A word to the wise about distance learning... I'm an ex-pat teaching English in Asia. I started the Applied Linguistics Masters at University of Birmingham (UK) last year. It is fully accredited and accepted as a legitimate degree by many Ministries of Education throughout the world, even though it is by distance.
Lately, there have been many postings to the ex-pat community websites about pushback from all Uni's, especially private ones, that they aren't hiring anyone with a distance degree. With this in mind I am switching to Temple University Japan for a M.S. Ed.. It is a brick and mortar campus, and is accepted without question everywhere.
If you're thinking about a distance degree, find out how much of an asset it will be before you put your hard-earned money on the line!
