I have been researching online degree programs for more than 2 weeks. Thanks to Rip Off Report.com I have been alerted to PCDI, Ashworth College, University of Phoenix and American InterContinental University as being scams or, at the very least, unethical in their practices. I was in the process of enrolling with AIU when I found the rip off website. Fortunately, I had not completed the financial aid process. I had several red flags and the rip off report was the clincher. I now know that had I completed the financial aid, I would have been a lost cause! I have an associate degree (brick and mortar, not online) and work full time. I do not have the opportunity to attend a traditional campus college at this time. I am only trying to improve my quality of life and I am sickened by the number of "colleges" that are preying on hard-working people! Please, if anyone knows of a distance education that is worth the time and money and will actually be accepted by an employer, let me know.
