Myth - You cannot receive a proper education through self-study or online courses.
There's this guy online who says that you receive a degree and not an education through online schooling. He believes the actual education comes from working with professors in person. Of course, there were a couple of times I had to "educate" him on issues of higher education such as accreditation. And, of course, I'm not educated because I took all of my undergraduate and masters courses online.
Myth - Expensive, for-profit colleges are the only option for those who have to work full-time, have children to care for, and/or can't leave the house a lot due to a disability.
Myth - I need a criminal justice degree to become a cop.
Myth - Employers can always tell when you've taken courses or earned a degree online.
Myth - Online courses are always more expensive than ground courses.
Myth - Cheating is more common among online students.
Myth - Online courses won't transfer.
Myth - All for-profit colleges are diploma mills.
A school that is accredited cannot be a diploma mill according to the definition given by the federal government.
Myth - Credits from for-profit colleges won't transfer.
If the school is regionally accredited, there is a high likelihood the credits will transfer.
Myth - University of Penis, Deprive University, and the other big for-profits are either unaccredited or not regionally accredited.
