What are the best online degree programs for the military?

My wife got her degree from Kaplan University (Forensic Accounting). They are a bit pricey, but my wife had an excellent experience. They are awesome with the G.I. Bill ( I gave her mine to get her degree). I have heard bad things about U of Phoenix, but I don't have any actual experience with them. I am a horrible online college student, I tried twice and found that I need a actual brick and mortar college.

I received a degree from the University of Phoenix and my experience was similar to yours - lots of commitment and time, focused energy, but in the end, well worth the experience. The professors were definitely engaged and genuinely concerned that every student learned the material. I would recommend them - plus, they are on the tuition assistance list at all AF bases and I would assume other branches as well.

I'm on my 2nd master's program from Liberty University. (Marketplace Chaplaincy and Human Services Counseling) They have both online and on campus. (Lynchburg, VA) I highly recommend them. They are veteran friendly and extremely knowledgeable about vet benefits. The student advisers call to check in. The teachers have always responded to my emails and some give their personal phone numbers. Also their tuition is fantastic for veterans. Some of the coursework can be challenging and you have to commit to reading - a lot. You can check them out at Liberty.edu.

I'm probably going to separate from the military soon but I am looking to get the college rust off before I head to a brick and mortar school.

Not seeking a degree from an online school, but I do want to take TRANSFERRABLE credits. Does anyone have experience with taking classes to fulfill prerequisites?

I took several online courses from Kansas State to meet pre-reqs for the MA I did at Georgetown. Good program, right at TA, and good profs.

I've also looked at NDU's online programs:

I know of POST UNIVERSITY in CT. They do well with recruiting NCO's

I did TUI that later became Trident International University for my graduate education and was not impressed. I felt they were more interested in dollars than education and the students. One caveat in their defense, my undergrad is nursing which is one of the most intense majors and that is all I had for comparison. I feel as we address this question, which I think is excellent for this site, we need to keep our previous education in mind and what our expectations might be starting an online program.

I am currently trying to finish up my bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Forensics being done through American Intercontinental University. Mostly it is just so that I can say I got a degree in SOMETHING. It is a four year degree compressed into 2 years. That aspect of it is not so bad. The problem I am having is with the teachers. They have no set standards; they pretty much run their classes how they want to. One teacher wants me to do the layout one way while another wants it another. One teacher will be meticulous and will look over every square inch of the paper, pointing out every flaw possible while another teacher will just make sure you turn it in on time and isn't copying someone. Then there are the discussion boards. Since my classes are all online, we do weekly discussion board posts and reply to two others. I am not a creative person so I don't spend my free time reading a person's *&^%$!@#$ speech. "Good job" is good enough for me. But some of these teachers want me to do a full one critique on the discussion board post.

I am currently enrolled in a community college that is in Nebraska, earning another degree in Business Management. So far my experience is positive. It's very challenging but the professors are quick to answer questions. (MCC Neb). Also, their tuition rates are much cheaper, even though I am out of state student, when I compare it to the in state tuition I would have to pay as a resident of Florida for a community college. As already mentioned, "for profit" colleges should be avoided. They are generally more expensive, plus no one takes degrees from them seriously. Additionally there are many lawsuits that the government has filed against them.

I had a great experience with Grantham University. I completed a Bachelors degree with them online. I used the Tuition Assistance (TA) which paid for the entire degree. The books needed for the courses are provided from the school with a military grant. I also had a great experience with the student advisors! They respond to any questions/ concerns that you may have within 24 hours. I received a lot of credit hours from my service in the military towards the degree as well. I've had six or seven of my Soldiers enroll there and would recommend it to anyone. Use the benefits we have while they're still available!!!!
