I’m very skeptical about online degrees and stuff like that. But the concept is so appealing for me as I have no possibility to attend one in person. Are online degrees credited in the real world? Thanks in advance!

There are so many colleges out there that offer degrees online. How can you find out if one has a valid accreditation? No one wants a degree that won’t be recognized in the real world! Is there a national database somewhere that can be used to check out a school?
