Do you need a degree to enhance your professional qualifications but can't afford the time or money to go back to school full time? Get Your University Degree at Home outlines how you can study for a recognized degree through some of the world's most prestigious universities--all in the comfort of your own home and often for a fraction of the cost of an on-campus degree. As a distance student you can legitimately:

--Earn a professional qualification in subjects as diverse as accounting, library science and nursing.

--Gain admission as an MBA student at the largest and highest-rated MBA program in the world in just two days--without having a bachelor's degree or a GMAT score.

--Apply credits you have previously earned to a bachelor's degree at an accredited university.

--Get a PhD in disciplines ranging from psychology and education to computer science and ancient history, through universities on three continents.

--Use the internet as a virtual classroom to get your bachelor's degree, advanced engineering degree or MBA.

The author, a veteran university admissions expert, has selected and profiled 50 top universities offering more than 640 distance degree programs, providing incisive commentary about each university. This comprehensive guide also tells you all you need to know about getting a degree through home study, from choosing a legitimate program at an accredited institution to assessing whether you have what it takes to be a successful distance student.
