Hello, Please can someone assist me with this problem I am having.

I wish to do a Post graduate certificate/ Diploma in Education or Psychology at a University in S.Korea, however I cant seem to find any that not only offer such courses in English, but also offer them via Distance Learning A.K.A correspondence or Cyber) internet based studies...

If anyone has any information on related instances please can you let me know.

Also if there are none, are there any accredited and Internationally accepted online ,distance Universities elsewhere in the world that allow for people in Korea to study these above mentioned fields?

Thank you for your assistance

Maybe Korea has distance learning online programs in English, but I highly doubt it. What country are you from? There are so many accredited distance learning programs in the U.S., and the prices are very managable. A lot of colleges are trying to reach students that don't have time to come to campus, which means that you have a lot of options, as far as U.S. schools go.

Thank you for responding. I have done a great deal of research on the matter and it indeed seems that America would be the only way to go. Im originally from South Africa but now am working in South Korea and wish to continue with my post graduate studies.

I'm unsure as well which USA universities for online studies are in fact legit as they say and worth the same qualification as a typical on campus one...

Also a major problem I am having with USA universities is that although they offer distance study, they restrict admittance to only USA citizens or people in fact living in the USA or Canada. I have yet to find a distance university that allows people in South Korea to partake in the programs offered.

Please if you know of any accredited university that allows 'International' students I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again

As far as legitimacy, if they are well known schools with classes on campus, then you should feel pretty safe. If you go to webites, like http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/national-universities-rankings, you can research the online programs offered.

You'll have to do the research yourself, but I'm sure that there will be a U.S. online program available to you while you're working in Korea. Here are a couple of progams that I know of, but I'm not sure if they fit your situation. Good Luck
