A friend of mine, age 70, has decided she wants to go back to school. So she is thinking about enrolling in an online-only university --one of those which advertises on tv. I'm old enough to remember correspondence schools and in fact, once dated a guy who graduated from one of those scams only to find that prospective employers would not accept his education credentials. I'm concerned that my friend will suffer the same fate as my former boyfriend.
Have any of you had any personal experience with online universities or know anyone who has? If so, was the diploma or degree accepted by employers? Are these schools worth the money and effort?
