GetEducated.com | Rate, Rank & Compare Online Colleges & Degrees

GetEducated.com is a consumer watchdog and advocacy group that rates, ranks, and verifies the cost, quality and credibility of online colleges and universities.

Our Mission: Educate ~ Advocate ~ Protect

Founded in 1989 by Vicky Phillips, a psychologist and educator, GetEducated.com—in partnership with America Online and the Electronic University Network—developed America’s very first online counseling center for adult distance learners.

Today, GetEducated.com remains the only consumer advocacy group in the United States dedicated exclusively to assisting online students in analyzing, comparing, rating, and ranking online colleges and universities.
GetEducated.com also serves to protect distance learners from the dark world of online education fraud through innovative free services, such as The Diploma Mill Police, a database that chronicles consumer alerts on more than 300 fake online colleges and university scams.

Unlike other ”online degree directories,” GetEducated.com is staffed by higher education experts who evaluate, screen, filter, and analyze each and every college and school that applies to our online education directory for a free listing.
In an effort to protect consumers, GetEducated is the only online degree directory that offers free basic listings to CHEA-accredited colleges and universities … and the only online college directory that bars advertising from fake Internet universities.
