Which Southern Virginia Universities are best for English majors and allow online degrees?
Comments(2) | Undedr: Online Degrees
I’d like to earn my degree through a well known university or college that will let me do all or most of it online. I am an English major (in Comm. College right now). I know some great schools are really only great if you are becoming an engineer so I need a school that will be taken seriously if I English major there. Help!

Longwood is your best bet. I am pretty sure they have an extension office that allows for online studies. Talk to your advisor at your community college, I am sure they can help you better than us folks at Yahoo! Answers.

There are tons of online programs. I personally attended traditional and online-only schools, and I have taught for various online schools and traditional schools over the last five years. All are accredited and solid programs. Schools tend to vary in price, so we could say online schools are more expensive, but that is relative. Of course they are more expensive than a community college, but less expensive than Harvard. The price range varies.
The key is to find a program that is fully accredited. 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!
