			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to quality of education, it is hard to beat those universities that have many years of experience. The South University was founded in 1899 in Savannah, GA, and has been educating students ever since. The South University Online offers a number of online degree programs through the Master Degree levels, enabling students who continue to work the opportunity they need to graduate and advance in their field of choice.</p>
<p>South University later expanded to add seven other university campuses, six of which are in the South, and now there is also one in Novi, MI. For those taking online degree programs, which are offered through the Savannah campus, students get the same quality of instruction, the same level of professional attention and expertise, and are also able to choose from a variety of instructional methods.</p>
<p>At South University, the focus is on preparing their students to be able to immediately thrive within the business environment of the real world. Their instructors not only have experience in the real world, but many of them are still professional practitioners in those fields. This experience enables them to convey to students the knowledge needed to provide readiness for the job market and to get established.</p>
<p>Online Bachelors Degrees are offered in Business Administration, Nursing, Criminal Justice, Healthcare Management and in Information Technology. Some Associates Degrees are also offered, but are limited.<br />
<a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/165119003_bddca125a8_m.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-768" src="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/165119003_bddca125a8_m.jpg" alt="Graduation can happen for you, too, with online learning." width="180" height="240" /></a><br />
At the <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/master-degree-programs.php" target="_blank">Master Degree</a> level, online degree programs include Business Administration (MBA), Criminal Justice, Healthcare Administration, Information Systems &amp; Technology, Nursing, and more. For those who want to get an Associate&#8217;s Degree, there are a number of Degree programs available.</p>
<p>Taking online courses through South University enables students to be able to study at any time &#8211; day or night. This adds convenience to your studies, and allows you to work when your schedule permits it. Lessons require answering questions, responding to online discussions and other materials online.</p>
<p>Students enrolled in the <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/accreditation.php" target="_blank">accredited degree programs</a> have easy access to be able to communicate with instructors. Classes are kept small to be able to provide a more personalized instruction. You can also make friends through their online student groups (more than 130) and chatrooms, and can even access other professionals in their field of interest through the Worldwide Professionals Network provided by the school.</p>
<p>Other services are also available online for students working on their <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/choosing_online_programs.php" target="_blank">distance learning degrees</a> at South University. This includes student advisers, tutors, career services and more. Financial aid is available. Their online library gives access to more then 350 databases.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Jones International University (JIU) was founded in 1993 by Glenn R. Jones and has been credited with being the first university ever to be completely online. This unique honor has enabled it to set the bar in online education, and it continues to do so. The distance learning University was accredited by the Higher Learning Commission in 1999 and by the North Central Association. It is a for-profit organization.</p>
<p>Jones International University offers degrees that range from an Associate&#8217;s Degree up through the Doctorate Degrees. There are more than 150 professors that teach in the University and each one has at least a Master&#8217;s Degree.</p>
<p>There are two main programs of training in the University &#8211; the School of Education and the School of Business. Each one has professors that come from a wide range of other schools, giving them an excellent background to provide students with the education needed to be able to compete in those particular fields.</p>
<p>Online courses are taken at specified times of the year, and are divided up into weekly modules. Each week, so many projects will be assigned to each student and this may consist of a paper, a reading assignment, required participation in a discussion forum, or work on a project. All assignments do need to be completed each week.<a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/99660311_e51e91d775_m.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-751" src="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/99660311_e51e91d775_m.jpg" alt="JIU - Jones International University" width="161" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Class work is autonomous, which allows students to log in at any time during the week. Various discussion questions will be posted each week, and students will need to answer them, as well as make comments on what other students have said. Undergraduate courses require &#8211; on average &#8211; between six to fifteen hours per week, per course. Graduate courses will require between 12 to 19 hours per week.</p>
<p>JIU offers a number of ways that students can be helped with their finances. <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/college-financial-aid.php" target="_blank">Financial aid</a> is available in the form of college scholarships, grants, and education loans.</p>
<p>There are also programs available that enable online students to be able to get their education at an advanced rate. Students can get, for instance, a Bachelor&#8217;s Degree and a Master&#8217;s Degree in four years. It takes three years and four months to complete the Bachelor&#8217;s Degree, then eight courses for the Master&#8217;s Degree are completed in the next eight months.</p>
<p>Jones International University stays on the leading edge in education in both fields of <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/onlinedegrees/BUSINESS_MANAGEMENT_MARKETING_AND_RELATED_SUPPORT_SERVICES_Online_College_Degree_bd1.php" target="_blank">business</a> and <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/onlinedegrees/EDUCATION_Online_College_Degree_rd1.php" target="_blank">education</a>. The online school seeks to prepare its graduates to be ready to go to work and succeed in their chosen career field.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ellis University is a new college for online students. It was started in Chicago in 2008 and then received national accreditation in 2009. Its goal is to provide its students with the education and training needed to be ready to go to work in the field that your degree programs are specialized on.</p>
<p>The university offers a number of college undergraduate degrees with a focus on practical courses. It has both Associate Degrees and Bachelor degree programs.</p>
<p>Graduate work is available in several Master&#8217;s Degree programs. These include various <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/business-degree-online.php" target="_blank">MBA’s</a>; a Master of Science in Management; a Master of Science in Instructional Technology; and a Master of Arts in Education. All graduate level courses are offered on a distance learning basis.</p>
<p>In order to help students be able to get the interactive education needed, all faculty members are required to log into their email six days each week. This is sure to give students the quick answers to their questions that they need for a continuous, interesting, and informative education. They also receive training on using the online media that the university uses. All their instructors also have at least a Master&#8217;s Degree in the field that they are teaching. Each of the online courses is interactive and includes video simulations, flash animations, discussion posts, and other tools to enhance a campus environment.</p>
<p>Enrolling in Ellis University requires that students have worked for three years after graduating from high school. If they have less than the required three years, they may also enroll if they have at least thirty college credits from another college. Students that have less than 12 hours credit from any college will be required to take 12 hours of classes toward their Success Certificate. These courses are designed to help students integrate into college life and be prepared for better results in terms of study and social interaction. The four courses include College Success Seminar, College Composition I; Introductory Concepts of Mathematics, and Intro to Sociology.</p>
<p>In order to help its students with <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/college-financial-aid.php" target="_blank">financial aid</a>, the University offers a way to reduce tuition by as much as 50 percent through its Ellis Opportunity Grant. The Grant is available for both undergraduate degree programs and graduate programs. It is available each year and certain academic requirements must be met.</p>
<p>Ellis University also accepts military students. Currently, about one-third of their <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/search/" target="_blank">online students</a> have a military background. Spouses of veterans, as well as their dependents, are also eligible to receive special discounts for their education.</p>

<p>Two teachers in Minnesota started Walden University in 1970. From its very start, Walden has had the goal of preparing students to become tomorrow&#8217;s professionals. Through its many years of providing quality education, there are now more than 36,000 alumni from Walden.</p>
<p>The university, now headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, offers various online college degrees from a Bachelor&#8217;s Degree up through a Doctoral Degree. It offers a wide range of programs, is accredited, and well respected in its quality of education.</p>
<p>Degrees are available, at all levels, in the fields of Education, Counseling, Business Administration, Health studies, <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/onlinedegrees/SOCIAL_SCIENCES_Online_College_Degree_nh1.php" target="_blank">Social Science</a>, Technology, and more. The graduate degrees offer a focus on Education, Health and Counseling, Law &amp; Criminal Justice, Social Science, and more.</p>
<p>Walden University offers opportunity to participate in classroom education at various locations around the United States and around the world. It also enables distance learning students to be able to enjoy online classes in their various degrees from just about anywhere.</p>
<p>Online education at Walden gives students the possibility to perform their studies when they can. They have flexibility as to when they study, but must do so within a preset period of time.</p>
<p>Whether a student is working toward a <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/onlinedegrees/BUSINESS_MANAGEMENT_MARKETING_AND_RELATED_SUPPORT_SERVICES_Online_College_Degree_bd1.php" target="_blank">business degree</a>, an accounting degree, or on any of the other online degrees available at Walden, the goal at this University has always been to provide up-to-date professional information that is current in the field. To accomplish this, the University stays in touch with top professionals in the fields, who also help guide the various university programs.</p>
<p>Teachers work closely with the students in this online school in order to provide the exact courses needed for success. They also are readily available through email and other means.</p>
<p>Some Doctoral programs, as well as a couple of the Master&#8217;s programs, do have a residency requirement. This requirement means that those in Ph.D. programs will need to attend a residency within 90 days after completing the Foundations course. Beyond that, there are residency requirements which must also be fulfilled by meeting just about every month for either four or six days at a designated hotel, conference center, or some university.</p>
<p>When you get <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/accredited-online-degree.php" target="_blank">accredited degrees</a> from Walden University, you receive a quality education. Their Website lets it be known that their curriculum is rigorous. Isn&#8217;t that what you would expect when you attend a University whose goal is to &#8220;change lives, improve communities, and enhance international commerce?&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The American InterContinental University was started in 1970 and has rapidly grown since then to become a source of international education. Campuses are located in several major cities which includes Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, South Florida, and London, England. In order to facilitate students who are not able to attend the physical classrooms, they also have created their AIU Online Webpage to assist those getting an online degree.</p>
<p>The University offers college degrees that range from Associate Degrees through Master&#8217;s Degrees. The college emphasizes its use of industry-current knowledge and skills so that their students are able to get the most from their career training to prepare them for real-world career preparation. Their instructors have been or still are in the career fields that they teach.</p>
<p>The American InterContinental University focuses on seven different career fields. These include Business Administration, Criminal Justice, <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/onlinedegrees/EDUCATION_Online_College_Degree_rd1.php" target="_blank">Education</a>, Healthcare Management, Information Technology, <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/onlinedegrees/BUSINESS_MANAGEMENT_MARKETING_AND_RELATED_SUPPORT_SERVICES_Online_College_Degree_bd1.php" target="_blank">Marketing</a>, and Visual Communication.</p>
<p>AIU offers what they call &#8220;Blended Learning.&#8221; This involves a combination of learning in a classroom situation combined with online learning. Some courses are not available online and will have to be taken on campus.</p>
<p>The University offers traditional courses in such a way that would enable a larger number of students to be able to attend &#8211; if they live near one of the campuses, or decide to live on campus during that time. Classes are available not only on weekdays like a traditional college, but AIU also offers evening classes and even some weekend options.</p>
<p>Students that are taking online courses have access to a wide range of materials. Courses are given in two five-week sessions, and there are four quarters in a year. The school follows the principle that adult students focus and learn better when taking only one or two courses at a time.</p>
<p>Once a student gets near graduation, the University has a Career Services Department.
<div style="width: 338px; height: 284px; float: left;">

</div>
<p>  They will help the student to secure employment and provide counsel so to help students land possible jobs.</p>
<p>AIU also offers the opportunity to study abroad. Their goal is to help students learn a new culture, worldview, and lifestyle. The primary place of learning is in London, England, but students may also have the opportunity to travel to Paris, France and Cape Town, South Africa.</p>
<p>Getting an online education at the American InterContinental University is a school that those who are looking for <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/choosing_online_programs.php" target="_blank">distance education</a> need to consider. It could be your ticket to a much brighter future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DeVry University was started more than 75 years ago in Chicago, IL. The school, which operated under a different name for years, has long been known as a technical school that provided graduates with the edge needed to get ahead in their respective career fields. Today, DeVry University continues that tradition through its online learning and degree programs.</p>
<p>Over the years, the University combined with some other colleges and only recently became known as DeVry University. Today, the DeVry University has more than 90 urban campuses in which students can take traditional classes. Some of these campuses are also in Canada. Many of these campuses also offer online courses and online degree programs, but some of the campuses may not offer all programs.</p>
<p>The University focuses on five different career training colleges: Business &amp; Management, Engineering &amp; Information Technology, <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/onlinedegrees/HEALTH_PROFESSIONS_AND_RELATED_CLINICAL_SCIENCES_Online_College_Degree_tz1.php" target="_blank">Health Sciences degrees online</a>, Liberal Arts &amp; Sciences, and <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/onlinedegrees/VISUAL_AND_PERFORMING_ARTS_Online_College_Degree_gs1.php" target="_blank">Media Arts &amp; Technology degrees online</a>.</p>
<p>The degree programs run from an Associate Degree through various Master&#8217;s Degrees.<div id="attachment_596" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 175px"><img class="size-full wp-image-596" src="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/4478828242_3956af9ae8_m.jpg" alt="Online education degree photos" width="165" height="240" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Online education makes it possible for you, too.</p></div></p>
<p>Semesters at DeVry are based on a three semesters per year program. This enables students to complete degrees faster than normal and to be able to get into their career sooner than what might be possible otherwise. An Associate Degree, for instance, can be completed in four semesters instead of two years, and a Bachelor&#8217;s Degree can be finished in three years.</p>
<p>The college online at DeVry provides students with access to their college courses, research materials and library on a 24/7 basis.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kaplan University offers distance learning courses to students, and has been around since 1937. It has gone through three different name changes over the years, and has been known as Kaplan College, Quest College, and the American Institute of Commerce (AIC). It arrived at its current name of Kaplan University when it started offering <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/masters-degree-online.php" target="_blank">online Master&#8217;s Degree programs</a> in 2004. It is a subsidiary of the Washington Post Company.</p>
<p>Kaplan University continues to expand its campuses, as well as its course offerings. There are currently more than 70 different campuses nationwide. Its online programs enable it to offer courses worldwide.</p>
<p>Students are enabled to take their college courses online, which lets them pursue their studies at their own rate. The College takes advantage of innovative teaching methods including Interactive Seminars, Online Quizzes, Discussion Boards, and Web Field Trips. It also has a large online library that students can access.</p>
<p>In the Fall of 2007, the Concord Law School became a part of the Kaplan University. This made Concord the first <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/onlinedegrees/LEGAL_PROFESSIONS_AND_STUDIES_Online_College_Degree_pj1.php" target="_blank">online law school</a>. It is registered with the Committee of Bar Examiners in the state of California. In addition to the more traditional Law Degrees, Concord also offers the Executive Juris Doctor Degree, which is designed for those who want career advancement but do not intend to practice law. The online university also offers the new Small Business Practice LLM.</p>
<p>Kaplan University also specializes in Continuing Education courses for those who are career minded and need to stay on top of their field &#8211; or want a way to cross-train and advance. With the University&#8217;s 70 years of experience in education, they know how to help professionals keep ahead with ongoing online courses, as well as traditional. The school’s <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/online-career-training.php" target="_blank">career training courses</a> also enable students to be able to receive licensing in many different fields.</p>
<p>For those who may be looking for an alternative way to get a high school diploma, the Kaplan University High School may be just the answer.
<div style="width: 338px; height: 284px; float: left;"><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

// ]]&gt;</script><br />
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript">
</script></div>
<p> Everything is done online, and of course there is the usual homework and other projects. Kaplan has been offering the high school program since 2001. When the coursework is completed, the student earns a traditional high school diploma, not a GED. They also offer classes as a Prep School to help students get ready for college.</p>
<p>In addition to the accredited online degree programs, Kaplan University offers students further help in their careers. They have a Career Resources Center and provide counseling for careers, a job placement service, virtual career fairs, and much more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding the perfect online university can be exciting after you have found just the one you need. Trying to find the right one, however, can take some time.</p>
<p>Many online schools have very good programs and teachers and are accredited, too. Here is a brief look at the top online universities.</p>
<p><strong>University of Phoenix</strong></p>
<p>The University of Phoenix currently has the largest enrollment of any distance learning college in the United States. Their goal is to constantly provide updated material in their courses, especially in the high-tech fields that have constant change. They also have a &#8220;Graduate Team&#8221; that is assigned to each student to help them get the Degree they enrolled to obtain.</p>
<p>The University offers distance degrees ranging from an Associate Degree all the way through several Doctoral Degrees. It does have a requirement that students must be working in an organizational type of environment so that the principles taught can be applied. The University currently has 200 satellite schools for students who want to take traditional classes.</p>
<p><strong>Capella University</strong></p>
<p>Capella University became incorporated in 1991 and soon began offering degrees up through PhD in 1993. The University has its own high rise office building in Minneapolis, MN, and has received a number of awards for its excellence in instruction.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/distance_learning_now.php" target="_blank">Online students</a> take courses that have specific beginning and end dates. The classes are interactive but students can access them at any time of day or night. There are no lectures, and students interact through weekly online discussions.</p>
<p><strong>DeVry University</strong></p>
<p>DeVry University has been around for many years. It now has campuses in more than 90 urban locations in the United States and Canada. It offers three different Degrees &#8211; the Associate Degree, the Bachelor&#8217;s Degree, and Master&#8217;s Degree Programs. Courses may be taken in a traditional setting, through online classes, or both. Classes are taught on campus in mornings and evenings.</p>

<p>There are three semesters at DeVry University each year. This enables students to complete degree programs faster than usual. An Associate&#8217;s Degree can be completed in a year and a Bachelor&#8217;s Degree in three years. Online courses use enhanced interactive technology.</p>
<p>Each of the above universities is accredited and provides quality education, which is comparable to what would be received in a traditional classroom setting. They are also friendly to military personnel and many of their students are currently serving our country. Financial aid is also accepted from a number of sources.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The University of Phoenix is the largest distance learning school in the United States today. John Sperling, who was an economist and a professor from Cambridge, started this school as a private university in 1976. Today, it has many thousands of students enrolled in its many degree programs worldwide.</p>
<p>The University of Phoenix now has more than 200 different campus locations where classes can be taken in a traditional setting. In addition, it offers many online courses and a distance learning degree in many different areas of study.</p>
<p>With its more than 20 years of offering online education, it has greater experience than other universities. It also continues to innovate its material and instructional methods to ensure that it is using available technology. To help their students, the University of Phoenix provides a wide variety of instructional materials, including computer simulations, an online library, and other helps.</p>
<p>The college offers courses at all degree levels &#8211; from an <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/online-aa-degree.php" target="_blank">online Associate Degree</a> through the <a href="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/online-doctoral-degree.php" target="_blank">Doctorate Degree</a> level. They confer with professionals in their various degree fields to make sure that the material taught is current with the industry. In order to accomplish this, the course material is regularly updated.</p>
<p>Getting accepted as a student at Phoenix means that you have to have the required degrees leading up to the degree program you want to enter. In addition, you also have to be working in some kind of organizational structure so that you can apply the information provided in the classroom.</p>
<div id="attachment_547" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><img class="size-full wp-image-547" src="http://www.onlinedegreezone.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/3251773264_67c6941cf2_m.jpg" alt="Get your college degree from the University of Phoenix" width="240" height="192" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Get your college degree from the University of Phoenix</p></div>
<p>The University of Phoenix offers many degree fields. This includes the Arts and Sciences, Business and Management, Criminal Justice and Security, Education, Human Services, Nursing and Health Care, Psychology and Technology.</p>
<p>In order to help their students along the way, the school appoints advisers in three areas &#8211; enrollment, academic, and financial. These advisers are there to help students in these three areas &#8211; especially for those who are working on their undergraduate degree. They provide help over the phone and through emails, and may check on attendance records and anything else that indicates a student&#8217;s progress. The school calls these three different counselors a students &#8220;Graduation Team&#8221; to help them arrive at their graduation.</p>
<p>Online students have a greater portion of writing for their assignments, since there really is not a better way to determine and ensure learning. Online help is provided &#8211; even technical help with your computer &#8211; if it should be needed. The University of Phoenix enables students to take and complete their online courses at their own speed.</p>
