The main question to ask oneself when looking at going the "online" route is this... how do you learn? Are you able to pick stuff up from reading it and doing work, or do you find the q&a sessions and lectures from the instructor really help you pick it up. Can you read nuances, or do you need to see them in real-life to understand? I myself normally find it easier to learn in the lecture format with the instructor, but took some classes online. The way I made it through these passing was by study groups, where I was able to discuss the topics with others and get an understanding. Online learning is not an easy way to get a degree, and I did find myself spending more hours than suggested, due to meeting with the study group and all the pre-work and stuff, but it is a great alternative way of getting a degree and a way of fitting it into a busy life.
Look at your study habits and ability to learn when deciding if it's the way for you to go. You don't want to drop the money on the classes only to determine that the type of learning format really isn't for you. Good luck in your decision... and in your degree. That's a great step and congrats on being willing to take that step!
