Are there any undergraduate schools that more flexibility to full time working students?

Classroom time flexibility like 4 days a week or combination day & evening classes.

Hi Eric, I too got my BA from University of Phoenix, in class one night a week with study group (flexible) 1 night a week. I worked full time, I was a single parent raising 2 children. There were times they needed additional attention I would do remote classes for two classes to stay on track. I graduated in 3 years with a 3.41 GPA. I later got my MA from Kaplan University online. There are many schools with excellent programs, just pick the discipline of your interest check out the programs- then pick one. Oh, I believe University of Phoenix is offering a free trial period right now. Check it out could be a fit for you too.

University of Phoenix. Avoid at any cost Walden University. It is a money scam. Good luck

I am also interested in looking for earning a masters degree while working full time but wondering how to go about this as well. I am in Illinois so I'm not sure it varies state by state.. So I'm wondering how much more difficult it is to earn a masters degree

SUNY Empire State College is specifically for adult students that have full time jobs. They have 35 campuses all over NY state. I go to the Tribeca (Manhattan) center and it's worked out very well for me, especially since it is a state university.

There are "Charter Schools" that allow you to work at your own pace. As well taking with any counselor at any local school will clarify your questions. They more likely will have the lists of schools available that are nationally accredited and reliable. All the best for 2016!

There are many "for profit" schools that cater to people with full-time jobs. Some are quite good while others are borderline scams. Choose carefully!!

Since public universities feel the competition, they offer night and offsite degree programs through their extensions. For example, here in CA both the UC and Cal State systems offer Associate and Bachelor programs for working adults. They even set up satellite "campuses" near employment centers to alleviate commuting distance and time, as well as a lot of online instruction.

I did my undergraduate and two masters at Western Governors University. It's all online, but it isn't for people who require a lot of structure to learn.

I was able to work full time and do my BSN on computer from University of Phoenix. I loved the classes and felt the instructors were very helpful if I had problems. I liked that the classes usually added to my computer knowledge as will as skill sets.
