Drexel University’s Online Psychology Degree Program?

I’m interested in returning to school and finishing my psychology degree through Drexel’s Online Psychology Degree program. Has anyone got any advice, cautionary tales, info, etc., that might not exist at the Drexel website concerning their online school in general and the psych program specifically? Your personal experiences and/or what you’ve heard others say would be great to hear.

Thanks in advance

Personally, I think that online degree programs won’t prepare you properly and aren’t going to look very good on vitas/resumes.This is especially true if you’re considering doing school beyond your bachelor’s, nothing can replace the guidance, intellectual enviornment and one-on-one instruction that grad school offers. If financially you are struggling (thus the choice to do online, I don’t know your reasons for choosing online), loans and grants can be applied for. Grad lectures are not like regular college courses. They’re typically once a week for a couple of hours. So, if you have other commitments, it is easy to fit it in.
Just something to consider.
