There is little I can add to the 100% raves about AU online with nary a speck of doubt. How rare is that?
However, if I may, I�d like to explain why I am so impressed with the online experience.
I was invited by 2 New York profs to come from England for undergrad study at CCNY, NYU or Columbia. Looking at the fees, I chose the totally free CCNY, before its current open admissions. Yes, a mistake, but I didn�t know that I would later receive an open scholarship. CCNY was a brain factory, everyone trudging head down in sombre clothes and slide rules in their pockets (see how old I am?). Took a semester off to tour the country for a more comfortable univ. Saw maybe 2 dozen. Harvard: huge lecture halls with the prof just a dot in the distance; Miami: fun and parties; Rice: gorgeous but too rich and typical bible belt frats and sports; Berkeley: another monster lecture setup but was shut down by the Free Speech revolution, so I moved down to UCSD and loved its then tiny ambiance.
Finally, AU online. It is the only way to study and focus. No distractions, only you and the profs and your cyber colleagues. The mood is work, and results. No clubs, no gossip, no falling in love (until the residentials, and even then everyone is preoccupied with assignments).
During the AU process, you are struck by the intense and genuine support and concern for each other, not in spoken words that blow away in the campus wind, but there forever, written in the posts, for you to reread, and feel uplifted and more determined.
There is a pleasant and real-world instructive blend of English levels, enhanced by global personalities and cultures, and huge respect for the NNS members.
When you graduate from AU, you will know you have earned your degree, and will possess a deep feeling of true accomplishment and confidence in your new expertise.
You will have studied with a world of students, and be ready to work in any country. Everything you teach will evoke proud and grateful memories of AU and their unequalled faculty and support staff.
Now the raves have reached 200%.

The only problem with AU, however wonderful a university it might be, is that it is only nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). Many employers and universities will only recognize regionally accredited universities.
