maegen, you can't go wrong with Penn State WC. I've read and heard many favorable comments concerning its programs, faculty, and content delivery. If accepted, please keep us advised about your experiences.

Online classes rock. The only problem is when you underestimate them... I had a problem graduating (spent too much time away from my college) and ended up having to take an online class one summer... I figured, hey, it's online, I will definitely get an easy A. Turned out to be one of the toughest classes I ever took :-/

Wow! The hostility over on-line classes, Listen people, everyone is different and likes to do things differently as well. You should not say it is horrible and it sucks, perhaps it sucked for you. I tried the traditional college and while it was wonderful, on-line classes benefited my a great deal; it allows me to spend more time with my son. In addition, I do not have to travel 45 min. out of the way to attend school. There are some positive and negative things doing it on-line. This is where a person has to decide what is best for them. As for the individual that says there is no interaction that is false. You have a choice just like everything in this world, you can sit in front of the computer like a hermit and say, "there is no interaction" and do nothing or you can make that happen. I have met wonderful people who were my classmates that live 10 minutes away from me. We have remained friends and we have study groups together. So you see anything is possible if you truly want to engage. A student has to be dedicated and set a schedule to read and complete the work that is required and if they decide to cheat, they will feel the ramifications in the long run. Cheating occurs in a traditional campus as well; traditional colleges are no saints (lol), not to mention the drugs, drinking, and the partying that goes on there. From an individual who attends an on-line college it works for me, anything I can do that will allows me more time at home with my son I am doing.

All the best
