Get a Career Boost--Try Online Education For most of us, Fall still creates stirrings about starting back to school and brings back happy memories. If you are too busy to take a course or two to brush up your skills, or want to pursue a different degree program, it's possible to do it onlinebefore work, on weekends or after the kids go to bed! Here are some places that make it easy. CASO INTERNET UNIVERSITY (http://www.caso.com/iu/courses.html). Cape Software uses their database software to index all the online college courses offered on the Internet (they claim) Their extensive listing currently contains about 2,500 different courses from 59 course providers. They also feature an index of categorized reference links that are study aids. THE UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX ONLINE (http://www.uophx.edu/online/). The University of Phoenix was the first to recognize that the Internet would change the way people work and to offer fully accredited college courses electronically. They offer several degree programs and the cost is about $135 per 8 hour block, including interaction with instructors and other students. Best of all, the courses are "given" any time of the day convenient to you! The State University System in California also has some excellent offerings.
