The time needed to complete a degree varies among online universities and degree programs, but in general, an online degree can be earned much faster. Students at traditional colleges usually take four years to earn their bachelors degree, but online university students can complete the same degree in an average of 2-3 years. This is possible because, unlike students at four-year colleges, most online students typically take only one course at a time.

Theoretically one only has an accredited degree if it was earned after accreditation. For many practical purposes, however, it is unlikely that an employer will say, for instance, "Did you earn your degree from the Graduate School of America before or after November 17, 1997?" Once a school has been accredited, it is likely (but not certain) that all its degrees will be regarded as accredited, whenever earned.

In this scenario, the student earns a degree from a school that is accredited by an unrecognized agency, and later the agency is recognized by the Department of Education. This is such a rare situation, we really don't know if there is a precedent. Common sense suggests that if the school or degree was accredited all along, and if the only change is that the accreditor becomes recognized, then the student would have a degree with recognized accreditation.

The answer to this question varies from student to student. It all depends on how many credits you transfer into your degree program and the pace of study you choose. Our classes are offered in both 8- and 16-week semesters, so you can choose the pace that best meets your needs. For example, a student who successfully completes 2 courses every 8 weeks for a year can earn 36 credit hours in a year, but a student who takes the same courses over 16 weeks will earn 18 credit hours.

It depends on you and how much time you have available to commit to your education each week. Our experience indicates that if you matriculate (enroll) with about 45 credits, you can finish your associate degree (60 semester credits) in less than a year. If you matriculate with about 90 credits, you can finish your bachelor’s degree (120 semester credits) in 1-2 years. Graduations occur every two months. Please see Degree Completion Steps for an overview of the process.
