Most colleges and universities that have a distances learning program, are now online (through the Internet). In this way, you can work within your own time frame without having to attend classes on campus. However, when choosing a distance learning or online program of study, make sure the college or university has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, and institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, where they are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies
