hi world i would just like to inquire on the best online schools to enroll in. My name is Mia. I am joining this forum because there are lots of enjoyable things to learn here and it gives me some ideas later on what field of study to pursue in college

Hi Mia,
I'm not sure about other areas of study, but for teacher education, Walden University has a good reputation. You might want to check into universitites in your state to see what kind of programs they offer. I am in a graduate program that isn't advertised as an online degree, but most of my classes are online. Good luck!:D

Thanks for that advice "upnorthteacher" :)

I completed my master's degree online through Walden University. Walden is a reputable university and I really enjoyed the experience.

I'm also really interested in doing a Masters online. The problem for me is that my degree is Child Development rather than a teaching degree. I am qualified to work with children zero to eight in a variety of settings. I quite like what my degree gets me, but I haven't found a Child Development Master's program online yet.

My point is this: If you want to do an undergraduate degree online followed by a Master's, your best bet would be to choose an Education rather than a Development degree.

Good luck.

You might want to inquire if a college near you offers a field-based program. My Master's was field-based through National-Louis University. It was a small class of six who met at a location convenient to all for one night a week for 22 months.
