2021 Best Online Colleges (based on ROI)

I heard back from NAU. The program is completely self-paced, you turn in assignments (assuming this means that it truly is non-proctored), professors in each class will check in on your progress and you will also be assigned an advisor that checks in on you. You're provided with all the materials you need for each class.

I'm so close to pulling the trigger on this university. I might make a separate thread so more people see it and can maybe give more insight as there is not a lot of info out there about NAU. But this seems really promising.

Excellent news! I gave NAU a really hard look but opted to go the project management route instead of IT. I don't think this program gets enough recognition. I wonder if it's because they only have a handful of degrees.

I think that there's another thread somewhere here with someone who decided to do NAU but I can't remember who it was or what the degree was. It definitely sounds like a good option if they have a degree that you want.

I can't remember where I was reading (it might have been here or the other forum for distance learning) but I swear someone said that the entire degree was non-proctored and everything is written assignments/finals. That's what got me researching about them because due to my disabilities and learning impairments I can't do webcam proctoring, so it's been very hard to find a degree program that fits my needs to say the least.

If you're looking for a bachelor's degree, give UMPI a look. There aren't any IT degrees except for a business or liberal arts degree in project management or management information systems which is a minor. But all of their degrees are CBE meaning the course is graded on a final paper, project, or exam. None of my exams have had a proctor. If you have any questions about UMPI, feel free to PM me. They're adding a master's in organizational leadership in January as well which also be CBE.
