....and unfortunately the author fails to recognize that. When I saw that Kennedy-Western University was included in this book, I knew there was trouble. KWU is an unaccredited school that has maintained campuses (Mail Boxes, Etc. locations, actually) in Hawaii, Idaho, and now Wyoming. Although the school is actually RUN from California, it is not allowed to enroll students living in California.

Red Alert, folks! If this is indicative of the research that went into the rest of the book, I'm frightened. There are a number of other guides available (Bears' Guide to Earning Degrees Nontraditionally, Campus Free College Degrees, and Peterson's Guide To Distance Learning) that do their homework and offer many convenient, legitimately accredited options for the nontraditional and distance learner.

There are a number of great books on this subject. This is NOT one of them. It includes schools that are unaccredited. There are over 350 fully accredited schools offering full degrees via distance learning. Go to collegeathome.com, Petersons.com or degree.net for complete info on all of these schools. I found all of these books superior by far to this volume. This book is far below the standard set by the other top books in the field.

I found this book to be a perfect resource for a professional like myself who desires to pursue a career without having to quit my job. It explains the process of obtaining a college degree online in detail, and has hints and tips which can save the reader thousands of dollars in the pursuit of higher education.

I found this book to be an excellent resource for Online Education. I could easily find the degree I am looking for and the actual cost of such a program. I definitely recommend this book to adults who want to pursue college education from their homes.

This is one of three books I purchased to help me find and choose a 3rd graduate degree. The most helpful was "The Best Distance Learning Graduate Schools" by Vicky Phillips and Cindy Yager, c. 1998. This book, "How to get a college degree" was less focused on graduate programs, but still provided me specific information about some of the same programs mentioned in the previous book. I have in fact gone to the campus of Boise State University and inquired further and found a wonderful program, yet with parameters that I do not fit my needs and situation. I have been able to prioritize my criteria and focus on the programs that fit my objective as a result of these two books. The third book, Bear's "College Degrees by Mail & Modem" was not helpful. The data was too superficial, although the format allowed for more specific information, I got the impression that the authors were more interested in getting a title to market than taking the necessary time to gather more exact data required by the reader.

This is not a book for a sophisticated net user looking for decent graduate programs.

This book should be renamed distance learning for idiots. The listing of online college programs is very poor.

It gives me a great pleasure to express my opinion about a perfect and successful guide illustrates the recent and easiest way to get a college degree from the comfort of our home by a very progressed technology in the end of this 20th. century which is INTERNET.. it makes the whole world available to your hand even learning from distance..

For some circumstances i had to work after highschool, putting aside the dream of getting a college degree and having better position and carier for my future.. that i couldn't attend usual classes because of my work.. But when i've been informed with this book, i ordered for and read it.. it brought to me a very practical, easy and convenient concept to direct my practical life to a more specialized and proffesional field in nowadays.. which i start to act according to.

This book took into consideration the technology progress and the practical time requirements to offer the way to keep in touch with them, also it contains a guide for most of universities, colleges and institutes that are applying this modern way in studying online which make it easier and shorter to me to acheive the GOAL..
