Found accredited, practical distance learning college program fits needs, costs ok, what think of them?

My problem is not that good with computer, although use a lot for internet basic learning. Found an accredited college that fits my interests and needs for teaching very well. At 50 and having Ph.D. feel a little schooled out, however. However, this distance learning program has excellent, courses, NEVER thought would find in a political science administrative program. My interests and background in political science is more of an academic nature for teaching, than administrative work. Ph.D., not worth paper printed on, is in history. With health problems (several years ago had to withdraw from history adjunct teaching) a little better thought perhaps having history and political science might make more possible another chance. In health situation would not make full-time teaching possible. Adjunct (part-time teaching at low salary still get me by).All thoughts, ideas, personal experience would relate about distance learning, online degree would be greatly appreciated.

3. First of all, *don't* go to Pheonix for a distance learning degree, especially if you're a little rusty with computers. Two ideas that might fit a person a little rusty with computers and have a good reputation are the University of London and the Open University. Now for the degree itself. I didn't understand if this is a Political Science degree or a degree in Public Administration (MPA). The latter is not bad, even at 50 (you're not insulted that I'm saying that? you know that it is difficult to find employment at that age); the former is another adjunct route. In your condition, I would have had considered a degree that is less reliant upon employment, and could lead to work as an independent consultant or a self-employed person, e.g. a degree in business, law, management or educational administration. The latter could be especially perfect for you, because you already have contacts, presumably, with colleges and CCs as an adjunct, and here you can get to the real source of power - the college administration...
