Ed Roberts, the Father of Independent Living... attended college in a very heavy iron lung, on his back for years, before getting his degree. Upon graduating in California, Ed was judged "unemployable" because of his iron lung (Polio) by his Voc Rehab Counselor. Ed, return to college/university and received his Master's Degree and later went on to become the Commissioner of Human Services in the State of California. In effect, he became the boss of the person who deemed him "unemployable." Ed Roberts set many more goals before he died so early in life. But he made his point and set the bar for all those who followed in his blazing trails. When it comes to higher education, degrees differ and those who give them differ as well. Just ask a Yale Grad. Will the degree be accepted in business? Will well-established colleges and universities accept any credit hours from these online school, into their degree programs? Some do, some don't. Are your goals Medical or Legal... or a degree in Divinity. Check with your state's education program with local Schools, Colleges and Universities with online programs that generate accredited degrees. Make sure that you get the Most Bang, for your Buck. Remember, it all comes down to you and YOUR Goals. Best Wishes In a message dated 5/5/2010 1:36:46 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Definitely check for an accredited status wherever you choose to study online. Personally, I got a degree through University of Phoenix Online. I can confirm they are accredited and I have had my degree confirmed as valid through the HR of two past employers.

The local community also refers to this University a "Diploma Mill" and worthless. That being said, if you want a college diploma, I'll send you one for half their price and much less effort. Of course, you will have to pay for the paper it is printed on and all postage both ways and my personal time. Knowing this, if you still wish to blow your money..... have we got a deal for you!
