Obtaining degrees online is becoming increasingly popular, however, with this rise in popularity also comes a rise in false or scam online degree programs.

Seeking out online programs affiliated with well known schoolsSeeking out online programs which require completion of assignments and participation in lecturesSeeking out online programs which require application for acceptance into the programAvoiding online programs which charge a fixed rate to obtain a degree as opposed to a rate based on the number of credit hours takenAvoiding online programs which award degrees without completion of courseworkAvoiding online programs which are not associated with an accredited school
