Does this sound like a good plan?
I will be going to community college for the next two years for business administration. My community college also has a night school for adult learners where you can earn a Bachelor's degree. The baccaulaureate program can consist of online and night courses.
I have been told by my advisor that I can attend the community college for three semesters and then begin attending the baccaulaureate program for one semester.
Then I could go into the Air National Guard and take online classes with the same school.
I have been told that if I would join the reserves, I would have more time to complete my degree
My question is, would the integrity of my college degree be coompromised because many of the courses would have been taken online?
I am not the best student so that's why i am considering all of this

People will not treat a degree from this school the same way they will treat a degree from a more prestigious school.
However, it is certainly a better plan than not getting a degree, or getting a degree at one of these For Profit online schools.
If you want to stay in the Air Force, it will allow you to become an officer — and if you don’t, the Air Force experience will also help you.
Bottom line — going to a better school would help you more, but for you it may be a good plan. It is certainly better than some.
I wish you luck.
dont go to community college. go real.
it sounds wonderful. So yes I think it is a good plan yes.
Well the credits you would get from it wont be faulted at all and really its how you study if you are slack butt about it then yes. For you to be able to take the courses on line means that you have to be willing to sit and study on your own with out lectures or help from teachers really.
If the class is offered online instead of in class, its exactly the same, and translates exactly the same. So the degree is exactly the same weather you got it in class or online as long as you took the classes made the grades and learned the material.
Internet courses are extremely difficult if you aren’t very disciplined. I have taken a couple because I couldn’t fit certain classes in my schedule and it was rough. And I only took one at a time. If you have an active social life, night classes can be a pain too. The integrity of your degree shouldn’t be a problem but your GPA could be at risk if you are ready to commit. It’s so much harder when you don’t have to see your teacher three times a week, and sometimes, you will never see them.
I’m not sure if the integrity would be compromised but just by having the degree would be of help in your endeavor. Sometimes you have to know someone to get a foot in the door, or start out by taking on another job assignment as the stepping stone.
