Review:

I graduated from Chico 3 years ago. I live in Southern California and was able to do all my work online and/or at my local community college.  This type of program is a godsend to people like me  --  a working mom living in a remote area.  I would have had to travel 2 hours (one way) to my nearest 4yr university, which is why I had not finished my degree.  

I found the online degree program at Chico State to be an exceptionally good value, as I paid exactly the same tuition as if I had been a student physically present on campus.  The program advisors were extremely helpful in planning my program and making sure all my credits transferred.  

I especially enjoyed the mix of delivery options in my online classes; some were "read and post" classes with no live instructor element, while others were "live" classes broadcast from a studio classroom  with resident students present in the class and an assistant assigned to monitor the computer to ask the questions that the online students typed in.  With just a couple of exceptions, the professors were excellent!  Even after I have finished my degree I can still email them with questions.
  
 I have nothing but praise for the online degree program at Chico State.
