Just watched a quick segment of 60 minutes (Nov 10- 8pm)where they talked about on line degrees...the scam one was hamilton U and richardson (bahamas)...although they claim to have accreditation, (both run by the same person--just switched locations)...one fed. computer tech. with fifteen + years, got taken for a ride to ph.d land! 
....just FYI....it's getting harder and harder to see who is legit on line and who isn't...unless (in my eyes) you know where the campus is and can talk to actual people...that does not take away from the legit on-line degrees, just saying to the younger folks out there..."if it sounds to good to be true....and will cost you a lot of 'change' it probably is too good to be true."

Someone asked me when will my studying be over......

And also, just because a school says they're accredited doesn't mean that their credits transfer to a traditional school. I think ITT Tech and other schools of that ilk are "accredited" by some agency, but good luck trying to get those credits to transfer to your local state college.
I'd also avoid the "for-profit" online schools as well (ITT, DeVry, UoP, etc.), but that's just me....
