Will your program be delivered by distance education?
If your program or training will be delivered "at a distance," you will want to find out as much about the school and the coursework as possible. It is important that you find out if the school is accredited by a nationally recognized agency.
To find out if the school's accrediting agency is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, take a look at the List of Nationally Recognized Accrediting Agencies.
To find out if the school is operating legally, contact the state licensing agency using the Directory of Higher Education Officials.
Because distance education programs allow you to work in the convenience of
your own home and at your own pace, it's important that you find out if this is
the right learning style for you. Two helpful guides are: The Distance Learner's
Guide - published by the Western Cooperative for Educational
Telecommunications and the Federal Trade Commission's Guides for Private Vocational and Distance Education Schools
