Cost and college degrees focus answers many questions!

This is one of three books I purchased to help me find and choose a 3rd graduate degree. The most helpful was "The Best Distance Learning Graduate Schools" by Vicky Phillips and Cindy Yager, c. 1998. This book, "How to get a college degree" was less focused on graduate programs, but still provided me specific information about some of the same programs mentioned in the previous book. I have in fact gone to the campus of Boise State University and inquired further and found a wonderful program, yet with parameters that I do not fit my needs and situation. I have been able to prioritize my criteria and focus on the programs that fit my objective as a result of these two books. The third book, Bear's "College Degrees by Mail & Modem" was not helpful. The data was too superficial, although the format allowed for more specific information, I got the impression that the authors were more interested in getting a title to market than taking the necessary time to gather more exact data required by the reader.

The perfect resource for professionals.

I found this book to be a perfect resource for a professional like myself who desires to pursue a career without having to quit my job. It explains the process of obtaining a college degree online in detail, and has hints and tips which can save the reader thousands of dollars in the pursuit of higher education.
