Get Educated Management Team - Vicky Phillips

 

Online Education Analyst


Vicky Phillips, cited by US News & World Report in 2009 as "for 20 years the leading consumer advocate for online college students," has been researching online colleges since 1989, when she designed America’s first online counseling center for distance learners on America Online. In 1998, she authored the first print guide to online master’s degrees: The Princeton Review's Best Distance Learning Graduate Schools. In 2000 she authored Never Too Late to Learn: the Adult Student's Guide to College. Today, she serves as Chief Online Education Analyst, helping develop the Get Educated best online colleges ranking and review system—a system that helps consumers compare and self-rank more than 3,000 online degrees on dimensions ranging from affordability to public reputation and student satisfaction. Her classic articles on online education’s impact on higher education have appeared in Salon.com, CNN/The Industry Standard, and Nation’s Business, among other media. Her ideas have helped define online learning as a viable option for a new generation of “older” adult college students—many of whom will only study online. Her expert insights and advice to consumers on how to choose the best online colleges and degrees have been chronicled in the Wall Street Journal, Time, Fortune, CBS, Forbes, and The New York Times, among other media. In 2009, Joyce Lain Kennedy, nationally syndicated career columnist, cited Phillips as "one of the nation's leading experts on educational fraud" for her role as founding director of the Diploma Mill Police ®.
