Online College Help for High School Student?

We Answered:

You should definitely consider attending an online college. Although some might say an online degree will be easier to earn, or will not be respected, that is simply not the case.

Your degree will be identical to the degree conferred upon traditional brick-and-mortar students... and as an online student myself, I can assure you, the programs are every bit as rigorous!

Dozens of well-known, respected universities ranked in the Top 100 by U.S. News offer online programs (Penn State, Syracuse, Boston U, University of Illinois, and so on). Even Ivy League universities are catching on... Harvard University offers online classes through their Extension School.

As I'm sure you've already discovered, some of these programs cater to adult learners, but since many of the universities offering online degrees are just regular colleges that also offer online classes, you will find that most allow students of all ages, provided you have your high school diploma or equivalent.

I found a number of colleges fitting your requirements at Accelerated Degree (see source below).

I hope that helps!

Where is good place to get some cheap online college courses that aren't for credit but are still good?

We Answered:

Here's an extensive list of literally thousands of FREE courses offered online (some are even from Ivy League schools). No credit is awarded for these classes, but you can definitely learn for the sake of learning.

Some of the notable sources in the list include Harvard, Yale, and MIT.

I hope that helps!
