>From Edupage: ONLINE UNIVERSITY ACCREDITED TO GRANT DEGREES Jones International University, which specializes in selling online courses for profit, is the first Internet-only school to be accredited to grant college degrees. The school was accredited last week by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Jones International, which features courses designed by professors from schools like Columbia and Stanford and taught by part-time professors free-lancing for extra cash, offers bachelor's and master's degrees in business communications. "In the U.S. there are 100 million people who need some kind of additional education, and there are only 15 million seats in universities," says founder Glenn Jones. The school started offering Internet courses in business communications four years ago. (Wall Street Journal 9 Mar 99) kathy > Kathy E.
