Online Master's of Education degrees - HELP!?

Please save my bleary eyes from more research. I am a spouse of a U.S. military officer, living in Asia (not near any universities). Obviously, I cannot obtain a master's degree in the traditional sense. That leaves online. My concern is having a degree on my resume from an institution that nobody's heard of. I know that there are plenty of good quality schools out there that are not widely known. However, I feel a bit leery of the schools that are exclusively online. Even if they're properly accredited, are there any exclusively online schools that are great quality, somewhat known, and "safe?" Some of the well known schools like Drexel and Penn St. have some online master's degree programs, but their programs are not as flexible as the lesser known schools' programs. Being a military spouse who moves frequently, flexibility is critical. Quality is critical! Thoughts? Advice? Thank you for your time in reading this long post.

  1. Phoenix Online has a master degree in education. Although it is not a Drexel or Penn St. when it comes down to reputation - its masters degree program in education is certainly accept by the majority (if not all states by now) department of educations as legitimate. I would suggest looking at Phoenix's program. No one in education today can honestly say (unless their head has been in the sand for the past 10 plus years) has not heard of Phoenix Online's online degree programs (although they might be unaware of their master's in education program. Good Luck!!!
