Are online classes real?

In one word yes! Online classes are real BUT...

Many online colleges ARE NOT real. Some in my opinion and the opinion of REAL accreditation groups are degree mills (give you a piece of paper that won't transfer or get you a job BUT they get all your money). I'm not making any alligations BUT I do personally know people who have attended

Westwood College
Everest University
Ashworth College
ITT Tech
and yes even the beloved University of Pheonix

Just to be left in debt holding the realization that National Accreditation ISN'T good as it sounds. REGIONAL accreditation TRUMPS all that. I think I'll start a short series on this covering...

Why take online classes?
How to find real online colleges?
Advantages and Disadvantages of online classes.
Signs of Non accredited online colleges.

From there you can make the call...

Personally I know my college is accredited for on campus and online classes. I've actually been to the campus and known many people to tranfer smoothly with their credits in hand. I'm not paying out of pocket nor am I teaching myself because the professor is just passing everyone along. I hope this series will help someone.
