Boston University has a good online program as well, although it is quite expensive. Around $30k for a Masters degree.

I'm considering to undertake one of those online BSc degrees soon, as there aren't any viable options for what I want to study in my current country as I am an expat here.

This thread has been very helpful in checking out different schools and programs.

I vote sticky as well!

I would also like to see this thread as the Sticky. More and more B&Ms are offering online degrees and this list only touches a small percentage of them.

The board of regents of the university system of Georgia offers Bachelor Of Science in IT aka WebBSIT

Georgia::WebBSIT

You must be enrolled at one of the 5 member institutions offering the program, you can see the list of schools at the site. apparently in-state and out-of-state tuition is the same at $310 per credit hour.

I just saw where UNC-Greensboro is now offering their MSITM curriculum online, starting this fall.

Master of Science in Information Technology and Management, Bryan School of Business, UNCG

I don't know about tuition. I'm certain you don't get a break of you're out of state, though.

eansdad

N.C. State has a Masters in CS and Harvard (Extension) has a B.S. in CS and M.S. in IT.

I 2nd to sticky this thread.

How does UNC-Greensboro compare to, say, UNC-Chapel Hill? (No, I'm not being sarcastic or facetious...) I am just curious though.

This is an awesome list, thanks! I definitely want to do an online program because I work at a NOC during graveyard on weekends. On a slow night, I sometimes spend 6 hours of free time to study. Getting paid to attend graduate school! Awesome!

East Carolina and Illinois/Springfield looks like strong possibilities for me after I finish up with WGU. (I'm quite sure others will be discovered down the road, but these two look good to me right now.) I wonder how accommodating those two schools will be with WGU.

This post is GOLDEN, and should be a sticky! Thank you!

Great way to look at it! HAHA!

UNC-G is definitely one of the "little sisters" in terms of prestige, but it's a good school. Bryan School of Business is fairly well respected regionally if not nationally. I would expect the program overall to be on par with the East Carolina offering.

I'm looking at East Carolina (because I'm in NC, it's the cheapest option for me, and my previous manager did his masters online there and had positive things to say about it), and UNCG (I'm familiar with the school since I did my undergrad there years ago, and it's within driving distance if I think I'd be better taking a course in the traditional setting for the harder courses).

I also like Illinois-Springfield; they were one of the very first b&m's to offer this type of thing. They used to offer in-state tuition to all online students (I assume they still do). I was actually enrolled 7 years ago and dropped the first day because I had recently found out I had kid on the way and other stuff in life happening at the time... figured I'd have more time to work on it later. Boy was I wrong!

I am just finishing up my Bachelors of Science in Information Technology with a concentration in Database Management from South University. Not a bad program. A bit pricy like many of the online programs are. They have campuses through out the south. They are owned by Education Management Corp.

Thanks. I'm not totally discounting online options from other B&Ms throughout the country, including Illinois-Springfield, University of Maryland, UMass-Lowell (for the Masters), etc.

I plan on checking out the in-state/near state [NYC] options I have first as well as other logistics. My in-state/near state options I can do off-line, as I'm relatively close from my job/home. Online, I have to consider price and other criteria. It's a decision I can't make lightly, because unlike my BS endeavor, this one will be start-to-finish. Can't afford to waste time/money this time...

Thank you once again.

I also wish for this thread to be a sticky.

The School I am getting my MA through (Capitol College) was one of the original members. There are now over 100 and many offer distance as well as B&M options. There are even some two year schools that offer an AA degree in Information Assurance, none of which are online only (that I could find).

Stevens institute for technology(where i currently am enrolled in my Masters program which i am doing online)

Also you have Drexel listed for undergrad. But they have graduate programs as well for online learning.

I can not say to much about how the online bit works with GSU. i got my BS of IT the old fashioned way.

And we also have a great Football team.

I've been doing some research with Illinois and they require a 3.2 GPA from your undergrad. I am waiting for them to get back to me on how WGU would work for them.

Thank's to jtoast's post from the Capella thread:

I was able to find even more schools that are not only Brick and Mortar, but AACSB-accredited where one can get an MBA online. Some have been mentioned, some others weren't. The last school, Central Michigan U, even has an SAP concentration!

GetEducated.com's online degree rankings are based on a Fall 2009 survey of AACSB accredited masters degrees in business administration (Distance MBA). Costs were valid at the time of collection (Fall 2009).

There's a LOT of schools on that list that haven't even made the thread........you could spend hours going through that list in your pursuit of a good school that's online that offers a MBA online (I'm sure there would be other Masters programs as well.)

Thank you jtoast! Wouldn't have seen this without clicking on your Oklahoma State U. post.

quick question.

lets say i do obtain an online masters from a distinguished state university, for example UoColorado or UoTexas, UofMichigan etc etc.
say a potential employer views your resume and knows that you haven't stepped foot there once. How do you explain it? do you just mention that it was online even though its the same diploma as if you sat there? Obviously its no university of pheonix but ive been wondering. What would HR think?

Since a good number of TEers love bullets so much (for resumes, me too....)

• You can offer to have sent the official transcript from the B&M school upon request from the employer (be it HR or the hiring manager that is interviewing you).
• You can also offer to show writing samples for some of your classes. Personally, I plan on keeping all of my coursework on my thumbdrive.
• Do some homework to help bolster your argument that the online education model is becoming an accepted model for a working adult who wished to further his/her education. One such point would be if it was not a viable model of granting a degree, univerisities such as Penn State, Drexel, U. of Colo, or U. of Texas wouldn't offer them.
• Make some valid points that the online model of receiving an education is actually much harder than the traditional model of receiving an education.

After about another decade, or two......a lot of degree programs are either going to be entirely online OR have some sort of blended/hybrid program, like what Harvard Extension School offers (their degree programs can't be done entirely online). The online model is not going away...
