Upper Iowa is another one of those private 4-yr colleges that was dying on the vine until it discovered online education. There are also campuses in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, & Canada + several US states. Yes, it's "real" in the sense that there are still buildings and a campus in Fayette. It's but one of a long list of such "colleges": See this for more: http://www.jobprofiles.org/schools.htm

Question: Upper Iowa University. Located in Iowa, but also offers online degrees and an external degree program.?

I live in Wisconsin and the classes are offered at another college in my town. Anyone heard of this? anyone went here?

A hybrid program sounds interesting and may create a larger networking basis. There are many “traditional” universities offering online degree programs and distance education. I mention these separately because even thought the terms tend to be used interchangeably, distance education encompasses correspondence, local campuses, hybrid, as well as online programs. It is just a matter of finding a program that meets your career goals, an institution of higher education that is accredited, and the mix the fits your life. Greatest luck with your search.

Question: Has anyone gone to Upper Iowa University?

Please tell me anything good/bad, likes/dislikes. Even if you have not gone here, heard anything about it?
