What is the best online college to earn a liberal Arts degree?
My son wants to study online and wants to have an online degree for Liberal arts. Which college would be best for him? He lives in Hong Kong now, so which college would be best for him to study Liberal Arts online?
Thanks.

Hello
As it is important to access reputable institutions, have a look at http://www-icdl.open.ac.uk/ for details of some distance learning databases and providers.
An increasing number of UK universities also provide study by distance learning; for information on providers see http://www.ucas.com/students/b.....celearning.
As other answers suggest, it is possible for your son to study, through ’supported open learning’, with The Open University as an overseas student.
•To find out about The Open University and ‘supported open learning’, see http://www.open.ac.uk/about/ou/ and http://www.open.ac.uk/about/ou/p5.shtml.
•For details about study from overseas, see http://www.open.ac.uk/new/study-overseas.shtml.
•For a list of courses available to students living in Hong Kong, see http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses.....gKong.shtm (just click on any course of interest to get a detailed course description).
•For contact details of The Open University educational partner in Hong Kong, see http://www3.open.ac.uk/contact.....untryid=29 – from this site it is possible to view the list of courses available through the educational partner – these courses include Chinese Humanities.
•If your son would like to look at some course materials to check if the content and the level are appropriate to his needs, he can go to the OpenLearn site at http://www.open.ac.uk/openlearn/home.php (for example, click on ‘Browse Topics’, choose Arts and History from the subject area, and scroll down until pages 3 and 4 where he will currently find 4 modules from A103, the Level 1 Arts and Humanities course. Module 1 on page 4 provides an introduction to this area of study). Although I have given A103 as an example, he will need to check if this course, or an equivalent, is available in Hong Kong when he is ready to begin his undergraduate study – it is probably best to speak directly to an adviser there to discuss the best way to complete his degree.
I hope this information is useful and I wish your son well in his future study.
