Hi, I am looking for information from US users about the University of South Africa. Is it legitimate? Any problems? I was hoping to get my Master's but it appears that you have to get a Honor's and before that a Bachelor's from them. Is that true? I appreciate any help. Also, what about Warnborough U from the UK. I have read reviews - both sides - A scam / not a scam. Thanks. Bobbi
UNISA degree I earned my D.Ed. from UNISA, and it was a marvelous learning experience. I already held a Ph.D. from a major US state university, but my qualitative study done under the guidance of two UNISA profs was probably more rigorous than my "traditional" doctoral degree. I was highly motivated, and had a fairly clear idea of my intended research area. But I was well served through UNISA. Cost was about $1900. including fees... an unbeatable value. Gabe
infinit1, I am slowly working towards a UNISA BA. Next month, I will be taking the exams for my third and fourth modules. I have not experienced any problems. The thread below is a running chronicle of my UNISA classes. http://forums.degreeinfo.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7223&highlight=off+to+pretoria
Thanks Charles, I read through your thread and that also helped. UNISA looks like the real thing. Some of the terminology they use has caused me to pause ie. 'papers' I thought at first they meant writing a paper. I gather it is their way of saying take an exam. The exam site was another concern of mine. Do you know if they will allow you to use Sylvan?

Bobbi, I don't think so, but you would have to ask UNISA to know for sure. https://sol.unisa.ac.za/exams/ What are you interested in studying?
I'm now in the 2nd year of a DLitt et Phil program at UNISA. I'm enjoying the program. The faculty is excellent. I have not had any problems with UNISA to date. If you need specific answers to your questions, feel free to contact UNISA's U.S. and Canadian representative - Dr. Michael Esselen http://www.iaci-canada.com/
