I can't be all that objective since I co-authored this book. In 1998, when published, this was the first ever printed guide to accredited online graduate schools. In 2000 we decided to make it a free database accessible to all online rather than keep the data locked up in a printed commercial book. The "old" book cost $25 and listed 125 online masters and doctorates. The free online degree guide I developed at http://www.geteducated.com is based on this book. The free online directory lists +1,700+ online master's programs and online phd programs. I do recommend the free online guide we maintain now for anyone interested in an update or trustworthy guide to the best distance learning graduate schools. Hope the free version keeps helping people get educated online!
