Thanks in advance :) Oh - and yes, I'm logged in, I don't have a sister for the moose to bite, and I'm pretty sure my beeber is stuned (but who can tell these days?)

Here's some advice that I once got, and that I thought made a lot of sense:

Approach the issue from the other side: Ask around at places where you'd ultimately like to work, "From what schools do you most hire graduates?" and then try to ge into THOSE schools.

Maybe this Tusculum is a fine school. Maybe it isn't. See what those actually doing the hiring think about it first.

Say this; I'm logged in, I don't have a sister for the moose to bite, and I'm pretty sure my beeber is stuned (but who can tell these days?) to all potential employers.

The one that says; "You owe me a keyboard" is the one you want to work for.

Don't waste your time or money with any online degree unless it's from a school which also offers regular degrees and has a regular campus. Some schools offer just some courses online, while requiring that some or most be taken in a regular classroom, and that might be a way to make pursuing a degree fit your schedule better (for example, I know the Univ. of Pennsylvania offers Calculus online, though the final exam has to be taken in person). I really think you're better off taking a *long* time to finish a degree from a regular school, than getting a questionable degree from an online-only school sooner.

Here's one database you can search to see if an institution is accredited:

http://www.chea.org/institutions/search.cfm

You can search by name of institution, or by state, or by accrediting organization.
