Bear's Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning

Rating:

This is an excellent reference work for researching the various
levels of accreditation by colleges and universities both here and abroad.

Degrees are granted in various genres; namely, the traditional
college/university which requires attendance and a rigid credit
hour sequence, honoraria, degrees issued by evaluation of relevant work experience and a combination of experiences both classroom and workplace. The volume lists online accreditation for Strayer University. Various schools in the UK are listed under Distance Education. These colleges and universities are Keele, Coventry and Oxford Brooks University.

The volume has a wealth of information on colleges and universities throughout the world. The author critiques the
level of accreditation, as well as unaccredited institutions
and degree mills. This information would be valuable for anyone
considering an investment in Distance or Online Education either
in the USA or abroad. The acquisition is well worth the price.
