Washington State University

I am currently a WSU student in my senior year with 2 semesters remaining. Whether you are an in or out of state resident, this is an outstanding university to attend. What is great about it is that, with my personal experience for example, I am an in-state resident yet currently working overseas & this institution is very accommodating. In addition, you have a fairly decent range of courses you could take for the BA in Social Science. I really enjoy the depth of the curriculum. Along with that, the instructors are extremely helpful to their online students which is very much needed when one goes to school full-time, works, and has a family to care for. You definitely know you are getting your money's worth from this non-for-profit entity. I am pretty independent now in my online learning experience (this is my third year taking online courses, with obtaining my AA from a Seattle based community college which was also a fabulous experience), however, when needed, my advisor assists me whenever called upon with a wealth of information and advice. People talk about how expensive it is, but it is comparable to most universities. In addition, Washington state is suffering from budget cuts which have resulted in the increase of tuition fees. Nevertheless, WSU strives to maintain and surpass academic excellence. I highly recommend that anyone considering obtaining a degree online give WSU some serious consideration. There a number of accredited for-profits that may good or even great. But, with WSU you will receive an amazing learning experience, I promise.
