Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Hardly a "top-notch" directory, this book is disappointing in so many ways. It's an obvious attempt to cash in on a popular topic. The information only vaguely represents what is available in distance learning today. Much of the book seems to be a "cut and paste" exercise on the few schools the authors (who obviously were sleeping at their desks during that Research 101 class) want to endorse or feel they have to include for no particular reason. Many important ground breaking schools like Excelsior College and Charter Oak are completely ignored. The authors might also be interested to know about some recent innovations in books like a "table of contents" and an "index." Readers seem to find these helpful. My personal recommendation is Bears' Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning by John Bear. It's been continually revised for the last 25 years and is a comprehensive guide to distance education. I expect to see this one in the outside bargain bin for 25 cents real soon!

Institutions from top universities to technical schools are taking advantage of the rich resources and opportunities of the worldwide web to offer online classes, courses, and even degree-granting programs. It has never been easier to complete your education without leaving home. But how can students determine which programs are genuine and which are scams? How can students maximize their learning experiences with the kinds of programs that are right for them, and the kinds of degrees that will take them the farthest after "graduation"? Matthew Helm and April Helm have the answer. Get Your Degree Online is a top-notch directory of the best distance-learning programs available. But the book offers so much more than a directory. Readers will learn about the various delivery methods involved in distance learning, the advantages and disadvantages of this form of education, and how to make sure distance learning is really for them. They will learn how to determine if a program is accredited and why accreditation is important, and how to tell real education opportunities from fly-by-night scams. They will even find out how to get financial aid for their online education. The book covers more than 350 degree programs.
