Going Back To School Online


CNN's Gerri Willis interviewed Vicky Phillips on March 7, 2009, as part of a "Your Bottom Line" report about how online education can help recession-hit consumers find new or better jobs. Willis also highlighted some of GetEducated's features, including the Best Buy degree rankings and the Diploma Mill Police.

In addition, Willis recommended GetEducated to Larry King Live viewers on March 6:

"...It's going to be a while, at least a year, maybe longer, before the jobs market turns around. But for people like the fellow I was just describing, who have only a high school degree, you've got to get some more education. GetEducated.com can tell you about colleges that are offering online programs that are accredited, actually make sense, doesn't cost you a lot of money."
