Reminds me of the movie Accepted from 2006. Justin Long, the guy from all the older Apple commercials played in it. I thought this statement was a bit untrue though: "Attorneys for ICE and the Department of Justice maintain that the students should have known it was not a legitimate university because it did not have classes in a physical location." There are online universities that are accredited as far as I know, but most of them are for-profit schools and heard some of their credits aren't transferable. Chances are if you watch television, you've seen commercials for some of them. Some of them will accept almost anyone though, no test scores just to get your student aid funding, such as your pell grant. I know also some were reported to aggressive target Veterans for their GI bill money. Not sure if people see these schools are legit, but probably teaching similar brick and mortar curriculum. Some of these schools also have brick and mortar campuses, offering fully online programs and some programs are a mix of online and in-classroom, for example, nursing schools. So some online schools for sure are doing shady things, but I wouldn't discredit a school only because it's online. However you should really do your research and look into the accreditation, job stats but even then those are useless as you could go to college for engineering but if you got a job after flipping burgers you count as getting a job even if not in your field, reviews, etc. Being able to not transfer credits would also be a turn off if other schools aren't willing to accept. I think online schools should be a option and hope they improve over time and flexible. Maybe you are a stay at home mom, so while you aren't helping your children you can be working on your degree. Maybe you got a degree already, and wanted to advance in your company. So you decide to go back to school and get your MBA so your organization will value you more, then in your spare time and weekends you could be earning your MBA. I was interviewing with a company that made software for set top boxes, she seen my Github and said she really liked me, and thought I had a lot of fire in me but said couldn't move any further because not having college. Plus I had a vision to reinvent TV, I shared about on blogs/social media. This was 2012, but a lot of those same ideas such as the Cloud DVR are incorporated into real products now. So some companies don't care about your skills 100%. Looked up the company, looks like last year they went bankrupt. Seems like they were mostly just contracting for cable companies. However, if you are a foreign student from India, I don't see why you'd need to come to the US when you can do the same programs online.
