Online School Choices

Online learning is a popular method to obtain higher education. My son is looking into an online school because it will allow him to go to school without having the expense of living away from home. It also lets students with jobs or families continue to meet their obligations while getting a better education. The following list of top ten online universities provides a look into the prestigious schools that offer quality education online. So I looked around a bit and made my own list of choices:

DeVry University combines a well-known name with a strong curriculum to place in the highest position of the list. Traditionally a technical school, DeVry has its roots in electronics and software skills, but has expanded to include business MBAs, health, education, social science and criminal justice programs.
