I am still here in China, and trying to find a online university for my son, to start taking some classes.
I did a lot with Liberty University, but had so much trouble here with the VPN, because it was a religious based school.
So I am looking for a school that is
1. online
2. most likely not Christian based, so it is not blocked by China firewall
3. of course is Nationally accredited with the US Department of Education, not merely by University claim but actually showing up on their web site.
4. Has reasonable costs, since my Chinese income is not good compared to US. In China, Nate, my son can not work, since you must be basically be 21 and a college grad to get a job teaching, about the only normal job available.
And 5. the hardest, it must accept student age 17. Most online require age 24 unless you are going to be a transfer student.
This year Nate completed his joint high school/ university program, where he finished his Chinese language program, (writing, reading, speaking and listening)
I have found Capella University
Online University Accredited Degree Programs - Capella University
The only thing, I can not find really any negative (bad) internet posts on them.
Even the BBB only had a few complaints in several years and I think all of them were settled to the agreement of the person who complained.
Even Liberty, who I think is one of the best schools, had several pages of complaints if you look enough.
Can anyone find some negative info? Anyone know of bad personal experiences?
And/Or, any information about another school, or ideas.
Nate can of course, since he finished this year at this university, merely attend a University here in China, But after working with my Chinese students, the transfer of credits is tough (they use a different system here) and many classes just don't transfer.
