So I'm looking to pursue a bachelors degree in mass communications. Due to my career my schedule is quite unpredictable and I don't always have internet access. I'm looking for a school with a self paced distant learning program (CD-ROMs or Email correspondance)

Obviously location has no impact, I'm not to concerned about the price although I would like to keep in relatively inexpensive (as far as colleges are concerned). I've currently got roughly 36 credits in gen ed as well as some electrical engineering courses.

Any help would be appreciated.

I lawl'd at the irony...

Utah State University (http://distance.usu.edu/) FTMFW! I don't go there anymore, but I got my AS from them completely online and through telecourses. Most of them require internet access though, but you don't have to do a whole lot of work and if you make good decisions about the time you can spend online, you can get 3 or 4 classes done per semester (if you only have like an hour or 2 per week). Very cheap since it's a state college and everything, but it would definitely be more expensive for you (seeing as you're out-of-state). Otherwise, Brigham Young University (http://ce.byu.edu/is/site/) (a large Mormon University in my home state) also has many college-level courses available, with a wider choice of non-online courses. I haven't tried their college courses, but I did do some of their HS classes to graduate early. Very, very, very easy; I finished a class in a week with only 2 hours a day. However, again, this was their HS program, rather than a college level class, which I have not and don't intend to take, so be aware. I think the best thing to do in your case would be to find all the colleges in your state and see how many of them offer the courses that you're looking for. Personally I prefer taking CLEP tests to taking an actual class. Less time wasted, same amount of credits (and you can complete the whole test without having to go online even once). Look that up too, it can be quite valuable.

P.S. It's called distance education

I study via distance education. It's okay if you have self discipline, you have to coordinate everything you do yourself.

That being said...you said you have limited internet access but you're expecting emails? How's that supposed to work? My university has a web portal where us external students can chat to one another, download our modules, check out lecturer announcements, do tutorials, look at weblinks and be involved in discussions.

Another aspect is you said it doesn't matter where it is at. This may or may not be the case. The university I attend is approximately 4 hours drive time away from my home and we have compulsory residential schools where we must attend class (for me about once a semester per unit).

Do some exploring on the net. And stay out of 'Together we serve' that shit will warp your mind!

Good luck, I know that there are a wide variety of options.

Simply, be sure to check that the course is accredited. You don't need to spend the time and find out that the degree is bogus.
