    Well I received so much help before I though I would add a little info. I came across a web site that I thought could be really useful to some. I copied this from another web site:

    Both military and civilians can use the Dantes Catalog to search for legitimate, properly accredited colleges and universities that offer degrees via distance learning

    Oh and also, does anyone have any input on National University?
    I am interested in there CPA track program. I was just wondering if anyone had any prior knowledge or experience with them

    Thanks Again!

    One of the more prominent posters on this board, Dr. Richard C. Douglas, earned his MBA there. If he doesn't chime in quickly, you might PM him or email him. Looks like a pretty good school to me (but I've never been there myself).

    This is what I wrote a few days ago in another thread:

    I hold an MBA from National, earned in the classroom in 1985. (Twenty years ago!)

    National is the 2nd largest private university in California. (Or it used to be; I'm not sure if UoP has exceeded it with its California campuses.)

    National was a real innovator in the 1970's and 1980's, using computer systems to create unparalleled delivery schedules. They're a pioneer in the one-course-at-a-time method, with each academic course taking place in a one-month period.

    National, a not-for-profit university, got over-extended in the late 1980's, buying too much land. This made them both cash poor and reduced their financial flexibility. When they expanded to Las Vegas, WASC put them on probation. As a result, the founder and several other officers of the university were ousted, many learning centers were closed, and much land was sold off. (I believe they shed the law school, too.) The university survived--while not seeing a drop in enrollments!--and probation was promptly removed.

    Not much has changed in their academic approach, except for a huge implementation of online programs.

    At no time was National's academics put into question.

    Earning a degree from National is like earning a degree from any other accredited university most people have never heard of. I've put it to very good use over the past two decades.
