The Online Degree Dorm Room

Get an online degree in just one year?

So, is it really possible to get a degree online in just one year?

Well, normally I would say “no way”. In fact, if you see websites or ads promising such a thing, then you should probably RUN - not walk - the other way.

However, something as come along that caught my attention and so I decided to let you know about it.

I found out about a program being promoted by educational expert Professor Sheila Danzig. The good doctor is promising to help any American student that doesn’t mind hard work to earn a degree online or at home in less than a year.

Skeptical?

You bet I was.

BUT… Danzig’s program is very different here.

How? Well first of all, at her website, www.thecareerpeople.com, she offers students an opportunity to earn a legitimate degree from a regionally accredited university in the United States.

Again, most claims like this have a phase called “credit for life experience” or something like that. Which is a big red flag that you’re starring a diploma mill square in the face.

But this program doesn’t offer credit for life experience. What this program will do is show you how to earn college credit for college-level work that you have have done over the years outside a college classroom.

Most folks do know it, but there are many different types of learning that can qualify for college credit. For example, are you certified by Microsoft? Well, certification classes can be converted to college credits. Are you fluent in a foreign language? That can earn you up to nine semester credit hours.

Now I know what you’re thinking. This program is just how to test out of everything, right?

Nope.

This program is for anyone who wants to earn a degree online by taking courses or exams at home. Professor Danzig offers an electronic guide and free online consultation on her website that she says will enable anyone who follows the program to earn a degree online at an accredited university in the United States within one year.

So, how can you be sure it will work for you?

I can’t give you that answer - you’ll have to check it out for yourself and make sure. However, I can tell you that Doctor Danzig stands behind her program’s claim with a triple guarantee. She guarantees that anyone who follows her program exactly and does not earn an accredited college degree within one year will be refunded triple the cost of the program. That’s a pretty bold guarantee to make her bold claim.
