Hello Miriam
Yes, there are colleges/universities that offer degree programs via the internet. I have a site set up to address this isue. http://members.tripod.com/~lepine/ There are links to Petersons Guide, Caso, GNA, The Open University, Lifetime Learning and many, many others. I would also recomend that you go to the library and find the Bear Guide to Nontraditional Education by Dr. John B. Bear or Campus free college degrees by Marcy Thorson. These books are great tools to learn the ins and outs of distance learning. Thes books can also be purchased through my online bookstore. (see below) If you, or any member of the group, needs additional guidence please feel free to email me at lepine@ibm.net.

The University of Phoenix is one of the oldest and largest institutions to offer degrees via the internet, based on the programs they offer on campuses in 45 cities around the country. I don't know their total enrollment (38,000?) but I understand they are now the largest private university in the United States. The Online Campus degrees are offered in business, management and technology fields rather than liberal art. At any rate, their website is

Yes there are a number of colleges and universities offering degree programs on the WWW. The URL's are included below. You might also be interested in looking at a very comprehensive book--almost 500 accredited institutions are included--that I've co-authored on degree programs for adults. It was published this year and provides up-to-date information about degree programs using the computer and a variety of other delivery methods. You can read more about this at the publisher's site www.jist.com.

Also feel free to contact me with any other questions you might have.

Subject: RE: distance learning references
Message-ID:

I have just volunteered to be on our system's distance learning subcommittee, to investigate how we can go about encouraging and implementing more distance learning opportunities within our 12-college system. I've already got a good basic technical understanding of the Internet but I would like more information about some of the video/satellite/tele-teaching aspects of distance learning, as well as specific Internet software geared toward distance learning initiatives, such as that enabling professors to develop chat groups through their web sites, etc.

I'm assuming that any books on this subject would probably be out of date before they even hit the shelves, so I'm wondering whether anyone can recommend some good on-line technical resources that I might check out.

You can respond to me directly at tobi@commnet.edu. If anyone expresses interest, I'll assemble the resources I get from responses and then post it as a whole to the list, to save everyone from seeing two million little "distance learning references" messages for the next two weeks.

Thanks in advance for your help and knowledge.
