The Internet offers an A+ education that will not break the bank!

WWW.Free-ed.net (http://WWW.Free-ed.net)

Free-ed.net works like a portal: It has a complete list of online educational opportunities. Find courses, tutorials, and study guides on subjects ranging anywhere from the humanities to the medical sciences.

These courses are great as a basis for a degree, to enhance your current knowledge, or develop a well-rounded understanding of a new topic. There is a small fee for some of the courses.

This is the place to go if you're looking for a technical education. For $99 you can have access to over 300 IT training courses per year. Take advantage of the free tutorials to get a jump-start on your training.

I've been thinking of taking some classes on-line to finish my degree. Any suggestions on the best schools? I've looked at Phoenix online and some others, but haven't settled on any yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cowboy:

I know of two members of this forum who are taking college courses online. I will ask them if they can share some of their thoughts and experience on this issue. It is important that online universities are accredited. The University of Phoenix online has a good reputation and it is not a "diploma mill."

Check with your local Department of Rehabilitation or Vocational Rehabilitation and see if they will help with any of your expenses e.g. computer, software, tuition, textbooks, transportation.

Perhaps, we will hear from other members who have some information on returning to college or online universities.

Cowboy,

I am currently working on my Master's degree through Dakota State University (http://www.dsu.edu). I received my bachelor of science in Information Systems through the school pre-SCI, and I have since been taking all of my classes online for my Master's degree.

They have a great program, and they are very accomodating. If you email myself or PN, we can set you up with a link so you can view an online lecture.

I will have to do some looking as far as undergrad classes, as I'm not sure of course or degree offerings.
