I am attending Penn State (Pennsylvania State University). I started there 18 years ago and am finishing up my degree online, although you can do one from beginning to end online. My degree is a BS in Organizational Leadership which is basically the science of how organizations work as a unit. I love it. This semester I am taking senior level classes...one in Compensation and the other is Gender and Occupations. I still can't quite get how you can spend a semester studying Compensation, but so far it is interesting.

I am not currently taking classes, but a few years ago I was working on my Masters in Teaching at Texas Woman's University.
I dropped out with the student teaching still to go when I pulled Joseph out of Kindergarten to homeschool him.

I am finishing my degree online at Marshall University. I am not sure if you could do the whole thing online or not. I am just doing enough credits to basically get awarded a degree from Marshall because I already transferred in all the other graduation requirements and enough credits to graduate.

I'm finishing my degree online with University of Maryland (University College). Taking about 3 classes a semester. It's ok -- I'm glad I have this option to get it done -- I don't think I'd be able to complete it as quickly otherwise, if I had to get to a brick-and-mortar classroom. But it really requires a high level of self discipline and organization, and that element is challenging for me.

They advertised a lot on DC101. :D
I'm thinking I need to check all of these out for grad school. I'm still having no luck finding the last 5 classes I need for zee mathematics degree online.

I'm studying for my bachelors in Social work. I'm currently taking 12 credit hours and this semester they are all online. It's very time consuming and I'd much rather prefer a couple classes on campus.

UMass Amherst when the cards fall into place - I have a snag with my transcript, but I'm hoping to get it all settled in time for spring semester :)

I'm currently at St. Louis Community College and will transfer to UMSL in the Spring. STLCC is getting on my nerves as far as catering to these shoulda-been-high-school-dropouts and I'm pretty much over it. Hoping it's better at the university.
I'm taking most of my classes online but if scheduling permits I prefer to have at least one class on campus. It keeps me in the "student" mindset and also gives me some guaranteed time to study.

St. Mary-of-the-Woods distance education. I am a theology major and paying out of pocket so I can only afford two classes at a time. This semester I am taking philosophical foundations and foundations of Theology.

Webster University. I think there are degree programs you can do completely online, but for my degree I can take 3 of the required classes online.
My one class is increadably time consuming so far. In fact I should be there and not here. ;)

I did part of my AA on campus, but the rest online. Now I am a junior at a large state university (pm me for the name,lol, this is one of the more public boards, wish we were hidden!), doing the rest of my bachelors online.
I am getting a BA in Humanities with concentrations in History, English, and Anthropology. I am currently taking 4 courses, one is a History course, one English, one Anthropology, and one Human Development. It's cool to be out of the basic courses and into the more interesting ones (at least to me,lol).
