I m worried about college - Can someone explain all of this to me?

Asked by furtherinvestperson (24points) February 3rd, 2017

I am currently in 11th grade, on an online high school program. I realize next year will be my last year in high school, so I need to prepare. My GPA is 4.0–3.5, I get good grades and take school seriously, however… I am very worried and have stomach aches over college. I live in LA (suburb of it) and want to take my courses online for college. I, however, am having trouble finding colleges that offer bachelor s degrees in online courses. I did find colleges in my area that offer online college program courses but do not state whether or not it is a bachelor s degrees. My parents have suggested University of Pheonix… but I am scared that employers will be less likely to make my resume seriously – even though I realize that employers tend to care more about the fact that you just have a college education and your experience). I plan on going into criminal justice and want to take law as my major. So, I have questions:

a) Is it possible to take online college courses that offer bachelor s degrees (online)? If so, can you suggest some?

b) Do employers care where you went to college, or do they care more about you just having a college degree/experience? Will taking University of Pheonix s online courses and getting a bachelor s degree through there affect my chance at a good job?

c) Does anyone have any advice?

Thank you all so much in advance.
