Need info on an online Bachelor degree from an accredited university. 

I'm in my third year of working full time, and I work for a government contractor doing IT/Telecom work so I'm a little worried about job security. I have ~2 years (I think about 60 credit hours) worth of college credits, but they're split up among 2 different schools so I believe they're going to be worth much much less once I transfer. However, I would like to get a piece of paper at some point saying I completed a Bachelor’s. I believe its best to go for an online degree and I want to learn about the colleges that are accredited and offer such degrees. Please do help me move further on.

Re: Need info on an online Bachelor degree from an accredited university. 

There are many colleges and universities poising themselves to attract students just like you.  I know of two that you may be particularly interested in. Both offer online programs and both are considered to be “transfer friendly.”

Because you have employment experience you may also want to look into Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) for experiential learning.

Check out these articles from CollegeTransfer.Net:

Good luck.  Don’t forget to come back to the CollegeTransfer.Net Forum and share what your transfer experience was like.

Counting on your experience I would say that you may be getting an advantage of it in other jobs. As far as credits are concerned I think that there is time limits for them…you better enquire about that. Having a B.degree is like having a license to get a better job with growth. You should check out  www.distance-learning-college-guide.com online-bachelor-degrees.html Online bachelor degree  since you are interested in an online degree as they have a list to male you enhance your options.

Unfortunately, I would guess that very few (if any) of your credits would apply to any online colleges, especially if it has been more than a few years since you have taken those classes. Here is a great link to learn more about online classes and how to register for them.

Also check out http://onlinedegreeprograms.org for some additional info.

Hope this helps!
