Best answer:
Answer by Neutron F
There are a couple of universities that provide online instructions in various disciplines.
First and foremost is the Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) that has a huge line of online course offerings. (http://www.aiou.edu.pk/). It is a pioneer of distance learning in Pakistan.
Secondly, there is the recently established Virtual University (http://www.vu.edu.pk/) that also has several diploma and bachelor degree programs. It has a BA in psychology degree, too.
These are the first two universities that come to my mind. They are chartered and well-established. May be some newer ones have started in the past few years but I am not aware of them.

Question by KMart220: Are fully accredited online universities worth it?
Do employers take degrees from accredited online universities seriously? I am thinking of taking my last two years of classes through an online program but I am hesitant. Does anyone have any advise or expertise about the validity of online degrees?

It depends a lot on the employer and what they are looking for. Some employers don’t care, and just want some kind of degree, but if you are up against someone for a job and they have a degree form a recognized university you might have trouble. Don’t let the word accredited fool you. Generally online universities have what is called a national accreditation, but traditional universities all have regional accreditation. If you tried to take your online degree, and say get into a graduate school at a traditional university they won’t accept you.

The online American Public University System (APUS) is working on online PhDs. I’m not sure what field(s) they are going to roll out first. I don’t think there are very many (if any) accredited online PhD programs. When I finished my Master’s at American Military University (part of APUS), I seem to recall the staff talking about having the first accredited online PhD program.
