Christian online schools are growing fast. In fact, two Christian universities — Liberty University and Grand Canyon University — are among the 10 largest universities in online-only enrollment.
But before you take a leap of faith online — or turn up your nose at the very idea of an online degree from a Christian or faith-based college — you need to understand that there are two very different kinds of online Christian universities. One — or neither — may be right for you. |

 Accredited online law schools are inching closer to becoming a reality as the American Bar Association (ABA) considers relaxing regulations that have prevented entire JD degrees from being offered online by any of its member schools.
ABA is debating new rules that will allow its accredited residential law school members to offer more online courses as a part of the JD degree.
Although the ABA is not expected to fully approve online law schools in the near future, momentum is building for increased acceptance of online courses in the curriculum of ABA-approved residential law schools. |

Becoming an online teacher must be much easier than managing a traditional classroom, right?
You may be surprised.
In my experience, many new online instructors are unprepared for the amount of work involved in becoming an online teacher. Online faculty must be ready to face many issues and all manner of student complaints. Among them: poor college readiness; students' personal crises; and the complex management of the online classroom process. Knowing how to handle all these issues, and many more, is critical to learning how to effectively manage an online classroom while staying sane!
Read on for a trained-in-the-trenches view from an experienced online teacher.

Higher Education officials at Bishop State Community College in Mobile, Alabama are under investigation for securing top positions using fake degrees they earned online from two rumored degree mills: Lacrosse University and San Francisco Technical University.
An online report published by the Alabama Press-Register details how James Lowe, appointed president of Bishop State in 2008, earned his doctorate life experience degree from San Francisco Technical University, an unaccredited online college that no longer exists.

 You’re interested in becoming a project manager – a career that’s held up well during the recession, with six-figure average salaries.
To enter this field, should you pursue a master’s in project management online? What about an MBA with an emphasis in project management or just a plain online management master’s?
Bill Haskins, director of the online master’s in project management programs at the University of Wisconsin at Platteville, believes a degree in project management can really help an applicant grab an employer’s eye.
“There are many, many hundreds of online MBA programs out there – degrees recognized in the business community, almost to the point where it doesn’t really get the employer’s attention any more,” he says.
“The project management degree sets the applicant apart from the rest of the pack. That’s important…You need something that will bring you to the top.”
