OnlineDegree.com is not a college or university and we don’t offer degrees. Nor can we grant college credit for taking our courses. We have participating accredited universities who accept our courses for college credit, and our courses have earned a recommendation for credit from outside agencies like the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) whose recommendations are considered by over 1400 accredited colleges and universities in the United States. We can’t guarantee that you will get college or university credit for taking our courses since it's ultimately determined by your university or college and depends on a variety of factors specific to each individual, including but not limited to, which major you choose. We have tried to provide relevant, up to date information about colleges, careers and degree programs. Salary and growth data is based on recently published U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Tuition and demographic data is based on recently published National Center for Education Statistics. Our recommendations and editorial content are our opinions based on our research.
