I want to know which is better Online, Arranged, or On Campus classes? Please take into consideration the size of the classroom, the supports, and whether one has the technology(to do online/arranged) and whether one can drive/get to on campus?
Also Im getting my A.A.S degree and am not getting financial aid, and am doing arranged classes nearly full time, which brings me to my question I have heard that most Universites dont accept the A.A.S degree... Why?
Also where would you go if you were trying to get a MLS(Master of Library Science) after you got your A.A.S degree from a 2 year college? Please keep in mind that I cant go to college every single day (hence arranged classes) so moving atm is NOT an option?

Another person can't really answer which would be best for you. Also, I don't know about in the states, but in England the services, support, and lesson quality varies from University to University. So a good option at one wouldn't be realistically viable at another.

I don't think we have AAS degrees in the UK. Are they similar to NVQs (National Vocational Qualifcation)? If so, a reason that Universities may not accept them is because of their less academic nature. I know that a lot of Universities and Sixth form colleges in the UK don't look at NVQs, BTECs, National Diploma's and GCSE equivalencies as on par with GCSE's and A Levels.

I wasn't aware of the MLS as a qualification, but wiki has a list of library science schoolshere. Maybe one of them is near enough to you, or if not you could contact them about doing the course via correspondence.

I hope you get it sorted out.
