In the beginning a University was a University; a huge massive building radiating knowledge, authority and honor even from a far away distance. Today we are more interested in the concept of University rather than a huge institution made of stone. What we learn as well as the way we learn it, is what really concern us. The ‘virtual’ university has appeared; more and more of the traditional Universities have gone online, and are now offering higher education and academic degrees this way.
The University of Phoenix is one of the institutions that has national recognition for its excellence in education on campus and online. This University was started early in the 1970s. They provide quality and accountably higher education for the adults. Their approach to the courses is fresh and new so that they deliver quality education. There are many programs that are offered in this university.

April 25th, 2010University Online Degrees – Join the High Ranks On Your Computer
December 13th, 2009Now there’s few words that I like more than consortium and portal; and that is just one of the exciting reasons why I’m getting all sorts of worked up for my university online degree. Are you thinking that I could engage in other activities that had some semblance of a connection with the words consortium and portal? I agree. But, I also want to get started on my career and don’t have the time to go to classes full time, because of my job.
The problem was that I have always been a little apprehensive of the programs that offered university online degrees. This is where my two favorite words come in. I can actually get my degree, online, by taking classes from major universities. Not simple institutions.
For example, If I used the Canadian Virtual University, or CVU, I have the option of taking classes from 13 established universities across Canada. There are several of these types of organizations, such as the Global University Alliance. This is a consortium of nine different major universities from the U.S., Britain, New Zealand, Australia, and the Netherlands. As you have probably gathered by now the Global University Alliance or CVU themselves have no classes to offer, but simply act as a portal for the major universities. This way your getting the benefits of a university online degree (classes at your own pace and convenience, yet still offering personalized attention), but also having the satisfaction that you’re not sacrificing a quality education.
