Do you feel the education you are getting online is just as good as the campus setting?

It is funny. To get accepted into the EFO program at the NFA you needed a four year degree fom an accepted university. The guest speaker at Columbia Southern University's graduation last year was Dr Oneal from the NFA. They would not accepted Columbia Southern as a offical school to enter the program. That rule has since changed.
So to answer the question if i feel if my degree from columbia southern is the same as another, I do. I have spent five years earning my degree taking one class at a time due to finances. I will have my degree after three more classes and I feel it is just important as someone who went to USC.
I have been to the university and been on many college campuses and I feel that doing it on-line has benefited me alot more.
I have gotten three coworkers to attend Columbia Southern and one has since graduated. Columbia Southern is a good call fo anyone who wants to make themselves better with education.

I'm five weeks into my bachelor degree in fire science. It's been a couple of years since i attended any type of college but I think an online degree is just as good as being on campus. I've had a little trouble getting adjusted to to black board and getting back into the swing of things but over all its been a good experience.
