What would you consider the top accredited DL programs for a master's degree (liberal arts/social sciences, not MBA)?
There are a lot of good programs in this area. A few that come to mind immediately are: California State University, Dominguez Hills Antioch University Excelsior College University of Oklahoma Vermont College John
I concur with John Wetch's selection. I would, however, divide the programs by model based on the amount of structure required (listed here alphabetically) . . . HIGHLY STRUCTURED PROGRAMS (Mostly required or "canned" courses, with some opportunity for student-designed studies): -------- California State University at Dominguez Hills (M.A. Humanities) Salve Regina University SUNY Empire State College Thomas Edison State College (M.P.S.) University of Oklahoma SEMI-STRUCTURED PROGRAMS (A few core courses, with more room for student-designed studies): -------- Excelsior College Skidmore College STUDENT-DESIGNED PROGRAMS (Maximum flexibility in terms of both design and methodology. Also geared more than the others toward social sciences and professional fields.): -------- Antioch University Goddard College Lesley University Prescott College Vermont College How would I rank them? Equally. [P.S. To those who asked in another thread, Levicoff is alive and well, and shall now return to working on a suntan. Buh-bye.]
Thanks for the great info. You've saved me a lot of time, and probably some blood, sweat and tears to boot! Laura
