online degrees?
Asked by amy gI am currently enrolled in an online accounting program to obtain my bachelors degree in accounting. I'm curious as to whether or not a person can attend 2 different schools at the same time. While still attending my school, I wanted to know if I could apply to another to obtain an accounting diploma online. I just thought it might further my career to have as much training as possible, but I didn't know if you could actually do this or not. Any advice would be appreciated.

Most employers consider online degrees to be worthless -- so having two won't help you very much. That being said -- I doubt that you would be turned down if you apply. Most of the online universities are For Profit schools that accept nearly everyone. This is one of the reason their degrees are not taken seriously. Another is their shady practices. The University of Phoenix was recently fined $9.8MM for shady employment practices and is currently under investigation for padding their placement numbers. You would be much better off getting one degree at a real university.
