i took both online and cd rom courses, i went full time before they could get federal aid. It is very doable but i do recommend cd rom courses if you have self discipline, two test and two papers over 15 weeks. with the online courses there are a little more work, you have the two papers and two test along with discussion questions (these killed my grades.) online courses the deadlines are less flexible as where online courses you can turn everything in the last or first week.
