Make Sure You Are Getting The Best Possible Distance Learning University Degree
Unfortunately all good ideas invite their own levels of scam artists and criminals. Many of these less than reputable people spend a lot of money and time trying to make themselves look reputable all in a carefully designed charade that is used to steal your money. When you are looking into a distance learning university degree you always want to be certain that you are looking into an accredited distance learning college before you get yourself involved. The process of getting a distance learning university degree is very similar to going to a school in person. There is a registration period, a financial aid assistance office and a lot of paperwork to fill out to make sure everything is in order. A distance learning university degree is serious business but there are still criminals out there that look at people seeking a distance learning university degree as potential victims. Protect yourself and make sure that you do not wind up one of those victims and always research thoroughly a distance learning university degree before you sign anything.
When you are looking for a distance learning university degree program you need to remember that you are checking out the school as much as they are checking you out. Acceptance into a distance learning university degree program needs to be a two way street and you need to be certain that you are getting yourself into a quality school. The first thing you want to do is search the Internet to see what former, and current, students are saying about the distance learning university degree program you are considering. If there is a lot of negative chatter then you may want to consider moving on to a new program.
Always Check Their Credentials
Never sign up for a distance learning university degree program with a school that is not properly accredited. The accreditations for online programs may be a little different than standard programs so always do plenty of research and know exactly what you are looking for when you begin your search for a school. Criminals are counting on you not doing your research, so be sure to head them off before you lose a single penny and always look for an accredited program.
There is a lot of trust involved in getting an online education so always be certain that you are very familiar with the requirements of each distance learning university degree program you are looking at and also make sure you look at the credentials of the school as well.

1) Decrease in the American standard of living. Retirement will be a thing of the past for most Americans. More kids going to vocational school, real wages will remain stagnant (for males, they have been) or fall slowly. 2) I think colleges will change dramatically, as efforts to eliminate subsidies to state education fade, and more money is shifted to cheap online degrees in Asia and elsewhere. I expect colleges to become degree mills, community colleges to play more of a vocation/remedial role, and private schools to see severely declining enrollment. 3) A switch to single-payer healthcare. Eventually, this will get support from businesses that are looking to stay competitive in the global economy. And healthcare will become unaffordable. 4) Along with number one, a marked increase in the cost of electricity, gasoline, and water. I think we’ll all be paying SoCal electric rates by 2018 (inflation adjusted). As groundwater depletion accelerates, I expect to see charges for town water increase to the point that they have an affect on consumption. As the prices jump, I’m expecting a correlated increase in the amount of privatization. Gasoline, I think we’re only a few years away from $6 a gallon. There’s a lot of evidence to suggest we’re near peak, so within the next decade, I’d expect another significant increase. 5) The end of the exurbs. I don’t know how long it will take to dismantle suburbia, but far-flung suburbs will be the first to go. I expect that as the flow out of the exurbs gradually increases, it will create a feedback loop, sending the most mobile families to cities and towns with better school systems. Those are things that I’m fairly certain will occur during my lifetime, barring a significant change.

Very thoughtful piece. But to your “who wants to buy the discomfort of having your ideas challenged” point, I think you’re being too cynical. I actually market this notion to 1,000s of kids in secondary school and college-bound who are hungry for “more.” Challenge and the room to excel and push themselves is exactly what they’re looking for. I know you know who they are because you teach them at the schools with which you have been and are affiliated.
So, I don’t think it’s all about economics in the sense of slick marketers trying to sell a sugary version of higher ed. To me, the cautionary tale here is that a little more than a decade ago the end of print media was forecast and a lot of print professionals stuck their heads in the sand. While universities and newspapers aren’t perfectly analogous, I think Carey is simply saying “pay attention folks” because something has *got* to give on the price of higher ed. It’s not that students want it quick and easy, they just want to be able to afford to go to college.
You ask why must we assess the health or value by how the money flows? Because real people have to pay tuition and they can’t afford to. If we’re not careful our system will lose the gains of the last half century we’ve made, and we’ll be back to a quality undergraduate education being a luxury only for the rich elite.
Thank you for your comments. I do know the kids you are talking about and perhaps I am being too cynical. I only wish they all my students wanted more. I’m grateful that people like you promote rigor as a positive value.
I agree with Carey that colleges should heed what’s happening to newspapers, and I’m not proposing colleges should be a luxury for the rich elite. However, I don’t want them to follow the lead of online universities by offering what looks like the same product but isn’t. In education, as in most things, you generally get what you pay for. Colleges might not need to be so expensive–I’m sure I’d rather not pay the football coach so much!–but I hope they find a way to compete that includes boasting about what online institutions may not match.
Thanks for visiting.
I am not sure what your situation, but I suggest a couple of ideas. First- consider your major- make it is marketable to future employers. Second- check the accreditation standards for any school you have interest because a school that is NOT regionally credit will provide you a degree that does not hold water if you choose to continue your future studies in graduate school, but acceptance depends under this situation depends on a particular employer. You want THAT school to be regionally accredited over nationally accredited. If you need a greater explanation, I will gladly give more detail. Third-check with the military for ideas to continuing education. They should have suggestions available to you.
Karen, I’m not sure what you mean by diploma program. That’s not something I’ve heard of so I’m guessing we don’t have that either.
As a homeschool family, you have the right to create your own diploma at the end of high school for your kids. You can also find forms online to use if you don’t want to create your own. The actual diploma isn’t what actually helps or hurts them for college so you can really do whatever you want with that. The most important thing to have is the transcript and the ACT or SAT score. Those are the things colleges will look at.
If you’re looking for a graduation ceremony, there may be a homeschool group in your area that works on things like that. Our city has a group that you can be a part of starting your junior year (I think) and they make plans for things like graduation ceremonies. It’s really pretty cool!
I don’t know if that helps at all or if I’ve totally misunderstood what you were trying to say. Hopefully this is what you meant!

I’m all in favor of entrance exams for ed school, and for all college. These could be waived in certain circumstances, such as AP scores above 3, but it’s long past time for colleges to stop remedial courses. That should be done in community colleges, with some exceptions in western states where geography limits access. Even in that situation, successful completion of remedial courses should be required BEFORE college acceptance and those credits should not count toward graduation. Also, the percentage of graduates needing remedial courses should be immediately available online, broken down by college and high school. Any interested person could check the website and find that (x) percent of (y) HS graduates required remediation before being admitted to (y) State. Those two changes should increase the pressure on the k-12 system to ensure that their graduates have real knowledge and skills. That should also apply to graduates going to vocational programs, the military or to work.
