Distance Learning Courses

<p>I posted some info under the American School thread. When we looked into BYU they seemed to have everything, except for a high school diploma. After beating around the bushes-- 3 emails back and forth they finally admitted they don’t have a diploma program. They weren’t very open about that, and so I never bought anything from them. I have since heard problems about errors in the programs, etc. The prices are reasonable but dealing with a teenager who is frustated because of errors in the programs is definitely a hassle. For the cheapest university HS classes --LSU (Louisiana) for courses, but they don’t have a diploma program either. As we ended up with Indiana U. HS, they are very willing to accept other courses, and we used Univ. of Misssouri, as well as the local public HS. They also offer distance education for university credit or dual credit. One point to make is that the books are older, so are significantly cheaper than going to a local community or regular college. The courses are generally very well edited, and you will not have as many errors,or ambiguities, and if you do, the instructor is just a phone call or email away. I also wanted a program where you could find the books yourself, and didn’t have to get them with the course necessarily. Actually I like the availablity of courses, North Dakota has a small pet care, chemistry, they did have Norwegian, and next she will move onto the horticulture, and some of the art classes. They will have a Calculus class coming, and then we’ll go back to Indiana for college courses in math. I’m taking a college course in accounting through Texas Tech, but you know for $400 I was disappointed the course came in an envelope and everything is all crinkled!!! U. of Oklahoma has HS European History, Chinese, and Greek at the college level. U. on Nevada seems to excell in languages for Distance Ed. Missouri goes to year 3 of French. LSU has Civil War Literature, you know, it sure seems fun to be able to take advantage of the strengths of the different colleges due to their geography!!! Hope this helps.</p>
