These are all high growth and high demand areas for the forseeable future. The only caution I would lend is that you can also study these same things at independent career colleges, and while you may get good training at them and will be employable initally on par with an AA from a community college, the independents are generally NOT accredited and this means that your credits will not transfer to a bachelor's program at a four year school. Some of the independents are good schools, but they operate primarily as a business and not as an educational institution, and you are wasting your time, effort, and considerable money, in my opinion, by going to them for anything other than the building trades, etc. Other unaccredited schools are "diploma mills," and not worth what you will put into the effort. Schools spend a lot of time getting and staying accredited. There are national accreditations which are primary for the college itself, and then desirable speciality accrediations for specific programs that distinguish them. I did a search and linked info about both in the source field for you below. Check out your schools carefully, and at least make a test call to a four year institution about the CC and program you're considering to see if it transfers. Otherwise you will have to take everything over again at the 4 year school when you decide to go for the bachelor's. That is a heartbreaker! Best regards.

Q: How much does it cost, exactly, to get a 2-year degree online?
I am looking to go back to college online for an Associates degree in business administration/human resources management. There are thousands of resources on the Internet and I am finding it daunting trying to figure out how MUCH each online program costs. I am hopeful someone reading this will know of a succinct resource that breaks this humongous list down by pricing.

A: I am an in-state student at a technical school that offers associate's degrees. I am a full time student, and I pay about $475 per quarter, plus the cost of books. Books can range from under $40 to upwards of $200 per quarter. Out-of-state students pay more for tuition. So basically I'm paying at least $2000 per year, and if you go full-time for two years, then it's around $4,000 plus the cost of the books for the courses. Hope that helps you! Good luck!
