how do I get a degree online

I want to get a degree online in physical therapy, occupational therapy or radiation therapy. I cannot seem to find any undergraduate programs because they all want you to be cerified first. I need to work while I go and have two kids so online is the only way. I could do just about anything almost two years of rn school and an associate degree in human development and family studies. I would take psych but with managed care therapeutic staff support that I do now is really hurting. Help!!

I hope you can find what you are looking for. I have a feeling though that many of these programs are going to require clinical work and can't be completed 100% online. If your state has professional organizations for these profesions, that might be a place to start to ask questions. Good luck to you!! :)

Bluebird is right, the careers you are looking at require clinical experiences so they most likely cannot be completed totally online, but look around and see what's out there. Maybe you can take all of the "basics" from home and then the last semester or two when clinicals come, you would have to go "on site" to practice in the clinical setting. HOpe you find success!

You need a school that has clinical experience and the latest state of the art equipment.

I know you have children and have to work but go to a school and check out financial aid at an accredited reputable school.

Contact personnel at a hospital and see what schools most of their techs. have attended.

You need to network a little.

When you contact a school make sure it is legit.

Best to you

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
