Online colleges come into their own - PAUL TOSTO, Pioneer Press
Bernadette Harrell had two college degrees already when she set her sites on a career in psychology. That next step, though, required a doctorate, and the working 28-year-old from Roseville couldn't put her life on hold for a full-time return to campus. Harrell, though, found a way online, signing up with Walden University, a for-profit Internet college, after one of her old professors, a Walden graduate, suggested it. Ticking off her heavy course demands, Harrell says she's not concerned about how her online degree will stack up against a doctorate from a traditional institution. "So far," she said, "my experience has been awesome."
