[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did it.  I wa sin the same boat as he is, I took clases both in person and online and my work paid for some of it.

The hardest part was realizing how easy it was and not doing it sooner.  Sure it takes time but it wasn;t that bad.

Most schols now offer online classes, the poepel who are bashing that have no idea and are of an old thoguht process.  People do nto care how you got it they jsut want to see you are committed to doing it.

There are plenty of local places like Hopkins, GMU, GW, Georgetown, MD, UVA, Marymount that offer most of it onlilne.  [/quote]

They offer it online because it's cheaper to offer (no facilities) and they make good money at it. For many disciplines, it won't replace the value of class discussion and one-on-one contact with classmates. Half of what I learned in my MBA program came from other classmates, not from books or the professor. I went to a top-5 MBA program, and they don't even offer online.

Now at mid-range, I think online can be fine, especially if the goal is to just get a diploma and the quality of the educational experience isn't as much of a concern. Likewise, if you just need to get through a few core courses before getting to the "real" stuff, then online can be OK for those.

If I was in your DH's situation, I'd do it through night/weekend classes. It'll be a good educational experience being there, and you'll get your money's worth too.[/quote]
