Are Online Universites actually credible ?

Credible when it comes to an actual career with the degree that was earned thru the online university ? My degree that I would earn at first would be Bachelor’s in Computer Science. Are online degree’s frownded upon in the professional community? I need some tried and truthful answers. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Because many longstanding, regionally accredited, and completely reputable state universities now offer courses and even degrees online, you can now pursue almost any area of study through distance education.

The links below are the absolute best you will find. They contain more links to many well-respected state university distance education programs.

What distinguishes these sorts of programs is that the courses are generally transferable between regionally accredited institutions. Sometimes, the degrees offered are identical to those earned on campus.

I would advise you to start by looking at the state university system in the state in which you live, and check to see if they offer the programs and courses in which you are interested. If not, check some other state universities. (Pennsylvania has a great system, for instance.)

Avoid the “online universities” (for-profit businesses, like U Phoenix, Capella, AIU, etc.) at all costs. These businesses do not deliver on their promises.

Note: In institutions of higher education, regional accreditation is better than national accreditation. This sounds odd, but I assure you that it is the case. The regional accreditors are:
Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSACS)
New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC)
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCACS)
Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NCCU)
Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)

If a program is not accredited by one of these associations, it is best to stay away.

Also, accreditation in one region is respected in all others. So a degree from an NCCU-accredited institution will be regarded as valid in all areas outside of the Northwest.

Best wishes to you, and good for you for asking the question before wasting your money!

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles EECS is an abbreviation for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. It is a designation used at some universities for the major or department that blends these two fields together. Curriculum for an EECS degree is comparable to the curriculum for a degree in Computer Engineering. One reason behind linking the two areas of study is to provide students with a broad overview of both software and hardware. However there are also reasons for not blending departments: Students who major in theoretical computer science, studying such topics as algorithm analysis and software engineering, may not have any use for extensive electrical engineering classes.

Trait (Computer Science) $74.88 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In computer programming, a trait is a collection of methods, used as a simple conceptual model for structuring object oriented programs. Traits are similar to mixins, but whereas mixins can be composed only using the inheritance operation, traits offer a much wider selection of operations, including symmetric sum, method exclusion, and aliasing. A Trait differs from an abstract type in that it provides implementations of its methods, not just type signatures. Traits are supported as a native language feature in the Fortress programming language (where they also play the role of types), in the Scala programming language, the Squeak version of Smalltalk from version 3.9, and in Perl 6 (which calls them roles ), as an addon by the Moose module for Perl 5 and the Joose framework for JavaScript, and have been proposed for inclusion in PHP 4] and ActionScript 3.0. Module mixins in Ruby are similar to traits to some degree. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
