Online Anthropology Degree

[NicholasNY]

Hello,

 

I am just stating my education in Archaeology/Anthropology, and am currently attending a local Archaeology field school where I will earn an advanced certificate in Archaeology. I will also be taking a 6 week field school this summer at The University at Albany in Archaeology. I am looking for a credible online degree in Anthropology and am constantly being drawn to Colorado State University Online Plus Program (Bachelors Degree). This program is new, and may only be two years or so old. I am looking for some opinions on wheather or not it is a good decision to join, and if there are any other online degrees that are affordable and look nice on the resume. If there is another forum on this topic please excuse me, and just a paste a link.

Would this be your first B.A. or do you want to get an additional one in Anthropology?

[NicholasNY]

This is my first B.A. I wastold they have the highest rating possible when it comes to transferring credits. I also have an A.S. in Building Technology and a Certificate in Computer Aided Drafting and Design also.

Oregon State University has an online B.A./B.S. in Anthropology. I'd stay with public Universities rather than private or for-profits.

You mentioned 'transferring credits' - does this mean you would want to start your BA in an online setting and then do the rest in-residence at a university? I don't know too much about your situation, but you might want to also consider starting your degree at a 2-year college near you and then transfer those credits to finish your BA at a 4-year college or university. I know several people who've done that with anthropology BA degrees.

 

Just wanted to throw another option out there!
