Book Description
Bears’ Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning 15th Edition by John Bear, Ph.D., and Mariah Bear, M.A.
After 25 years this classic best-seller is still the resource for anyone looking to earn a degree in a nontraditional way. Since the last edition of BEARS’ GUIDE, the Internet has spawned hundreds of new distance-learning programs, both legitimate and phony. The 15th edition lists them all, expanding its coverage to over 3,000 schools. An improved subject index makes it even easier to identify which schools offer programs in desired fields. And for the first time, the Bears include an acceptability rating for every school’s degree, based on their extensive survey of college registrars and admissions officers. The best book on nontraditional education keeps getting better.
