Any experience with Washington State University's Global Campus?

I agree. Even my sister scoffed at my WVNCC diploma and future TESU degree, saying, "but it's online!"

This is the attitude I came into this whole thing with, and had it not been for this site, where my degree-seeking would have ended.


The problem is optics - people associate 'online' with 'diploma mill'.

Part of that is because historically many online places WERE diploma mills, and partly because traditional colleges couldn't figure out how to make any money off of that channel, they pooh-poohed them too.

Now that the internet is fairly common, it only makes sense that people would want to use it for learning, and so online learning is more acceptable, and more colleges see the dollars they are missing offer online learning.

But to people who don't internet, they are still pretty much stuck in the, "Oh, that means you stroked a check or wrote a BS paper and they gave you a nonaccredited piece of paper" mode of thought.

(honestly, that's kind of what I wanted, too - I've actually had to work!) lol
