This site is designed to present links to regionally accredited online graduate school programs, and related sites that help those seeking graduate education.

INTRODUCTION

This site is a directory of links to regionally accredited online graduate school programs, and related higher education sites.
The intent of this site is to help you get a "jump-start" on the process of searching for a well-accredited graduate school program that is primarily available on the web and is an external / distance education program (external /distance program means that for the most part you don't have to attend classes on campus). In other words, an accredited graduate degree program that requires no or minimal (brick and mortar) classroom time, or campus residence, or campus visits. (You may have to attend web classes and you will have to study and do schoolwork, of course.) To the left under "Click Your Degree Choice" are links that will take you to other pages on this site that have links to specific university and college graduate program information.
Now-a-days there are many opportunities for college/university education on the internet. It is even possible to find accredited university doctorate degree programs. Further, there is rapid growth in this area, so that new university programs are constantly becoming available.
As in all important decisions in life, in choosing a graduate school it is a good idea to consult a number of sources of information before making a final decision.
Of course, accreditation is a critical issue, especially in distance education, so I have included a page of accreditation organizations that will enable you to check up on the schools you find. Accreditation by a "regional accreditation authority" is usually THE basic standard you should look for. Regional accreditation means that the merits of the degree you earn and the academic courses you take will be widely recognized across the country and by employers. I intend to include on this site only colleges and universities that have regional accreditation.
In graduate/professional schools there are sometimes advanced "departmental" program accreditation. For example, it is advantageous to go to a law school accredited by the American Bar Association, a clinical psychology program accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA), or a library science program accredited by the American Library Association(ALA).
If you are getting a degree in order to get employment or for professional or career development in a particular industry or in a particular business or corporate environment, it is a good idea to look at employment ads from that industry, and to talk to human resources people from that company or industry to learn what standards for accreditation apply.
The featured graduate school links on this site take you to websites that provide more information about the graduate school's programs, and enable you to request additional information from the graduate school, if you so desire. All the information is provided to you free of charge, so you can request the info from any graduate school or from all of them. By getting this information from the school you are better assured that the info you are receiving is accurate and current. You might also receive a call from the graduate school and in that context you can ask relevant questions about financial aid, services, schedules, instructors, specialized accreditation, other degree programs they offer, and so on...the information that becomes critical as you begin your graduate school education.
It is a good idea to confirm on not-featured school's sites any key information you get from my site, especially where the information concerns the school's degree requirements and programs. They can change their requirements and programs very quickly and without my knowledge.
Another good use of this website is to use it to find online graduate-level courses and classes that can enhance your personal, professional, or career development as higher education.
I also included a page of some Student Information Resources
links that may be of interest to the aspiring graduate student. It also includes some basic information and links on FINANCIAL AID.
A very few of the master's degree programs and doctorate programs may require some resident time at the schools. The required time may vary from zero to about "two weeks" or maybe more. If you are a working person who will be pursuing a degree part-time, the extent of residence requirements may be a critical factor in selecting the college or university.
People sometimes ask "why regional accreditation"? Regional accreditation is the form of institutional accreditation that is most widely recognized by employers and the educational establishment. The six regional accreditation authorities work together to cover the entire nation, so together they actually make a national system. At the same time that a true national system is created, the chances of a particular school getting lost in the masses of schools is reduced because each of the regional authorities concentrates on the schools in their particular region. Historically the regional system grew-up because each region ... north, south, east coast, west coast ... et cetera, grew their own accreditation system based on their own regional needs and priorities. In time, these independent regional accreditation authorities recognized each other, and organized together to created the coordinated national system we have today. Regional accreditation is "institutional" in that it is designed to cover an entire institution, and is essentially a certification that the institution is competent and able to deliver credible and meaningful education and degree programs.

Privacy policy: This website does not collect personal information on the visitor however, the hyperlinks on this site may go to pages which MAY or may not collect personal information. Please refer to the visited site's privacy policy for information on that site's policies. If you elect to request the free info from a college or university, and especially if they are interested in recruiting you as a student, they may give you a telephone call in addition to sending email or overland mail information. In requesting the info package or packet you are, in effect, giving them permission to give you a phone call. This phone will enable you to direct to the school any questions that are of specific interest to you, and also enable you to ask questions about additional degree programs the online graduate school may offer. Recent research indicates an association between advancing education and increases in average salary, however no college, university or online graduate school can guarantee a specific salary or increase because that is likely to depend on a number of factors including education, but also including region, job experience, opportunities, individual characteristics, personal history, etc.

Additional Notes: I believe the information on this site is accurate, but I do not guarantee it. I intend to include on this site colleges and universities that apparently have (at least) regional accreditation, however the presence of a university, college, or other site on this page is not an endorsement or recommendation. Grad School Links are here only to present possible college and university sites that may be of interest to some of those seeking an accredited online or distance graduate school degree. The number of accredited online and distance graduate school degree programs offered is increasing so quickly that it is difficult to keep up. There may be additional online or distance degree program(s) in a site or that are offered by the listed college or university which are not specified in the page above due to changes by the college or university, accident, and/or for purpose of brevity. The site is primarily concerned with degree programs, although you may find degree and certificate programs, as well as leads to non-degree seeking classes or courses at the sites. So, this site may be useful to those seeking a class, course, or certificate. You may find that a college or university is presented redundantly on this sites simply due to the order in which I discovered them, or because I preferred to identify individual university sites in addition to or instead of an online corporate or association site. This site has pages that are dedicated to specific areas of interest. There is a page for Business degrees, and others for Education, Engineering / Technology / Computer, doctorates, accreditation organizations, and new programs. A graduate degree, also termed a postgraduate degree, may be a master's (such as MA, MS, or MBA),or doctorate (such as a PH.D., PsyD, or EDD). A graduate degree could also be an EdS (Education Specialist), JD (Juris Doctorate), or others. The term grad school is often used as an abbreviation for graduate school, the terms graduate school and grad school are considered equivalent on this site. Featured online graduate school degree programs may have a quota of information requests they will accept, and if the quota becomes used-up, their link may lead to a 'multi online graduate school alternative search' website. If that should happen while you are using this site you can feel free to just exit from the 'multi online graduate school alternative search' website, or you can use that page if you wish. I try to remove links with used-up quotas as soon as I notice them, but sometimes I am delayed getting them removed. Usually, you must already have a duely accredited bachelor's degree to start an online graduate school degree program. Additionally, some online graduate school degree programs may have additional requirements for admission and for some schools, prospective students may be screened out from receiving the information package if they don't satisfy a minimum requirement, such as a GPA-level. A college or university may use the term external degree program where another may use the term distance program. The terms external and distance are considered equivalent on this site.
