Summary:

Distance learning dates all the way back to the 1800's when Cornell University professors travelled to rural areas on horseback to teach farmers the latest agricultural methods. Today, students can choose from an array of distance learning opportunities to make college come to them - the most rapidly emerging of which is the Internet.

"The Complete Book of Distance Learning Schools" gives students everything they need to pursue a degree without leaving home. In addition to complete informational profiles of more than 1,000 distance learning schools and programs, it offers introductory sections on how to find the program that's right for you, including:

- Distance learning admissions requirements

- Avoiding rip-offs and diploma mills

- Designing your own degree

- Qualifying for financial aid

- Choosing the right delievery method (online, video conferencing, television, etc.)
