Distance Learning at College of Southern Nevada ?
Does anyone have experience with the College of Southern Nevada and their distance learning program? I'm interested in pursuing an Associates degree in Sociology but have not found too many reviews on the school. Although, the ones I have found have been mostly good. I am a Nevada resident, and have gauged that the tuition for summer '09 should be about $70ish per credit (after adding in the fees for online charges). Thanks in advance for any opinions! I do live close to UNR, however, I just can't see myself going there. As of right now, when I complete my degree, I plan on transferring to UNLV. They also have online degrees for what I am wanting to major in. The local community college has cut their Sociology program, so that's not an option. Not interested in places like Univ. of Phoenix. That's too much like a business and not a school for higher education. Thanks :D Oops, forgot to add~Bandit...on the UNLV site it states that they do not offer all of the classes to fulfill undergraduate degrees, and suggests taking classes through a community college would be a better option and then transferring for your Bachelors or Masters. Kendrick~Thanks for the link, but there were no reviews for the school.

Answer 1 :
Yes, I currently attend CSN via online learning. I actually enjoy taking classes online. I work full time at a casino and it gives me the flexibility I need. Some professors do require you to take the major exams at one of the campuses but, they give you at least a week to complete them. I would recommend online classes to you if you are very organized and have the ability to work well on you own.
Answer 2 :
My son took a few classes at the Cheyenne Campus while going to UNLV and got full credit. However, if you are taking on-line courses, wouldn't you be better off taking them from UNR or UNLV ? That way you are sure to get a transferable credit. Associates degrees are a start, but most jobs require more education or experience in that field I think. Even if it costs a bit more, I think UNLV might be the better choice. You can transfer credits to CSN without much of a problem. In any event, take the classes. Knowledge is never a negative thing. And good luck.
Answer 3 :
It's way cheaper to take classes through CSN and then transfer them to a college then to take all the classes at a 4 year university. I would check to see what classes you can transfer depending on where you would like to attend later and see how long that transfer policy is good for. Don't waste all that extra money on taking all the prerequisites at a university.
Answer 4 :
The easiest way to find out info is to find a student. You can locate some contact information for Nevada colleges here. http://www.collegereviewed.com/Nevada-Colleges-Universities.html Students always to know what's going on since they get to experience the classes and the lifestyle.
