I've been trying to keep abreast of what's happening with online options for more technical degrees. I thought you all might be interested in the latest. Here's a few offerings that are almost ready to go or just being launched:
Stonybrook University: Bachelor of Electrical Engineering Online
Applicants are being accepted for this degree, which only offers upper-level electrical engineering courses. In my opinion, it was brilliant of Stonybrook to only focus on developing upper-level courses, which reduced the time needed to develop this degree program considerably. Stonybrook is working with ABET to insure that this degree will be accredited upon the matriculation of it's first class.
This means that Stonybrook will be the only school other than the University of North Dakota to offer an ABET accredited online engineering degree (there are other schools that offer engineering
technology degrees accredited by ABET, but in most states this won't allow you to become a licensed engineer).
Athabasca University: Bachelor of Science in Architecture
There are tons of options for online Master's in Architecture, but this will be the first online Bachelor of architecture degree ever. Athabasca is a Canadian university that is (oddly enough) regionally accredited in the U.S. This degree is in it's final planning stage, and the Canadian accreditor of architectural degrees (CACB) will be accrediting this degree. The CACB is recognized by the American accreditor of architectural degrees (NAAB).
Hope someone finds this interesting

Thanks for the info. I wonder how demanding the course of study for these degree will be. I had a hard enough time with Architecture inseat. I almost married my instructor at one point......JK. :roflol:

I've looked at the course descriptions for Stonybrook's degree and it looks pretty tough. For some reason, it seems that ABET has a higher standard for online degrees than in seat. Idk about the architecture degree, but judging from your experience it probably isn't for the faint of heart

Thanks for the information as I am in pursuit of my Civil Engineering degree at this time. The Electrical Engineering Degree looks quite interesting, in my research and working for a Engineering company in the Tri-State area, Mathematics is normally heavy dependent upon your specialty in Engineering.
The Stony Brook program looks great, this is a good opportunity that want to obtain an Engineering Degree have a form of doing it know.
Thanks for the great information, I am going to pass this information which I know will get alot of great feed back. Awesome Thank you.

No problem, I was really looking for myself (I've toyed with the idea of getting an EE degree, and may still do it after this BSBA I'm working on). I know how hard it is to find online options for technical degrees, and I figured somebody out there would be looking to

I really appreciate this thread as I am interested in both online Architecture and Engineering schools. However, I am having trouble finding any information regarding Athabasca's Bachelor of Science in Architecture. You had said that it was in it's final planning stages, but surely there would be some mention of the BS degree on their website, rather than only having information about their post baccalaureate? Have you any idea when this degree will be available?
Thanks
