Off-Campus Learning

Thorson's comprehensive guide includes more than 150 accredited bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs that require little or no time on campus. This study guide will show you how to earn the degree of your choice from an affordable, accredited institution. This is an excellent reference for adults who are thinking about returning to school. This relatively small book of about 250 pages would be excellent to have in your hand as you surf the web for up-to-date information.

Perfect solution for busy professionals!

Save time & money, learn from home! Get a Degree and possibly earn more! Good Read!

The best general guide to regionally accredited DL programs

Thorson details hundreds of programs from AS degrees to Ph.D. offered by approximately 200 regionally accredited institutions. Generally, program descriptions, entrance requirements, credit transfer policies and credit hour costs are included for each entry. Residency requirements, accrediting body, Web address and email contact address are all given prominence. A very detailed piece of work. A separate section covers higher education institutions that are DETC accredited. No unaccredited schools are documented in this book. No foreign schools are listed. Overall, this is a better package that John Bear's offering even with the absence of institutions and programs outwith the United States. This is high praise indeed because Bear's book is very, very good. Those considering the distance learning route to an undergraduate or graduate degree will be well served by this eighth edition of Marcie's well regarded work. (John Bear's book is "Bears' guide to earning college degrees nontraditionally" and is well worth the price for the dry humor alone.) : An honorable mention should also go to Peterson's "Guide to distance learning" a lot of information but alas, no humor.
