AI Thread Summary
When considering online education, it's important to choose accredited universities that offer respected degrees. The Open University in the UK is recommended, along with the University of Phoenix, known for its business programs. Many accredited institutions provide degrees equivalent to traditional classroom settings, but online learning requires greater self-discipline and lacks face-to-face interaction. Ivy League schools are also suggested for their strong reputations, though they come with high costs. Ultimately, selecting a program should align with personal interests and career goals.

Thanks

Once you decided on what area you are interested in, you'll probably find that there are quite a few fully accredited universities that offer degrees via online format (i.e. distance education). Most, if not all of them, will be the exact same degree you get by sitting in a classroom.

Caveat: they require more self-discipline and are generally harder since you don't have a face to face and student to student interaction.

If you're looking for schools with solid reputations, try Ivy-League, even though the cost is astronomical. Besides that, I do know that the University of Phoenix is a well known online school that companies respect, but they mainly deal with Business.
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll post again if/when I decide what I want to take.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
