Reply:The key is to make sure the college/university is accredited. I have three basic recommendations for everyone looking into online/distance education. They all have to do with exploring; after all, you have to defend your assets.





1. Make certain that you have triple checked their accreditation. First, they tell you what it is, then you go to that accrediting body’s website (not through the link provided by the school), and thirdly you would visit the department of education to see what they have to say. Do your diligent research into the institutions once you have narrowed down to a couple. You can look at the Better Business Bureau for more information on the college.





2. You must have extreme self motivation and be able to teach yourself per say. This means that you will not have someone telling you verbally, so it is up to you to get the information from the course room, text, and other resources. The best way to look at it is like a guided independent study course.





3. Review your goals, personal and professional. Make sure that the school that you are going to offers the programs that match your goals. Do not settle. There are many programs that are similar, but you have to make the ultimate decision. Do not let be based on finances and length of program, but the fact that when you are finished or near finished you will be able to assume your proper place in the career field sought.





There are many traditional universities offering degrees that can be earned through online methods. Look at that if you are truly concerned with the name of the school. Good luck on your search!
Reply:Most colleges have online classes and even full degrees. However, make sure that college also has a real location and not just online.
Reply:I don't know what state (or even country) you're in, but make sure you take classes from a regionally accredited college (in California, that would be Western Assoc of Schools and Colleges). If you're a Californian, you can take online courses from community colleges for very low cost (about $20 a unit). You would go to the California Virtual Campus at www.cvc.edu and choose courses from the California community college system. In other states, check for community college online courses in that state. You'll get a good education for the first two years.
Reply:UMass (University of Massachusetts) teaches both journalism and psychology online and offers degrees wholly online too. http://www.umassonline.net/Home.html





Harvard University (Extension) is teaching courses in journalism and psychology online too - and they're a bit less expensive than UMass (and most other 4-year colleges that I've attended). http://www.extension.harvard.edu/2007-08...





UC Berkeley offers some courses in each online and also offers a certificate program in editing online. http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/online/





UCLA offers a writer's program online. It's not journalism but is very well respected if you want to study either creative or screen writing. http://www.uclaextension.edu/





This is just four that I know of that are very "legit" and highly respected. I suspect that everyone you know would agree that these are "legit" colleges and valid programs. You don't get much more "legit" than Harvard or Berkeley.





There are many others since both of your interests are very popular. I use the search tools at Peterson's Guides to find interesting programs. http://www.petersons.com/distancelearnin...





Fact is, 85% of all US institutions of higher learning are teaching online these days (source ABCNews) and that probably includes both the community college and state university where you live.
