Accredited online education my key to graduating without debt
I intend to graduate with a co-op MBA entirely debt free. I don’t say this as some spoiled parents-pay-all kid or a massive scholarship recipient. Besides paying for all my education expenses, I go out with friends, donate to charity and love to ski. This is funded by working in the summer and running my small business. I am in the second year of Athabasca University’s Bachelor of Business Management program and my education cost for a year is less than $8,000. Athabasca is a fully accredited university in Canada. I have confirmation from the grad schools I’m interested in that my Athabasca degree will be recognized equally with any other brick-and-mortar degree. My flexible online schedule allows me to run my business, work at interesting jobs and be extensively involved in my community – you can’t tell me that I’m not getting any experience or working on personal, teamwork and leadership skills as I study online.

We promote CollegePlus! as an excellent Distance Learning option for many students. It encourages most people to pursue their undergrad through Thomas Edison College in New Jersey. Yes, it’s an American college, but it is accredited, and your research will show you that increasingly, the institution where a Bachelor’s is earned is less important than the fact that the student has a degree. Most exceptions are in reference to those who are pursuing studies at the elite universities.
