Hello all

I work full-time and have a 9 year old son, so I really can't find the time to go on campus. I started searching for accredited online colleges and came across Penn Foster. I am not 100% sure about this college. I am wondering if I should obtain an associates degree in business from them. I have not been able to find any reviews on them and neither do I know anyone who completed their program or even graduate. Is there anyone here who can help me out with this? I did check other online colleges and they are indeed very costly. Penn Foster I find to be quite reasonable. But I need to gather as much information as possible before I can consider registering. Also if there are any cost-friendly online colleges that you have in mind, please feel free to pass on the info. I will look into it. Right now, I need a change of career, I need job security and a brighter future and I really need to start college as soon as I can. Please advice me.

Thanks a lot

I am sure that you can find some kind of review or opinion regarding Penn Foster somewhere on the web. I just found a few myself.

If you are looking for an associates degree, have you looked into a community college? Most CC's offer an A.A. in business and often times courses can be taken in the evenings, weekends and/or online.

I did the Penn Foster High School Diploma program in 9 months. I was very happy with the program and I am looking into the Medical Transcriptionists Certificate program they have. I would only do the Penn Foster programs simply because they work with you, you do them in your own time, and they are easy to understand.
