Online University of Maryland Online Vs U of Phoenix?

ECept Education > Online Degree

Q. I'm looking for an entirely online BS program in MIS or CIS and I'm looking at UoP or UoM. Apparently University of Phoenix has been doing distance education longer and has a much more slick and streamlined program that is likely to go smoothly. U of Maryland is new to distance education and my have a clunky and experimental online education pilot program. Anyone have anything else to add? I will look at other schools, but I won't be interested in any programs like Regents College that require you to take classes elsewhere and merely consolidate the courses into a single degree. I thought of City U, but I would rather get a degree from a fully regionally accredited program from a name that people of heard of . Doesn't Florida State University have a complete online degree program also?

A. I've been enrolled at UofM for four years, since I started my degree, and now only have a few credits to go. They are past the experimental program stage now, and I have found their courses to be quite well designed. They used to have this awful Telnet-with-graphics-type online classroom, but now they have Webpage-based classes (two years ago I think), so the format is easy to navigate. They have a great student services staff and are pretty flexible about transferring credits (cheaper credits!) from other universities. I don't know, actually. But the full name of the online division of U of M is University of Maryland University College, similar to campus designations like U of M College Park, U of M Baltimore, etc, so probably the certificate would have just U of M on it. I didn't know UMass has an online degree program, they only had CyberEd certificates when I took courses there. Anyway, both UMUC and UMass have good, well-organized courses that can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection. They both have semester-based enrollment, though. UMass charges (or used to) a little less per credit hour than UMUC.
