Shampoo & Conditioner asked:


Can you have an associate, bachelor and master degree in completely different fields/majors?
Example:
Like getting an associate degree in art history. Then a bachelor degree in marine biology. Then a master’s in child care.

Or does it all have to be the same major or same field?

There are many people that dream of getting a bachelors degree, but the thought of interrupting their career or family life to attend traditional classes seems impossible. The notion of trying to attend numerous classes when you are already busy with your career and family life is just not feasible. On the other hand, you know that a bachelor’s degree would enhance your future job success and earnings. It is in this regard that colleges and universities are now making it possible to acquire a college degree online.

Once you have made the decision to pursue your degree, take the time to study all the options available. There is a vast amount of information about obtaining your online degree. In addition, numerous colleges and universities now offer degrees and course study online. If you wish to pursue your bachelor degree online, be sure that the school is accredited. An accredited college or university means that the state’s guidelines have been met and the degree is deemed credible. Therefore, learn as much as possible about the school and the perquisites for a bachelor’s degree.

Advantages of pursuing an online degree are endless. There is no commute to school, no need to shuffle classes or reshuffle your life in order to attend a particular class, no requirement to live on campus, etc. However, you will need to stay disciplined at home to get your course work done. In addition to the discipline, you will need a quite place to work at home.

Because of the importance of this matter, I will repeat again that the school and the courses you select to pursue your bachelor’s degree online are accredited. The online degree industry has become a big business over the last 5 years or so and it would be a shame to waste your time and money for a degree that is not accredited. On the other hand, if you wish to expand your education just for the sake of learning, then accreditation will not make a difference.

Now is the time to improve your chances of landing a better job, better earnings or even change your career. Your future and success is in your own hands and there is no excuse for not pursing a college or university degree online. Classes and course material are usually delivered by way of computer, but don’t worry if you are not computer savvy. All you will need is a computer and an internet connection to get you started.

An online bachelor degree is fast becoming the most popular way of getting a good education. Doing an online bachelor degree allows you to study an online bachelor degree program of your choice without having to worry about the fees or attendance.

Why are Online Degrees Programs so Popular?

Often students avoid studying bachelors degrees either because they aren’t able to cope up with the pace of learning the course sets, or they can’t afford a college education, or they may not have been able to study the course that truly interests them. Online education provides students a unique opportunity to study without having to worry about these problems. A bachelor degree program is usually grounded in a specific field of study, for example business and is accompanied by a major in a more specialized field, for example marketing. The specialized field is focused on longer than others in the curriculum and allows the student to define more clearly their chosen path of employment and career.

Why do Online Bachelors?

If you want to earn a degree online then the choice of online bachelor degree programs before you is enormous. Whether you are interested in doing an education degree online, nursing degree online or an online teaching degree you can do these online courses from an online degree university.

Bachelors degrees online can be done at pace set by the students and online classes can be attended at a time and place convenient to you. So you can do online bachelor degree programs even while you work or do a vocational course. A bachelor degree online gives a student the same qualifications in their chosen field as its offline counterpart but can be done in a shorter time and generally for substantially less cost. It has also been a great experiment for universities as they have been able to accept more students into faculties because of less restrictions on time, money and geography for entering youngsters.

Online degrees are far cheaper than on campus bachelors degrees and hence can be afforded by all.

You can do more than one and can even select online bachelors courses that you would not have got admission to had you been doing the same on campus.

The resources and faculty for bachelors degrees online are excellent and the student has several ways of staying in contact with the teachers as well as the other students doing the program.

Online bachelors degrees can be done even if you don’t live in the same country as the online degree university, this is particularly useful for students who wish to move and work there. Thus with an accredited bachelor degree in hand you are better equipped to the challenges of moving and working in a new country.

Why Opt for an Accredited Online Bachelor Degree?

The purpose of education is not just to enlighten the minds of students but to help them gain success in their careers. It is important that the online bachelor degree you do is an accredited bachelor degree. An accredited online bachelors degree brings with it the recognition that the online bachelor degree is done from a recognized online degree university and that the online degrees programs it offers are validated. In other words such on line degrees are valued more by prospective employers and other educational institutions.

As the demand for the online Bachelor degree rises, so do the number of fake colleges and universities.  Some actually offer diplomas for sale to potential customers through bulk emails.  However, many take advantage of innocent and unsuspecting students by offering lower than normal tuition fees, credit for life experiences, no tests, and an easy road to that coveted diploma. If it sounds too good to be true, it generally is the case.

So, how do prospective students determine whether an online college is accredited or only offering bogus online Bachelor degrees?  Especially for International students, it can be very difficult to determine a school’s validity. In most cases it is impossible for distance learners to visit the campus, so the website is the only point of contact before making the choice and enrolling, which makes it hard to determine credibility.

One of the qualifying factors that can be utilized by students to make correct enrolment decisions is by determining the type of college accreditation that has been received by their college of consideration. If the college vaguely states itself as having “nationwide or worldwide accreditation” without stating specifically which regional accreditation body it is accredited with, then most likely this college does not possess legitimate accreditation.

The six accreditation agencies given the authority to grant college and university accreditation are entrusted with governing the institutions within their geographical section of the United States as follows: New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), North Central Association of Schools and Colleges (NCA), Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA), Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SACS), Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (NWCCU). With specific states for each agency, it is easier to check whether an online learning facility is accredited and registered.

Another tell-tale sign of bogus online bachelor degrees offered is when the university advertises itself through mass-mailing email featuring university degrees for sale. Many bogus distance learning institutions prey on people who are desperate for a degree, but don’t have the time and money to go for proper education. That is why these colleges boast of degrees without any examinations, classes, studying or even waiting. There are even websites that offer online bachelor degrees for just a few hundred dollars which can be ordered and received within 7 days. Furthermore, some of them also have dubious accrediting links, stating accreditation from agencies which are not any one of the six listed above. Additionally, they offer fixed prices for their Master’s, Bachelor’s, and even Doctorate Degrees. Their justification for awarding degrees will be for giving credit to life experiences such as any type of work experience, any educational background, any workshops or community services attended as well as travel experience, hobbies and even on the number of books that a person has read!

In short, because of the influx of fake degrees, it leaves the employers worried about the legitimacy of online Bachelor Degrees. Thus to avert these fears and ensure you get a job with an online degree, it is imperative to carefully select a college that possesses all the support and resources to provide quality education approved by the U.S. Department of Education, and granted accreditation through one of the 6 designated agencies with the authority to award proper accreditation to legit institutions.

I want to be a vet, and need to get a bachelor degree first. I thought about going to community college here for two years and then away for two years, but will a vet school really find community college impressive?

What scholarships can I get to pay for vet school. Do I have to get the Bachelors degree first? Some schools say it isn’t needed.

An accredited online bachelor degree is now much more available as a result of the very significant improvements there have been with both the personal computer and communication technology.

If you decide to enrol in an online university degree program, you can access all the course work provided by your chosen university via Internet, email, discussion forums etc. With the passage of time, the online university degree programs have gained immense popularity. There are many reasons for the growing popularity of the accredited online bachelor degree programs. Lets take a closer look at the advantages of an online bachelor degree and the online universities.

The most important advantage of getting your degree online is the flexibility offered by the online universities. You can work at your own pace in your courses. They do not demand any stringent commitment to specific times. Also, if you wish to do the work you can get your bachelor degree faster than with a traditional university. They can be completed in as little as 18 months but it does require at lot of hard work.

An accredited bachelor degree is recognized all over the world regardless of whether it was earned online or in a traditional classroom setting. So you need not worry about the authenticity of the online university degree programs. There is a wide range of options for online bachelor degree and online universities. So make sure that you spend adequate time on research and enrol in one of the best, most reputable universities.

An online university degree program will also allow you to earn a living while you are studying. Because there are no time restrictions, you are free to do what you like and take your own time to finish the courses. One of the best things about e-learning is that you don’t have to travel or relocate to study for your bachelor’s degree.

You won’t find much difference between an online bachelor degree and a regular campus bachelor degree so it is ideal for students who are working or have family commitments. Regular attendance at a campus doesn’t play a role in an online degree program.

There is absolutely no reason for not choosing an online program. The certificate that you will get at the end of the course from the online university will not specify whether you earned an online bachelor degree or a traditional degree. So think before you actually dismiss the idea of earning an accredited online bachelors degree.

Remember, you have nothing lose and everything to gain!

Choosing accounting as the choice of your career means that you will need an education. While there are a number of good schools to choose from, unless you are single, and don’t have a job, the easiest way to go would be to get your education through an online program. Some schools can even give you a combination of on-campus classes and online courses. This is convenient, and easy, so let me now give you rest of the skinny on an online Bachelors Degree in Accounting.

Get A Balanced Education

Working in the field of Accounting will usually occur in a business setting. This means that the particular program you take needs to offer more than just accounting courses. Good programs will offer about 60+ class hours in accounting, some of which need to be related to business management and business law. The balance of the courses is in liberal arts. This is a good balance, gives you a more rounded education, and prepares you for the job in a better way.

Get Thoroughly Prepared

The College of your choice should offer Accounting classes that cover a number of areas related to the field. There should be a balanced course offering that should cover such things as taxes, payroll, accounting for corporations, analyzing financial statements, and must include the using of various software programs for accounting.

Online Classes Offered In Real Time

A couple of the Degree programs have made it so that you can “sit-in” on the classes by logging in to the classes online. This also means that there is a time limit in completing the course requirements - it will be the same as for on on-campus class.

Check for State Requirements Being Met

Many colleges offer courses in Accounting simply to be able to say that they are well rounded. However, not every college offers the required courses according to the individual state requirements necessary for certification. This may mean that, after you graduate, that you may not yet be qualified to fulfill the job requirements for an accounting position. So, before you enroll, be sure that you know what the requirements are up front.

Another thing to check for is to ensure that the College or University is accredited. This would not be something that you want to assume, as you will be the one investing a lot of money for your “accredited” education.
