Reviewer: Andrea Stoery from United States
This book ia a good tool for those interested in learning about distance learning. It included information a what to look for in a school, associations that accredit schools, financial aid information and a dictorary of schools and programs. It is a great resource and information source for those new to distance education and those who are wanting information on schools and programs. Some of the information was not as up to date as it should be. I have been involved with distance education since last year and found that many of the schools I am familiar with were not up-dated in the book.

Reviewer: Tamara Vera from United States
This book is an excellent resource for someone who is looking to go to school but does not have the time or ability to attend a regular school. It gives you all the information you need about the schools to decide if they have the right program and criteria for you. It also gives you the information to contact the schools for more information. It is easy to use and has excellent index's that help you find what you want without having to read the entire book.
