There are many accredited colleges that also offer online degrees. What is nice about getting an online degree from one of these colleges is that no one will know you completed your degree online unless you tell them. I have to agree that colleges that are strictly online are not seen as equal to employers or to graduate schools. However, if you complete an online degree from a school that primarily is physically attended, then neither employers nor graduate schools will view your degree any differently.
I am not familiar with California colleges (I am in Massachusetts) but I know that the University of Massachusetts offers completely online degrees and I’m willing to bet that the state universities of California also offer them. Often times general searching for online degrees only turns up colleges that are strictly online. Try going to the college website for the schools in your area and look for online degree options. If not, you can also contact the school directly because their site might be geared towards students who physically attend the school.
Many colleges that offer online degrees only offer them through their Continuing Education program. Try searching or contacting colleges’ continuing education program for online degree information. Another tip is if you have already completed some college but are looking to finish your degree online, see if a college just offers the courses you need to graduate online. Some colleges might not offer complete online degrees but they may have online classes. If the classes they do offer online will complete your degree, you can transfer in with the credits you already have.
