According to the 2012 edition of The BestWorst Online Degree Program Providers, 100 accredited online college providers are
marginal at best. They offer little academic rigor and virtually no chance of
transfer to a top tier university for an advanced degree.
Each of these
marginal online schools offer degree programs rated a number One (1) on a One (1) to Five (5) rating scale. Top rated schools can achieve the highest rating of number Five (5).
Almost 25% of the almost 400 schools currently rated and ranked are found in
the poorest category.
st list has grown over the years. Marginal online programs
of universities attract many non-traditional students returning to school and in
a hurry for a degree. They throw caution to the wind and will opt to take what
they think is the easy road. They want to achieve satisfaction but insist on a school that seems both easy and “accredited”.
Most
number (1) schools are really academically poor. In addition to their rating,
they have one other thing in common and that is a marginal and poorly trained faculty. Online
faculty, according to top online schools, should be every bit as good as
traditional faculty lecturing in a classroom and carry equal or better credentials. It appears the
current crop of online marginal colleges is just throwing together faculty and
degree programs left and right. The motive, it seems clear to critics, is to keep up and get in on
the cash bonanza bandwagon they perceive is ahead.
The biggest marginalized players
in the Online Degree provider game are those universities that really
stand out. Students dedicated to getting a college education who have investigated the scene know exactly who they are and avoid them. One of the sad commentaries about the marginal schools is
that many potential learners are in a hurry for a degree and throw caution to
the wind. They do not investigate and fall victim to false promises of success and job success. They will opt to take what they think is the easy road to achieve
their education goal.
Questionable colleges are lying in wait
and laying the trap for unsuspecting students that cannot see whether the target
institution is or is not a degree mill or a quality online provider. Often, by the time an
unsuspecting learner has caught on to the scam being blinded by the promise of a quick and easy road to an accredited degree, it’s too late.
The BestWorst Online Degree Program Providers is published with new updates annually. The eBook is a free download from several online sources. It
weighs ratings heavily on the quality and experience of each university’s teaching faculty.

Quality is certainly a concern in online education, and higher education in general. But I really do think the entire industry has turned a corner, not just with technology, but with students' and teachers' ability to use it. An accredited college should be judged just like any other college, in the quality of its graduates and the prospects they have upon graduation. I really do think that online education is the future of learning, not just in the US but in the world.
