Question

Asked 10/31/2007

how can I distinguish a genuine university offering distance learning courses from a diploma mill?

I am looking into postgraduate distance learning options. What credentials can I look for, so that I know I'm not just getting a piece of paper.
[I am very suspicious about Belford University. It claims to be accredited by the 'International Accreditation Agency for Online Universities]' Yet they claim you can get a degree in 7 days based on 'life experience?!'

Open University is a decent accredited university, I'm sure many employers are aware of it. My sister is doing a course with them at the moment.

Why are you looking into doing a distance learning course though? Why not full time with a University... distance learning is not always easy, as my sister has found because it limits you from receiving help and guidance and you don't get to learn with others.
