Small liberal arts colleges may approach this model, but the combination of distance and narrow disciplinary focus makes this difficult to achieve on many campuses. This is especially true for the multi-campus, statewide systems. In addition, on many campuses distance learning has created another barrier to integrating students into the community. The strong sense of presence in a virtual world like Second Life® makes distance irrelevant and offers the possibility of creating a community of scholars, even among those who are far apart. This panel discussion will involve representatives from three large systems, who will describe how their experiences in Second Life® have allowed them to overcome distance to create a community.” …from wiki.vwbpe.org

I have 107 credits from community college and I have took pretty basic classes that should transfer. I am looking for a college that will accept all of these credits (or most) and is fairly low costing. Mainly, I care that they take the credits and will allow me to complete my degree quickly.

I want to teach American literature at the community college level. Is it possible to get a masters degree online and it actually be useful? Or do I have to go through a university?

How many are universities? 4yr colleges? community colleges? private? public?

I am almost finished with my Bachelors degree in History. I would like to continue on and get my masters in History. I am interested in American Public University’s (APU) History program. But can I get a legitimate masters degree from a fully online institution, that when Im finished I would be able to get a job teaching at a community college? APU is fully accredited but Im leary because the only information about them I can find is on their website. It seems like nobody has heard of them. Any help would be appreciated!

online education means i would take classes one at a time, each for 5 weeks, no summer breaks, but more free time during the day. I hope someone who has taken college courses online can inform me.
community colleges most people know about. Please consider all pro’s and con’s. This is a very big decision for me.

The online degree is accredit by the WASC. I also have an undergraduate degree from a highly regarded institution. My work experience is relevant and somewhat impressive.
