    Would you trust a college which uses infomercials to entice people to enroll as students? For example: Everest College. It seems desperate that they resort to infomercials.

    Are they even accredited colleges and are their course credits transferable?

    I have been so curious about all these little colleges popping up that seem to market to adults returning to college. I am sure they are half way decent, but seem less than the real thing.

    They could very well have an accreditation, but I'd much rather go with a school that has a reputation and an official name. University of......

    I wouldn't take them at their word. They really do seem to be trying too hard to sell you something. There's some truth to it, but I'd want to know more. Besides, I already have my degree, so I'd be looking at a Masters at this point, not a diploma or certification.
