How do I know if a distance learning university is reputable?
One of the most foolproof ways of finding out if a distance learning school is reputable is to check for its accreditation. All good distance learning universities are accredited by a recognized accrediting agency. An accreditation means that the education imparted at the university adheres to the quality standards set by the accrediting agency. If the agency finds the education to be below par, the university risks losing its accreditation. For example, Independence University is a reputed distance learning university offering distance education programs for over 30 years. The university is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).
