I have been associated with a couple of non-traditional universities and I
have received graduate degrees from both traditional and non-traditional
universities. The best and most comprehensive source for learning about
such universities (and assessing their validity) is in John Bear's book.
You can find out information about the book and other information at his
website:
http://www.degree.net The site includes:
**a complete list of state and provicial (and many foreign) higher education
regulating agencies;
**an essay on how to approach doing the British short-residency research
doctorate;
**"News and Gossip" from the world of degrees (including the latest on the
imminent demise of California's school regulating agency);
**A complete update to the 1997 edition of Bears' Guide (more than 100 new
schools and programs with distance learning degrees); and
**Sample pages from the book.
