The
Best Distance Learning Graduate Schools. This guide to getting
a graduate degree via distance learning is both a "how to" advice book
and a "where to" directory. In two parts, the first section includes nine
chapters in which the authors explain the "ABCs" of how graduate schools
come to you. They discuss how distance learning programs work, how to
evaluate them (and avoid "rip-off diploma mills"), and how to apply to
them. The second part is a directory of nearly 200 institutions (that
are regionally accredited or approved by the Distance Education and Training
Council) at which one can obtain degrees via distance learning. The profiles
include information on admission criteria, prerequisites, delivery methods,
tuition, and whether or not the student needs to spend time on campus.
