The dreadful actions of some terrible for-profit companies have given America’s online education sector something of a bad name. That’s a shame because online education is a viable way to obtain worthy academic credentials from very real schools.

Quality online degree programs are available at ultra-prestigious colleges and — for the rest of us — at public and nonprofit schools which often offer tremendously inexpensive tuition prices.
