Which college to attend, University of Oklahoma or Southern New Hampshire University?
The thing is, right now I can only take online classes, and the only online degree that OU offers is a BA in Liberal studies. SNHU offers Social Science is the main degree programs that I was considering. I don't have much of an idea of what I want to do career-wise, but I don't want to do anything with math. Possibly teach. So I'm wondering if going to the bigger university (OU) would be better even though the degree isn't the ideal one?

There are a lot of online schools in the US that are attached to reputable brick and mortar campuses. Several of these offer a wide range of majors. I'll give you some to check into, all of which offer online degrees in several subjects: University of Massachusetts at Amherst Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute University of Denver University of Maryland Duke University Drexel Carnegie Mellon Penn State Ball State U Nebraska - Lincoln Babson Worcester Polytechnic Institute University of Illinois Penn State Colorado State U And there are others. But in general, when you're looking for a distance learning degree, try to find a program at a school that has a good reputation for their "brick and mortar" campus. Oklahoma University would be fine, but I'm not loving the "liberal studies" degree. Most employers would rather you majored in an actual subject. Southern NH University is... well, it's certainly far better than University of Phoenix, I'll give it that. And the people there are very, very nice. Also look at your own state colleges. You may be surprised at what they offer online/via distance.
