Choose an Online Degree With an Accredited College

Posted on by

These days it is not difficult to find accredited colleges online. However, the credibility of the agency that has given them this license to have an education online, can leave people to wonder. The other question that may come up is, is it more important to be accredited by national standards or by regional standards. The best way to know which is better is to choose a school that does provide a campus for students and also gives the option of an online degree.

There are many universities and colleges that offer online options, and there maybe some that are still in that transition process of giving students the entire degree online. Penn State, is a college that offers degrees that allows students to complete them online. Penn State’s, “World Campus” gives students a chance to go for more than 60 degrees, from their own home or from wherever they chose to study. Students who choose to go with Penn State, are given the same opportunities as those who are on campus students, and the degrees online are recognized by the employers as well. Bachelor degrees from this college are around $57,000, from December 2009.

East Carolina University is also one of the top online schools. The programs at this university are more reasonable in price for students and the cost for a course is $11,880, for resident students, but for those who aren’t it is up to $54,480. These universities are both regional accredited colleges. Regional accreditation, is seen to be more important than the national, because of the standards that are given by the education bodies.

Other schools such as University of Wyoming and Oklahoma State University, also need to be mentioned, because they have programs that are recognized nationally and offer a variety of online classes. These schools, both give graduate and undergraduate programs online. These schools offer students on a budget a chance to go to college. They are also known for their reputation and by their students satisfaction as being great universities.

Here are some other schools that have made online degrees that can be either regionally or nationally seen by the education department. Nova Southeastern has been rated by online education at the top, December 2009, as well as Regent University. The database for online Education rates these schools by its acceptance rate, the financial aid, retention rates and graduation. There are many recommended colleges to choose from so make sure you do your research before making your choice and choose the best accredited college for you.

Dating in college can be a daunting task for many men and women starting out their college careers. This is the first time away from the social circles of high school and meeting a new girl for a date is something most college men have never had to do before.

First off, many girls in college have never gone on a full fledged date with a totally new person. Most of there relationship experience will be coming from their time in high school where they had known the guys they date most of their lives or naturally met him through their social circle. Often, guys will make the mistake of asking the girl out to dinner or on a one on one personal date.

This approach puts a lot of pressure on a girl and unless she really likes you, she will often find a way to get out of it to avoid the awkwardness she fears. Even if she does come, the date will usually be very awkward because neither of you have much first date experience. However there is a much better and easier way to meet up with girls that you’ve met. Simply by making your first hang out EXTREMELY casual will solve this problem.

Perhaps the best way meet and date girls in college however is by making friends with everyone and hosting parties or going out at night in large groups. It is extremely easy and casual to invite a girl you like to join your group on a night out and then get to know each other while having fun. This also gives the girl the chance to meet new people and become friends with people you know. This will make it much more likely you will see her again.

Just remember, when dating in college, keep it simple and casual.
