Kaplan or Capella?

ericsa — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 06:28:35 GMT

Hello All,

I have a question. I have currently been taking online classes since 2006. I started with Colorado Technical University (CTU), and went for an ASIT degree. I obtained it in June of last year (08). I became enfatuated with the Networking side of IT while there so I started looking into schools that offered strictly Networking. I found Kaplan which offered a BSNT strictly Network Technology courses. I applied and started in August of last year. I currently had a family issue come up tht caused me to have to withdraw for the time to take care of things. I would have taken a leave but I was already into the session so I had to drop. Anyway, I was told that they have dropped the BSNT program due to lack of enrollment. They are offering a BSIT with an Emphasis is Network Administration. I am looking around at schools to see if anything interests me before I enroll back with Kaplan. I have found Capella which offers a Networking program, and have found it to be very interesting. They also offer a MS in Networking and even go into a PhD in Technology. This interests me because you normally can't find an online school which does that (go all the way to PhD in a specific study). I am mainly wondering if any of you out there know much about Capella. Will they accept an Associates Degree from CTU? Will they accept credits from Kaplan? Are books included in tuition? (that is a big must for me). Are they a good school? What is their online environment like? Any information on this school, plus any answers to the questions above would greatly help me out. Also, any suggestions on other online schools that I may have overlooked that you might think would be better. Thanks to all that respond!

Hi Everybody --

I work for a small private college and we are offering an accelerated online degree in business. This is a new program for us and we want to make sure it meets the student need. What do you want out of an online program?

Thanks for your help.

Good BS IT degree program?

stargecko — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 16:07:19 GMT

Hello, all!

I'm currently attending Capella University for my BS in Computer Science, but I'm less than impressed with their setup. It's extremely difficult to cram everything in each week, it's pretty expensive ($1700 per quarter - financial aid only pays for part of it), and it's hard to figure out what each assignment really is asking for. I only have 2 years left, but I'd like those 2 years to not be full of the same constant stress I've had for the last 2 years.

I have talked to reps from the University of Phoenix before, but their programs seem to be about the same.. I have requested information from a bunch of other colleges (let the calls begin flooding in :-P), but I was wondering what other people's experiences have been.

If possible, I'd like it to be a college that has a brick-and-mortar school along with their online programs, because the state I live in doesn't count online-only degrees as being worth anything, employment-wise.

Thanks much for the help!

Which online college is best for BS/BA in Finance ?

dang007 — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 21:08:04 GMT

I am looking to get my Bachelors of Science in Finance and then go onto my Master at the Hans Drucker School of Management's program for a Masters in Financial Engineering.

I am trying to figure out which is the best online college in terms of affordability, teacher guidance, best reputation in business world and career assistance after graduation. I am also considering going with an accelerated degree program but would like to have my options for both. I am currently looking at Western Governors University, University of Maryland University College, University of Massachusetts Amherst and Colorado Technical University.

CTU seems to have the edge in terms of the wy they structured the courses with the chance to participate in live classrooms with teachers when you are able to attend live classes, guide support from actual teachers and accelerated degree program to get your BA in Finance in only 15 months. I am concerned about their career services after graduation, the high cost of the tuition and their acceptance in the business world for employment after school.

University of Maryland University College seems to help with career services after graduation with their undergrads.

They also have a course to Intern with employers which I feel is a big plus too. Having employment experience is

everything.

Does anyone also have advice on where else I can do networking to get my nameout there while I am school so I can

line up employment by the time graduation comes around ?

Aspen University

Re: Online Associates Degree in Business?

mkatan — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 05:56:44 GMT

I will have to side with Helen, in todays job market I seriously doubt an associate degree will be sufficient if you intend to climb up the company's ladder. I would go for the BA or BS in Business. I suggest everyone reads the book "the World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman (its now available in paperback for around $10). The Economies of the world are rapidly changing, we are competing with highly motivated and highly educated colleges in India and China that will work for much less. You need the most advance education you can get.

Good Luck

Hmmm .... IMHO, I would go for the bachelor degree over the associate degree. It would be beneficial to list it on your resume as "In progress" or "Expected 2009"

TESC's Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Transportation/Distribution Management (http://www.tesc.edu/prospective/undergraduate/degree/bsba/bsba_trans_distrubmgnt.pdf) seems like a good fit for you.
