Editorial Reviews

Review

Mr. Voeller s book is both inspiring and practical. Just think--your student could potentially earn a bachelor s degree in less than six months and for under $5,000 and do so primarily from home. --Kendra Fletcher, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

When I first heard of Accelerated Distance Learning by Brad Voeller, I was amazed, and a little skeptical. Is it really possible to get a degree at home and at a faster pace? It is hard enough to get a degree in the normal four years. Wouldn t it be impossible to get a degree in two years or less? After reading through the book, however, I became entirely convinced. Distance learning, even accelerated distance learning, is possible. And, what s more, this book will help you (almost) every step of the way. --Nate Desmond, Debt-free Scholar

If you have children in high school or approaching high school, then I highly recommend you check this book out and read it through. --Christopher Lyons, RCC Library Newsletter

This review is from: Accelerated Distance Learning: The New Way to Earn Your College Degree in the Twenty-First Century (Paperback)

Voeller's techniques will be a godsend to those who want to obtain their degree on an accelerated schedule and save money in the process. Both practical and envisioning, the author's lively and readable text makes this an accessible guide for highschoolers in a hurry, as well as for the brainy grad-school crowd already using some of these techniques. The Internet is changing the face of higher education and no longer does a student have to settle for mediocre instruction when some of the world's best teachers now offer their courses online. Voeller also guides the student through the process of testing out (CLEP, Regents, etc.), mentored study, and portfolio assessment for academic knowledge learned on the job. His advice on how to find exactly the course you want (or craft your own) is excellent. Though Voeller covers some of the same ground as Dr. John Bear, his information on learning efficiency and retention is a welcome addition to this subject.

Brad Voeller's book provides some of the most useful information available on the other options for higher education.

I personally have used the information taught in this book to earn my bachelors degree for under $8000 in less than 2 years.

It is a must read reference.

This review is from: Accelerated Distance Learning: The New Way to Earn Your College Degree in the Twenty-First Century (Paperback)

I have implemented the techniques and learning strategies Brad Voeller writes about in his book and I am on my way to finishing my degree in just under 2 years. There is a lot of information out there about Distance Education. It would have ben overwhelming to try to figure it out on my own. This book is a concise way to understand the way Distance learning can work. The accelerated methods have been an incredible boost in the way I learn and think. This is a must read for the person seeking ways to beat the non-traditional methods of education.
