About 'new england college accreditation'|How to Choose an Online College








               After               a               few               years               of               community               college,               I               had               gained               enough               credits               to               transfer               to               a               university.

Since               my               GPA,               after               15               courses               was               at               3.78,               I               knew               that               I               could               very               well               have               applied               to               some               competitive               institutions               around               the               United               States.

However,               due               to               the               fact               that               I               have               a               mini-farm               that               I               would               have               had               to               travel               with,               and               the               downturn               of               the               economy,               complicated               by               the               ever-rising               prices               in               gas,               I               decided               that               the               most               logical               and               economical               choice               was               to               apply               at               a               university               that               offered               online               degrees.
               One               of               the               foremost               things               to               research               when               choosing               an               online               college               or               university               is               to               check               their               credentialing               status               -               this               is               not               only               an               indicator               of               the               validity               of               the               rigor               of               their               programs,               but               is               essential               that               they               be               credentialed               by               one               of               the               four               main               regional               accrediting               bodies               in               the               United               States               in               order               for               any               institution               -               "brick-and-mortar"               or               online               -               to               be               eligible               to               receive               federal               financial               aid               for               tuition               payment.

The               six               regional               accrediting               bodies               in               the               United               States               are:
               Middle               States               Association               of               Colleges               and               Schools               New               England               Association               of               Schools               and               Colleges               Northwest               Commission               on               Colleges               and               Universities               North               Central               Association               of               Colleges               and               Schools               Southern               Association               of               Colleges               and               Schools               Western               Association               on               Schools               and               Colleges               It               is               very               important               that               you               check               the               credentialing               status               of               any               school               before               applying.

Not               only               must               a               school               be               credentialed               by               one               of               these               six               regional               credentialing               agencies               in               order               to               retain               eligibility               in               receiving               financial               aid,               but               it               is               a               qualification               for               being               admitted               into               any               other               subsequent               universities               for               other               coursework               or               graduate               study.

In               addition,               many               employers               state               in               job               descriptions               that               any               degrees               obtained               must               have               been               conferred               by               a               regionally               credentialed               institution               only.
               After               researching               a               few               institutions,               I               chose               to               apply               to               Troy               University               (formerly               Troy               State               University)               for               several               reasons.

First,               since               they               were               the               state               university               of               Alabama,               I               knew               that               there               was               a               minimum               standard               in               the               quality               of               education               I               would               receive.

Second,               they               offered               several               different               concentrations               and               minors               for               my               chosen               major               of               Political               Science.

Last,               they               do               not               charge               out-of-state               tuition               like               some               other               institutions               (I               live               in               California).

Troy               also               has               their               own               sports               teams               that               you               can               actually               watch               and               track               on               ESPN               -               in               this               way,               you               have               more               of               a               connection               to               the               institution.

Their               teams               are               known               as               the               Troy               Trojans               and               their               mascot               is               called               "T-ROY".
               Attending               Troy               online               was               not               easy               -               all               the               online               courses               at               Troy               progress               on               8               week               terms,               within               5               terms               a               year.

The               workload               is               so               grueling               in               an               8               week               term               that               two               classes               are               considered               full               time.

On               top               of               the               reading               and               assignments,               there               are               also               conversation               forums,               which               take               place               of               the               absence               of               face-to-face               contact               with               other               students               and               teachers               -               these               forums               also               must               be               completed               in               order               for               students               to               be               eligible               to               receive               federal               financial               aid.

Though               the               schedule               is               hard               to               keep               up               with               and               the               work               sometimes               challenging,               it               is               a               great               way               to               learn               discipline               and               time               management.

The               only               real               drawback               to               Troy               is               that               the               list               of               degrees               they               offer               is               limited;               as               a               result,               when               I               wanted               to               change               my               major               to               Environmental               Science,               I               had               to               transfer               to               another               institution,               American               Public               University,               who               offered               such               a               program.

However,               Troy               University               is               a               good               school               that               provides               a               quality               education               and               I               credit               the               school               with               helping               me               to               develop               more               in-depth               critical               thinking               skills.
               There               are               many               good               online               schools,               as               well               as               many               brick-and-mortar               institutions               that               also               provide               online               education;               however,               intensive               research               is               the               key               in               obtaining               the               knowledge               of               picking               the               best               university               or               college               that               is               right               for               you.

There               are               other               factors               to               consider               besides               accreditation,               selection               of               majors,               and               quality               of               education               -               cost               is               another               important               issue               to               consider.

Many               only               online               schools               require               SAT               or               GRE               scores               in               order               to               be               considered               for               admittance               into               their               programs.

Since               my               GPA               was               very               high,               Troy               accepted               that               in               lieu               of               test               scores;               however,               the               school               is               slightly               competitive               and               normally               requires               SAT               scores.

However,               every               institution               has               their               own               set               of               requirements               for               admission,               so               the               best               thing               to               do               is               research               as               many               schools               as               possible               in               order               to               find               one               that               best               suits               your               needs               and               your               abilities.
