I noticed that NYU has an online management and systems. But, I’m looking for something along the lines of marketing, graphic design, and communications.
I have career experience (2-3 years), and my GPA my undergraduate program was weak.
What REPUTABLE online degree programs are there out there for me?
Personally, I am NOT looking for the classic online schools like Strayer, etc. I’m looking for programs that people wouldn’t associate with “online school” when I mention it.
Do I have any options?
I’m NOT looking for “online degree screening” Web sites. I have tried those.
I really am seeking specific examples of programs at schools.
E.g. “Masters in Managment and Systems at New York University…” .. or the “State University of X has an online Masters of Communications and has alternative admissions criteria.”
As I said, I have ALREADY SEARCHED.
I’m looking for SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF PROGRAMS– and experiences others have had with those schools.
