Does anyone know any online English degree universities?

My regards to the community, I am working as an junior to a technical writer and have my job prospects much better but they say that I need an English degree for that. I did think of joining a university but that wouldn’t be practical as I have a job on my hands and a few responsibilities to be taken care of, so the best I feel is to go for an online degree which has to be from an accredited college. I would like you to suggest me accredited colleges that conduct online English degrees.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Kathleen_23,

    Are you from the UK? No offence, but your English seems a little stilted?

    It may be suitable for you to start below degree level and work your way up to doing a degree.

    If you feel that you are ready for a degree, the Open University do degree courses that are highly regarded.
    Gone ... or have I?

    The manner in which Kathleen uses English suggests to me that she is from India. That could explain a certain misunderstanding:

    Here in the UK, an English degree is generally a study of literature. Such a course is excellent in its own way, but probably not a good preparation for a career as a technical writer.

    All I can suggest is that you ask your employer, and other people who work with you, for their recommendations.

    [FONT=&quot]As you said that your job has good prospects, I think you don’t need to leave the job. But the second idea is really very good. I have got one site when I was searching online colleges for my sister. Look at [/FONT]Online English degree
    [FONT=&quot] . My sister found a good college with the help of it. It provides a list of online colleges, from which you can select the best college according to your requirements.[/FONT]

    Dude! You're very welcome but you do realise that MSE is a British website, don't you?
