Distance Learning Civil Engineering

Lloyd Said:

“Please give me information about distance learning’s CREDIBILITY, BELIEVES AND APPROVEL OF A DESTANCE LERNING

We Answered:

Make sure that any online university you consider is regionally accredited (basically means approved by the United States Department of Education). I know that you're working in Saudi, but if you're going to be paying for an American degree, you might as well get it from one that's regionally accredited. See the first link below for more information.

Here are some links:
Wikipedia - Online Degrees

AIU is not accredited in the US. However, if you think that this is not an issue for you, then you're fine. Read here for more information:
http://www.aiu.edu/Accreditation.html

Regarding AIU - read both pages:

This site, http://www.geteducated.com is an excellent site if you want to look for accredited online degrees. This is a list of accredited online undergraduate degrees:

You can take the above list and see if any of those schools are listed here: For example, Baker College Online (third school in the above link), is listed at the top here in this link. If you want more info on it, just google "Baker College".

Do you know anyone in Saudi who got a job (without connections/wasta) with an AIU degree? It would be best if you can find other AIU graduates there to ask them questions about their AIU experience and how their degrees were received by employers in Saudi.

I think Monty is correct. Why not get a degree from an Indian university that is recognized by the Indian government? Lots of people are working fine in Saudi with degrees from India. Or consider one of the accredited colleges in the list above. Either one is probably a safer choice for you than AIU.

Hope this helped. Good luck.

I am 25 unmarried do i study more or work?

We Answered:

Studying is a great things , but u have to think also about other things in life your 25 and u need to work so that at the age of 40 your able to take care of your self n your kids. But when you continue just studying that means u will have to work more years in future.

I think its better also u look at other options am sure the Job u had was well paying , but i know also u can get a new Job whenever .

But use the chances you have remember there so many guys also studied the same thing like u n there many more freshers coming up , but its your decision to make .

But i Suggest u think about working be4 its to late

Hi Subhadip,
You can try for MBA (IGNOU), for which you need to take an entrance (you can write entrance around Feb). For details visist http://ignou.ac.in. You can do a specialisation in production, marketing, finance and hr...
I had recently seen another notification from SYMBIOSIS Pune. For it also search in google and still there is time for you to apply in SYMBIOSIS (DDE)

Also you can do MBA from Pondicherry central university for which there is a recent notification. Directorate of Distance Education is the corresponding cell.
Search for the above and I think this info is enough.

Old Dominion University distance learning?

We Answered:

ODU is a reputable state school in Norfolk, VA. It's not the best university, but it's fine. I know several people who graduated with civil engineering degrees from there who do well now. I don't know about their distance learning program, but as long as the program is accredited, I'm sure it's fine. ODU is ABET accredited.

My only concern is about getting a technology degree instead of a straight civil engineering degree. You won't be able to get licensed (as a PE) for several more years with a technology degree, which will hold you back in structural engineering. Look up the experience requirements before you decide.
Good luck!
