I have an MA and access to tuition reimbursement for a few years more. Spouse and I agree to pursue only fun/creative degrees going forward. Our local schools have anemic photography programs and the local photography non-credit classes would not get paid for by my employer. The reimbursements only work for accredited and degree-granting programs.

I have narrowed the list to Asssociate degrees at SNHU and SBCC. Strangely, Reddit has very little on this topic. And YouTube has very little to add,

I don’t need the degree. But both programs look appealing and I work better with some structure rather than relying on myself to routinely open up Skillshare after work.

Has anyone here taken online photography / art classes at either college? Is there another respectable and accredited school that offers its programs online that I should consider? Challenge: reimbursement is limited to $1,700 a class… so the big name Art Institute and similar others are no-go’s unless I come out of pocket for each class.
