Online Degree from a Recognized University?

Featured Replies

I'm looking into completing an online degree to then be able to teach in Thailand. What has been the consensus with online degrees—from recognized universities—to teach in Thailand?

I got an online degree from WGU, a regionally accredited university. I have not gone to Thailand yet. However, I have noticed a few ads from schools that say they don't honor online degrees. I'm not sure how widespread this is. I would also be interested to hear from people in Thailand who have experience with this matter.

As long as the degree is from an accredited school and the Teacher's License (or waiver) can be obtained, you should be in good shape.  

I think if you had a valid license from your own country, that you obtained with the o line degree, that would mean a lot.  University of Phoenix comes to mind....terrible online school, and about 500 USD per credit hour for a 33 hour post baccalaureate...but the 9 credit hours...half a school year of student teaching is done the traditional way.  I also knew a guy going to u of Cincinnati to get administrator certification.  At least that school has a real campus.

It is against the forum rules.   It is trolling and continuing will earn a formal warning and a possible suspension.

I just finished at WGU. $2,890 per 6-month term, take all the classes you can. They're accredited and I'm grateful such a cost-effective way was available. I finished in two terms, working day and night. The only odd thing is they don't post grades. The transcripts explain that credits demonstrate a student performing at at least a "B" level. I know it almost sounds like a paid ad, but I'm just thrilled that the next cheapest option was going to cost $22,000.

Was it a post baccalaureate degree?  What about the student teaching?  What State will you obtain certification?
