Just make sure it is an accredited school and it should be fine. Someone more in the know might help, but schools can acheive different accredidations. I believe you want something that is preferably nationally accredited, and regionally accredited. This means it is a real school and not just a degree factory. As long as it is a reutable school you should have no problem.

As far as taking classes online, some programs are great and some suck. I've been involved with both. I've taken ones like Tishabet has where the lecture is recorded and you watch it, and I've taken ones where you have assignments that you work and do on your own time. I think you honestly get out what you put into it. If you got at it half assed you won't find it worth it. The hardest for me was that I was required to take a online masters level statistics class. I am a math moron so working a stats class with no personal instructor interaction was horrible. I'll also suggest that if you are a person that can go to a lecture and lesson to what is presented and then regurgitate that information at exam time online courses are probably not for you. Online courses usually involve alot more individual assignments, readings and research.

Hope that helps.
