Seldom does the discussion of DL opportunities extend to Skidmore College. But even when it has here, I wonder if its less heralded competition in an even more venerable institution ought to be mentioned--Trinity College, Hartford. www.trincoll.edu Admittedly, they eschew popular standardized exams, but instead offer contact with first-rate faculty through the Individualized Degree Program for Adults. Here's how: "You may take courses through independent study or in the classroom or by a combination of those two methods; You choose your pace of study - full-time or part-time - and you have up to ten years to complete degree requirements; You may receive transfer credit for other liberal arts courses taken previously at other colleges. Perhaps best of all, Trinity's IDP offers a first-rate education at an affordable cost - tuition fees are substantially lower for IDP students." http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/idp/ Thus, the best of the new in education is combined with the best of old traditions. Apart from the distance and inconvenience involved, what's not to like? --Orson
