Many schools offer online degrees now, tapping into a market of busy professionals who don't have time or access to structured local programs.
But Furman University's Bill Berg warns that not every program you can find online is on the up and up.
"You can still find Web sites that will offer you anything from an Associates Degree
to a PhD degree for $50," he said.So the U.S. Department of education has created an online search engine for online educational programs. Plug in the name of the school, and the site will tell you if it's an accredited program.More useful information at the Online Learning Update.
