It's kind of a shame, because I was considering a masters degree program with them, I'm glad I didn't waste my money (even online universities are not cheap).
Where can I find information on which colleges are "acceptable" and which aren't. I'd hate to apply for a job, where I finished getting my degree through a university online, since I am an adult and have to actually work, and then it turns out it doesn't even count by their standards.

What if the school is a regular university, as in traditional, but, had an online degree program, and was enrolled in that? I guess what I'm asking, is that what if the school isn't known for its online program...it just happens to have one.
