Not all degrees are equal. Once you've earned a certificate or degree, your options depend a lot on what kind of accreditation your school was granted. Before beginning classes at any school, check to make sure the school will meet your expectations and help you achieve the goals you have set for yourself. Different people have different motivations for taking classes online. If your goal is simply to learn for your own enjoyment, then choosing a non-accredited institution may be a fine option. However, if your goal is to get a better job or transfer to another school, it is essential that you choose a school that is accredited by the proper associations. Comparing the following options will help you make the choice that is right for you:

不是所有的學位都是合適的。在你取得了學位證明之后，你在工作上的選擇性很大程度上是由你就讀的學校被授予什么樣的認可而決定的。在開始就讀任何學校之前，要確保該校能夠滿足你的期望，能幫助你達到你為自己設立的目標。每個人選擇網(wǎng)校的動機都不相同。如果你只是為了自己的興趣而學的話，那么選擇一個未經(jīng)認可的教育機構(gòu)也許是個不錯的選擇。但是，如果你是為了找一份更好的工作，或者以轉(zhuǎn)校為目的的話，那么你就有必要選擇一家獲得正規(guī)機構(gòu)認可的學校。遵照以下步驟可以幫助你做出適合自己的最佳選擇：

1.If your school is accredited by the proper regional agency, your degree will be accepted pretty much everywhere.

如果你就讀的學校是被正規(guī)的區(qū)域機構(gòu)認可的合格學校，很多地方都會接受你的學位。

1）Employers will accept your degree.

雇主會接受你的學位。

2）Most schools will accept your credits through transfer.

在轉(zhuǎn)校的時候大部分學校會接受你的原有學分。

3）Your degree is equivalent to a degree granted by a traditional college.

你的學位證書會與傳統(tǒng)大學頒發(fā)的學位證書相當。

2. If your school is accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council, your degree will be accepted by some and rejected by others.

如果你就讀的學校經(jīng)過了遠程教育培訓機構(gòu)的認證，你的學位證明會被一部分雇主接受，而另一部分雇主會拒絕你。

1）More employers are beginning to accept online degrees.

越來越多的雇主接受在線學位。

2）Some traditional colleges will accept your credits, others will not. In a 2001 study, two out of three DETC students who tried to transfer credits to another institutions were successful.

一些傳統(tǒng)大學會接受你的學分，而另一些則不會。在2001年，三分之二的學生在不同的教學機構(gòu)之間成功轉(zhuǎn)換學分。

3）You may need to prove the legitimacy of your degree to others. However, this is still a validoption.

你需要向其他人證明你的學位的合法性。這仍然是個正確的選擇。

3. If your school is accredited by a professional organization (such as the American Library Association), your degree will be honored by those in your profession.

如果你就讀的學校是由專業(yè)機構(gòu)認證的，你的學位在你的工作領域就能得到尊重。

1）Employers in your specific field will accept your degree.

在你的專業(yè)領域的雇主會承認你的學位。

2）Some traditional colleges will accept your credits, depending upon both the school you took them through and the professional organization.

一些傳統(tǒng)的學校會接受你的學分，而這是由你選擇的學校和認證的專業(yè)機構(gòu)確定的。

3）Your degree is equivalent to degrees granted by traditional schools accredited through your professional organization.

被專業(yè)機構(gòu)認證的學校提供的證書與傳統(tǒng)學校頒發(fā)的證書相當。

4.If your school is not accredited or is accredited by an agency that is not accepted as legitimate, your degree will be rejected by most employers and schools.

如果你的學校沒有得到認證，或者認證機構(gòu)不是合法的，你的學位證書就會被大部分雇主和學校拒絕。

1）Most employers will not view your degree as valid. You may need to provide evidence to prove that your education is legitimate.

大部分雇主都不會承認你的學位證書的合法性。你要提供能夠證明你接受的教育合法性的證明。

2）Generally speaking, traditional colleges will not accept your credits.

一般來說，傳統(tǒng)學校不會接受你的學分。

3）In most cases, your degree will be considered inferior to degrees granted by traditional institutions.

大部分情況下，你的學位證書將會被視為比不上傳統(tǒng)學校頒發(fā)的證書。
