If you've spent any time searching for distance learning programs, no doubt you've discovered there are numerous web directories available to help you in your search. In fact, you may, at this point, be slightly overwhelmed by the choices available to you.
Something that may help in narrowing your options is a consideration of quality over quantity. In this, our site can help.
My Higher Ed Online differs from other directories in that it was designed and created by public educators and professionals in the field of distance learning, many of whom have spent years teaching and designing courses online. Most of us have had experience as online students, too, so we understand the importance of making the most informed choice possible when it comes to a significant investment like your education. And the most informed choice means the best choice.
Also, this site differs from other web directories in that it searches only public institutions of higher learning. The majority of web directories for online schools, courses, and degrees include for-profit institutions who charge exorbitant fees for courses often recognized as poor in content and quality of instruction.
Finally, all public institutions listed in our directory are included for free. No school has paid for representation at this site, so you, the student, can rest assured you're accessing the most comprehensive directory of public institutions available on the web.
