Hi, I currently have a full time job doing computer work (not IT) and work part time as a ride share driver.
I have been balancing multiple activities and errands back and forth outside of that too.

Looks like Maryville University is an accredited university and offers a lot of online courses.

Do you consider this true as well?

I'm looking for options to earn a Financial certificate or a BS degree in Finance online, and/or I would also like to enroll in an education supervisor program. The programs near me that are accredited for this are kind of near me are Eastern, Villanova, Temple, and Immaculata.


I work 9-6 PM during the week generally. It is very difficult to flex in the current situation I'm in.
Taking an online course would be best for me

Are there other schools that are online I should consider to increase my versatility for academic credentials?
I know there are ones like Strayer and I think Kaplan, but I've heard that those are either unaccredited or have trouble with accreditation. I don't want to end up being a situation like ITT Technical Institute.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Pick a regionally accredited brick and mortar school that has an on-line component. You can't keep adding things to your day without other things suffering, so you may have to quit or reduce other activities. What is a certificate in Finance going to do for you?

Leave options for me in case my current job doesn't work out, or maybe be considered for work that involves clients that work with financial data potentially.

I don't know if I'd be better off going for a Finance certificate from Cornell or taking a BS in Finance at Maryville straight off. I know that I have an interest in Finance, but I also have an interest in education adminstration and keeping my teaching certificates intact even though they are not used.

I have almost 5 years to meet my education requirements currently (180 credit hours per 5 years, and one 3 credit semester course is the equivalent of about 30 credit hours).

I can only do one at a time.

Any other thoughts?
