too good to be true?

I am not familiar with this particular program, but I do know that University of Phoenix offers an RN to BSN program that is accredited, so I assume others do as well. When I decide I am ready to do the school thing again, I am definitely going the way of the web because I am NOT going back to "school" again. There is not a school close to me now that offers a BSN program, and quite honestly, I went through such crap while at school that I have no desire to do it again. This way I can do it how I want to do it, not be required to be in class when the professors say I should.

I should also point out here that it also depends on your style of learning. If you need the classroom setting, than a web-based program may not be the best. I learn much better on my own and feel it is a good choice for me. Everyone is different though, so make sure it's the right choice for you! Good luck! :)

Never heard of it, but you are right to question it, many of these are really working with regents/excelsior, and are just setting you up with expensive study guides. Call them, but don't sign up for anything until they send you more literature. Then, you can e-mail or write to the agencies who accredited them and see it they are worth their salt. That's what I did, and now I forget the name of the org, but they e-mailed me a full text article about the school and program I was interested in. Good luck.
