The US government doesn't have degrees of accreditation. The standards and expectations are all the same. Regional accreditors pretend to be better for reasons of competition. Anyone who has taken courses from a wide variety of schools knows that difficulty has nothing to do with accreditation. I have a degree from NationsUniversity. I wouldn't do one now. They filled their courses full of meaningless busywork while gaining accreditation.

In what way? Too much reading? I read through their course info, and the impression I got was that most of the effort involved would be writing papers.
Would love to hear more info on your experiences.

One masters course had something like 25 - 250 word online posts on top of 3 exams and 2 papers. Despite it being almost free I went looking for other entertainment. I took online courses from a top 100 university and if I remember correctly it was something like 5 online posts and 2 papers - no exams.
