Site Info

Online School Search was created after my exhausting search for an online school. I first began in 2001. After deciding that there weren't enough degree options and the cost was too high, I focused my attention on my job. In 2005, I began attending a regular college and by 2009, I found that my learning style was best suited for something other than the "face-to-face" university. My goal is to provide resources for those of you considering online courses or a degree.

My College Update

I recently enrolled at Franklin University. I am taking the required introduction class PF321. This course is a 6 week tutorial on how to use tools for completing online courses. The class is also available as a 3 week course, but my registration was completed too late to enroll in the shorter class.

My textbooks arrived in 2 days!!
