text: There are several online universities that are worth looking into and which one you choose will depend on what you want to major in (just as you would choose a traditional universities). Many companies recognize the degrees from online universities because, as we all know, computers are the wave of the future. I have met many people taking their degree online; most of these people are working on their masters degree so you can believe it is for real. I am in the human services field and have also worked in city entities they all recognize online degrees. There are many non-credible universities out there as well as credible ones so be careful which college you choose but don't delay in your decision to attend college where-ever you go. By the way I am attending University of Phoenix online and loving it. Good luck.
