  1. Yes, from an accredited university. UMUC is an excellent school. www.umuc.edu
  2. As long as the online program is accredited and a reputable university. I personally wouldn't go to Walden or University of Phoenix. Many Universities offer online degrees that count the same as if you went to their campus. I would look for a program like that. What are you wanting to get your degree in? I just completed a masters in Early Childhood Education that only took 18 months and cost around 13,000.00. It wasn't too time consuming. I still manged to work full time and be a mommy. Plus I had the benefit of being able to go talk to my professors and classmates.
  3. I would say yeah they are credible as long as the school has a accredited program. Personally I see them as kind of less rewarding and not as good. I understand people need flexibility with work and school but I dont recommend online colleges. Preferable if you can take online courses at a community college or university since most of them offer classes online. Just as a note, even Shaq has a MBA from the University of Phoenix. I aint calling him dumb but really...
  4. The trick is not to go to an "online" school, but to go to a real university online....Almost all majot universities have online classes.
