    I need to find two online American Literature classes. I am scheduled to graduate in the fall and the literature classes I need to graduate are not being offered. I wanted to see if anyone could offer any suggestions to pick up these two core courses.

    Thanks

    Southwest Texas State University has some self-pacedcorrespondence courses that should work for you. They're very inexpensive ($214 for a 3 credit course), and you can complete them on your own schedule. Plus, the people in the correspondence office are very nice. :)

    If I may, I'd like to pile on a bit. You could also check out the University of Houston and the University of Maryland. Both of these schools have BA programs in English Literature (through DL, of course). Good luck,

    The University of Maryland (www.umd.edu) does not offer English Degrees by DL. You are thinking perhaps of UMUC (www.umuc.edu) which is a separate school.

    If you've checked into it then you are undoubtedly correct. I was simply quoting from BG14. Thanks,

    easy mistake

    It is an easy mistake. Until 1971, UMUC was part of the University of Maryland at College Park as their Open Enrollment or Extension division if you will. They were designated a separate university, accredited differently and moved to Adelphi MD (Only about .5 miles from College Park). While offering many quality programs, UMUC is a separate school from UMD and buyers should be aware that employers and grad schools are aware of the difference. That said, this is not to say grad schools do not look favorably on UMUC--they do. Only that it is different from UMD.

    Consider BYU

    Several years ago I took most of a statistics class from BYU Extension. I was very impressed with the ease of enrollment and instant feedback on the quizes via a system they call "speedback" if I remember correctly. They have a bunch of open enrollment classes which should meet your needs. For example:
    http://ce.byu.edu/is/site/catalog/descript/univ/engl362.dhtm

    Cost is reasonable also: about $318 for 3 upper division credits.

    Hope this helps,

    Phil
