Online IT degree

Does anyone know of any reputable 100% online IT programs, either Associates or Bachelor’s? I’ve googled and tried to do a little research but it’s hard to know what’s reputable and what isn’t.

You could probably get through BRCC's program if you're open to night classes. The coursework is entirely online but there's still classes.

Just study online and get certs for what you want to do. You will literally spend 1000% less money and get just as much return financially. Return on investment for certs will blow a degree away.

WGU has several IT related degrees. Its accredited and not for profit, and with the degrees come several certifications from comptia/cisco/etc. I'd definitely start looking there if online is what you want to do.

Look into Fort Hays State University FHSU . They have a great online program, with very affordable tuition rates.

Georgia Tech's online programs are quite legit and well-respected. From their site:
Ga. Tech has one of the best IT programs in the country, you really can't go wrong here.

The degree you receive will be identical to one earned in an on-campus program. There will not be an "online" designation on diplomas awarded to students who completed their degree program online.

If I were to do it again I'd do WGU
They count some certs for credits. So get your ccna before you take networking etc.
I understand that a degree will open some doors.

I already have entry level help desk job and an A+ certification. I want to eventually move up. And I’d like to have a degree to able to apply to more jobs. I work full time and can’t make seat based classes. Is WGU reputable? How would a potential employer view a degree from there?

If college is an option for you. Do coding.
Helpdesk, Desktop Support, Sysadmin, Netadmin, syseng, neteng..... they're all links on the same chain. Sure each offers more money, but it's all the same problems, but with on-call and tons of after hours stuff.
Do coding/reporting. Clock in whenever you want, clock out. Your weekends/nights are yours forever. The infrastructure support life sucks arse.
