[nabs-l] online schools

[Loren Wakefield]

University of Phoenix is accredited by a couple of organizations.  They are
listed on their site.  But I also would not want to waste time getting a
degree from a place that was "accredited.  But then, I'm not sure being
accredited by whatever organization is worth mjuch anyway.  

I am a very strong believer in online education, and it is the wave of the
future.  They aim more towards the non-traditional student as well.  With
everyones busy lives, and need for continuing education, the traditional way
of getting college credit will need to keep up with the times, and many
online colleges and universities try and focus on just that.  --Original

If you are wanting a degree then please consider checking out the site:

www.detc.org

this is the Distance Education and Training Council site.

This will tell you which online schools are actually accredited. The last
time I check University of Phoenix was not and I wouldn't want anyone to pay
a lot of money and place a lot of time and effort into a school that is not
accredited. This site above will explain many things to you or any who is
willing to read it over.

If you are just wanting to have a certification or diploma stating you
completed a course then, it wouldn't really matter if a school was
accredited or not.
