Excellent presentation of nontraditional higher education
With so much disinformation regarding nontraditional schools offering higher degrees, it's comforting to read a book based in both reality and calmness.No high sales pitch here, just good advice regarding a lot of good, nontraditional schools and programs.Highly recommended. ... Read more

At least I can use the pages to wipe my....
Well, this is probably the worst reference book ever.No lie.Let me start with the basics.The book is organized alphabetically, by school name, so you think the index would contain a cross reference of degrees offered.No such luck, the index simply has the school names, with their page number.Obviously I don't need this; if they're alphabetical I can guess where Baker College is.Maybe it comes after all the colleges starting with the letter A?
Next, the book does not offer any information or plans on obtaining your degree through distance education.It simply lists some of the courses each college offers.There are no listings anywhere for what degrees are available.So if College "X" offers bird watching, and College "Y" offers basket weaving, and you need to complete your bachelor's degree in health care administration, you'd better figure it out on your own.
Finally, the book has more errors than I thought were ever possible.I looked up five schools online, at their respective official web sites.None of them had a single course that was listed in the book.
I am stunned that the Princeton Review would put out such a massive crock of misinformation. ... Read more
