Question by Kanna A: Accredited online degrees without proctored exams?
I thought it might be a good idea to ask for feedback about potential colleges. There are hundreds of online colleges, and they all look the same to me. I’m willing to be very, very flexible in the degree program as long as it’s a BA/BS at the end. Online degrees at physical colleges seem to be happening more and more as well, but most of them don’t advertise themselves as online schools so it’s difficult to know what’s available (and I hate those find-your-degree-online-here! websites, they don’t give you anything but a google list essentially).
What I need is a college that will:
1) take previous college credits,
2) not require proctored exams (or very, very few),
3) also not have phone/web conferences b/c I work 12 hour shifts
4) would be accredited nationally and/or with the military (and not self accredited)
Does anyone know any colleges that I could look into with those qualifications?

Check out Ashford University. They will take up to 96 credit hours from another college, there are no proctored exams, the time that you log on is up to you (within reason), and they are regionally accredited so they are recognized and accepted by anyone.

Here is the link to search on any college/university you might consider, to ensure it is accredited (do not decide just based on college’s webpage…there are many levels of accreditation…but it must be accredited by US Dept of Education). Your best bet is to check with colleges in your state (in-state tuition) that have a physical campus. Most colleges offer on-line classes. Do not spend your time on a degree that is not recognized. Good luck to you! (college prof)
