2.0 out of 5 stars Revised? Not really!, July 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Campus-Free College Degrees: Accredited Off-Campus College Degree Programs (Paperback)

I just received the "revised" 1999 version and find it is the 1998 edition (went to press in late 1997). There are NO new schools or NEW degree programs. The old edition was good but it needs to be updated. Get Peterson's at Amazon (updated annually) or Distance Degrees at www.collegeathome.com (updated every six months). Thorson has 31 schools offering MBAs, e.g. Distance Degrees has over 85! Peterson's have over 60. If this book was updated annually it would be great. Good info on too few schools.

This review is from: Campus-Free College Degrees: Accredited Off-Campus College Degree Programs (Paperback)

Thorson's comprehensive guide includes more than 150 accredited bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs that require little or no time on campus. This study guide will show you how to earn the degree of your choice from an affordable, accredited institution. This is an excellent reference for adults who are thinking about returning to school. This relatively small book of about 250 pages would be excellent to have in your hand as you surf the web for up-to-date information.
