    NEW! Free Guidebook to Criminal Justice and Legal Degrees Online
    CriminalJustice

    GetEducated has just released the first beta edition of a new free guidebook to online degree programs in the area of Law, Criminal Justice, and Legal Studies.

    Vicky Phillips, the company founder, assigned the new guidebook to the education editorial team in response to visitor's requests to the online degree clearinghouse. Criminal Justice leads the way as the primary major highlighted in the new guidebook.

    "Ironically, Diploma Mills advertise a good many degrees in the law and legal studies areas. Our newest guidebook is being released free to consumers so they can begin to ferret out the real schools and options for legal studies online."

    At present the American Bar Association (ABA) does not accredit online degree programs. This limits the acceptance of distance law degrees for the purpose of career prep as a trial laywer. However a number of online legal studies programs have been designed for those not wanting to practice trial law but wanting legal experience to assist in their management careers.

    The new guidebook profiles 27 options for online master's, doctorates, and special study certificates in areas such as health law. The free resource includes regionally accredited colleges as well as trade schools accredited by the Distance Education & Training Council. "A surprising number of CJ and legal studies degrees are available now in distance format from quality low-cost state university systems," comments Phillips. "We are pleased to offer this resource free to students worldwide who seek quality online legal ed at a reasonable price."

    The new guide includes bargain schools such as the University of Wisconsin PLatteville and University of North Carolina Pembroke. In October, GetEducated.com's editorial staff will be publishing the clearinghouse's first Top 10 Best Buys list among distance education legal studies degrees.
