I really enjoyed my time in undergrad school having the face-to-face interaction and making new friends to hang out with. The on-line program could be very overwhelming because you do not have much support to keep you on-track like the ground campus offers. I don't know, that's a tough choice. The reason I chose on-line is because I knew I'd be moving in the middle of the program and didn't want to mess with transferring credits and having to pay out-of-state tuition.

There are TONS of traditional universities and community colleges out there that offer distance classes. Just poke around a bit, I'm sure you can find a traditional program that has an online certification piece. I know at my university you can practically do your whole damn degree online, and when you're done, you get a regular ol' diploma from Oregon State University.
You might end up missing one vital piece, though, by doing a degree online for your CNA. The program at my local community college corresponds directly with the recommended course of study for the CNA exam in my state. Will yours? It also includes labs and 75 hours of clinical experience. Will yours?
What are the requirements where you live? Will the program meet those requirements?
Sure, someone might not look askance at an online degree. But if you don't feel like you know what you're doing in a highly practical field, is it worth it?
