Going back to school!

[Liam2021 583]

The only thing matter is that school accredited or not.Online or not online is not a problem.

I go to school online.  I go to Florida International University which is a traditional university which offers a few programs online. When I get my degree no one will be able to tell I took my classes online.  It is a quality education and I got my job based on the fact that I am in this program.   I have a full scholarship so this costs me nothing.  So that is not necessarily true that getting a degree online will be looked down on by employers.  If you go to a traditional university which offers some programs online your future employers will have no idea you studied online.

I would like to go to school as well. Criminal Justice (homeland security to be specific). Do you guys think this is possible as an immigrant? Or should i wait until I am a citizen?

Of course it's possible although your primary degree could also be business with a concentration in Homeland Security, that's the path I took

Roel the poster who said online is looked down upon may want to get caught up to current events, I can give you 10 to 15 major state and top universities that I know of without doing a search that have regional accreditation and just added online regional accredited degrees ....that’s the key. I work for the largest employer in the United States and one of the biggest companies in the world and my company encourages study at atleast five of these University’s I know of but all are accepted I’ll share with you. 

 

Online is is the future, taking out some not all unnecessarily elective classes is the future, competency based for working adults is the future. PM me and I’ll tell you who I work for, everyone knows who they are. The big name schools that  Ill show you can’t be wrong, my company can’t be wrong now or it’s peer companies whom also hire from these schools be wrong, I show facts not opinion 

 

Anyway good luck I applaud your desire.

I've looked at Homeland Security also. Of course you can take classes! Although jobs in this field usually require US citizenship. 

 

I didn't expect sooo many helpful advice. So grateful to everyone!

Well, look at all your helpful posts over time -- you're reaping what you've sown.  People are responding similarly.

A thread like this will be of lasting value to many others who are contemplating the same.
