Online degrees? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

My work pays 100% of tuition on all undergrad degree's, but my work schedule makes it nearly impossible to actually go to school. I've decided to see if I can find an online option that is halfway decent. Has anyone gone the online route or have recommendations? I still haven't decided even what to get a degree in, I just know I need to get out of here ASAP.

I don't know what the online undergrad offerings are, but for certain disciplines, online is the future. A ton of MBA programs (Duke, Dartmoth, etc...) are beginning to offer online graduate degrees.

If you're looking for undergrad stuff...I'm sure there are plenty of options that are not just University of Phoenix...not that there's anything wrong with that.

I hear star athletes at Mississippi State use a program from a school in the intermountain west...

I'd like to avoid the UoP if possible because of the high cost. My company will pay it all, but I would be taxed on everything above $5250/year which in the case of the UoP would be over 10 credit hours.

I would just start searching for online programs and see if you can come up with something other than UOP or Regis.

Spicoli over on CB used to work for UoP, I believe. He probably knows a bit about the industry and could tell you about some alternatives.
