Nellie Said:

Which colleges in New York State have online degrees for teacher certification?

We Answered:

Since you already have a bachelors degree, you can go on for a masters degree, or pursue a bachelors degree or maybe even an associate's. It will depend on how much workload you are willing to take and where you see yourself for example after five years. If you plan to be a teacher at a high profile school, you should obviously opt for a masters. If you think you are too covered up, you can pursue an associate's degree.

Secondly why are you limiting yourself to New York? Location has hardly any value when it comes to online degrees. Even if the college was in canada or afghanistan or on planet mars, you would stll be studying from home.

Whichever college you choose, make sure you do alot of reasearch on it. First check the accreditation of the college. Check out the faculty. how qualified and experienced is it? Also ask the students of that college for their opinion. They could reveal stuff the university may not tell you about.
There are many diploma mills out there. They will lure you into joining them by charging low fees and offering extremely easy course content. Do not join these. You will have wasted your money and time.

Julio Said:

I want to improve myself through online education and certifications in certain areas. Money is a problem.?

We Answered:

I would highly advise against an online school. Some are legitimate. most are not.. Univ. of Pheonix is currently being sued for unlawful practices relating to fees, etc.. I ALSO know they are keeping any excess aid for FUTURE classes..which they are not supposed to do. There is a program thru DHS if u have a disability from being a veteran that they will help pay for tuition and books.. Contact the VA, they have grants for people like u.. GL

Rita Said:

Is it illegal for me to open an online learning business without any teaching or tutoring certification?

We Answered:

it's perfectly legal and i recommend that you do it if you are a capable web designer. you don't need teacher certification to be a tutor, you only need to be an expert in your subject area. i advise against joining a tutoring website. the pay is ridiculously low and you could make 2 or 3 times more as an independent tutor.

Good luck!

Laurie Said:

Have people taken online courses to get a degree or certification? Is online education pretty successful?

We Answered:

These people seem to think online classes are a good idea. If they think it's valid - I'm not going to argue.

Harvard University online courses - http://www.extension.harvard.edu/2007-08…

UC Berkeley online courses - http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/online/

University of Oxford online courses - http://onlinecourses.conted.ox.ac.uk/

Berklee College of Music online courses - http://www.berkleemusic.com/

and there are 1000s more... some of the best colleges in the world are teaching online and I assume that they know more about such things than I do.

Beware though - there are also scammers just waiting to steal your money out there too.
