Programs Astrophysics Degree While in the Navy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding accredited colleges that offer a Bachelor's degree in Astrophysics through distance learning, particularly for someone transferring to sea duty. Participants mention the University of Phoenix as a potential option from past experiences on a naval ship. However, there is skepticism about the availability of a Bachelor's program entirely online. Instead, it is suggested that pursuing an Associate's degree online may be more feasible, as many of these credits can transfer to a Bachelor's program later. The importance of choosing an accredited institution is emphasized, and a resource is recommended for further exploration of distance learning options in this field.

Hello all -

I was wondering if anyone knew of any GOOD colleges that offered all or at least part of a Bachelor's degree in Astrophysics via distance learning. I'll be transferring to a sea duty here, and could just wait to go straight to college, but I'd like to get at least something done.

Thanks all!

FYI, I'll be out of Norfolk, Virginia

I was on the Roosevelt for a year a while back and they had a university onboard. I believe it was U of Pheonix.

I don't think you are going to find a bachleors program online. However, there are many colleges that you can get an AA from, most of which will transfer into a bachleors program.

Just make sure it is an acredited school.
 


Thanks - anyone else know of any online or correspondence/distance learning schools (accredited) that have a Bachelor's or even an associate's degree program in this field?

Thanks
