How Can You Tell If A College Offering A Distance Learning Degree Is Legitimate?
By Kris Bickell
Are you considering getting your college degree online? But not sure how you can tell if the college offering the degree is legitimate?

Online courses and online degree programs continue to grow in popularity. But just because they are popular, and just because the name of the college sounds good, does not necessarily make them legitimate.

On the other hand, just because you have not heard of a college does not mean it is not completely legitimate.

The Internet has transformed the way students learn, and the way you can get a degree. You can earn a degree from virtually any college in America without ever stepping foot on campus. But that means you need to make sure the time, effort, and money you put into earning your college degree is worthwhile.

So, how can you tell if the college offering the degree is legitimate?

By checking the college’s accreditation.

Make sure that the college you are considering is accredited by one of the six regional accrediting agencies recognized by the U.S Department of Education. These agencies grant public and private universities their accreditation.

Unfortunately there are many accrediting agencies that are not “official”. And while colleges accredited by these unofficial agencies may still provide you with a quality education, you won’t be able to obtain Federal Financial Aid or transfer your credits to an officially accredited college. And you may find that certain employers won’t accept the degree, and therefore won’t hire you.

Here are the six regional accrediting agencies recognized by the U.S Department of Education. If your college is listed, get out the books and start studying!

{PS school - In Europe during the Middle Ages and much of the Early Modern period, the main purpose of schools (as opposed to universities) was to teach the Latin language. This led to the term grammar school which in the United States is used informally to refer to a primary school but in the United Kingdom means a school that selects entrants on their ability or aptitude. Following this, the school curriculum has gradually broadened to include literacy in the vernacular language as well as technical, artistic, scientific and practical subjects. Many of the earlier public schools in the United States were one-room schools where a single teacher taught seven grades of boys and girls in the same classroom. Beginning in the 1920s, one-room schools were consolidated into multiple classroom facilities with transportation increasingly provided by kid hacks and school buses. }
