When choosing a college degree online, you must consider several factors. First, you must look at whether the school is accredited. Accreditation is proof that an academic institution meets a quality of standards for education. Secondly, you want to ensure that this degree program meets licensing or certification requirements for employment. This is especially important in the education field. Some online degree programs do not meet guidelines for licensing in some states for teaching in public or private schools. Lastly, you want to ensure that the online program meets your career goals. In other words, does this online program fit the career you are wanting to pursue. Will the degree you receive by completing the program aid you in obtaining employment in your desired field?

Other than availability of your desired major, ACCREDITATION.  Many online schools are not accredited by regional accreditation agencies, this upon completion, your degree is useless.  This results in student loan bills (if you used a student loan) for a degree you can’t use.  Do not assume a school is accredited because they say so.  There are many accreditating agencies, but not all are accepted when applying for licensure in a field.

The most obvious thing – to check the accreditation of colleges – you have already been told.
But I would also add that when choosing a college also study in detail what fields of study they offer. Choosing a major is an important aspect of planning, here are some details: https://www.stltoday.com/brandavestudios/college-connection/tips-for-choosing-your-college-major/article_6745552e-7063-5945-86d7-5646480bba37.html. Major in many ways will determine the focus of your future work, so you need to choose the course which interests you.
