Anyone know of any? I have an AS degree and am about to finish my BFA or
BA in Graphic Design/Illustration/or even fine arts. I can't locate any
programs out there that have DL degrees... accredited ones that is.

A few possibilities that come to mind:

- California State University, Dominguez Hills MA/Humanities (Art).
Cheap, regionally accredited, and allows a creative project in
lieu of a thesis. (http://www.csudh.edu/hux)
- Numerous MFA/Writing programs, including Goddard (http://www.goddard.edu),
Antioch (http://www.antioch.edu), and Hamline
(http://www.hamline.edu). All three listed here are regionally
accredited, and there are more where those came from.
- Edith Cowan University (http://www.ecu.edu.au) has allegedly marvelous
graduate-level programs in fine art available to nonresident students.
Meets generally accepted accrediting practices via Act of Parliament.

Good luck!

Eric, I'm not sure if you mean grad courses or what? This may sound
hokey, but it is true. You know the Famous Artist School? Yeah, the one
on the matchboxes. Anyway, those courses are evaluated by the American
Council on Education. Charter Oak State College awards up to eight
hours undegrad for these.

Famous Artists School - Westport, CT
Drawing and Painting I 2 credits
Drawing and Painting II 2 credits
Commercial Art, Illustration and Design I 2 credits
Commercial Art, Illustration and Design II 2 credits

If you don't believe me, check it out.

Charter Oak is the External Degree School for the State of Connecticut.
They are regionally accreditted by the New England Association of
Colleges and Schools. Why don't you contact COSC at in...@mail.cosc.edu
and see if they can't work something out between you and your school.
Hell, it might work. I've heard stranger things, and those Charter Oak
people are the greatest.

Didn't the Famous Schools (there were Famous Artists, Famous Writers, and
Famous Photographers as I recall) go under about 25 years ago?

Just curious...

I understand. Charter Oak offers a BA in Applied Arts, Liberal Studies and a
FA through the Individualized Studies Program.

PS - If your credit is recent, you might want to check out this school too.

There is also Art Instruction Schools out of Minneapolis, MN. They offer
DL courses in the "Fundamentals of Art" which have been evaluated by the
American Council on Education College Credit Recommendation Service (or,
ACE-CCRS) for up-to 24 lower level undergradate semester credits.
This, (what I would call very inexpensive, at around $1,700) art program
is self paced and the college credits earned via this program can be
transfered Regent College or one of many other RA institutions that
accept ACE-CCRS evaluated credits.

Call the Art School at (612) 339-6656, or Regents at (518)464-8500.
Check it out!

Be Great,

Curt

Curt, Sounds like another good possibility. Do they have a URL?
