ONLINE SCHOOLS

[hael171972]

Hello everyone!!!

Its been a while since I last posted.

I am into searching which is the best online schools..So far i have narrowed it to 4 choices: University of Phoenix, Western Governors, Walden University and KAplan University.

I want to do Masters..I still dont know which -- Educator or Leadership & Management and I want to gain some knowledge in Informatics..

I am a foreign grad from Philippines, currently working here in Southern CA as a Telemetry Nurse. I dont know the in and outs of inquiring with these schools without any obligation to them..

Anyone who had any experience doing school online?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated!! :=)

I would call and speak to admissions at each school. You might have to take extra steps as a foreign grad with regards to transcript evaluation and school accreditation -- not sure about that. A phone call to them seeking information does not obligate you to anything. :) Good luck!

Hi Faith, I have talked to both Phoenix and Walden Admissions reps, Phoenix is much more expensive and they do a lot of group projects so you get your grade as a group. I had enrolled with Phoenix but they cancelled the class and I became pregnant and didn't re-enroll. Walden is more affordable and it seems very doable. I know nurses that are getting their BSN and MSN through Walden while working 2 jobs and seem to be doing very well. Now that I had the baby I started researching schools again & was inclining towards Western Governors which is the most affordable of all but I read on a post that they do pass/fail for all classes so your GPA is always a 3.0 which I don't like..... You can always talk to an admissions rep without any obligation and find out which school is best for you. I hope this helps...:)
