Apparently I wasn't very clear either...
My undergrad school certainly had advertising!
I'm just worried about paying for classes and then ending up with a worthless diploma. When I google online courses, I seem to be getting the same 10 or so schools over and over. They are full of all kinds of pop-ups and advertisements. While my undergrad advertised, I certainly never got a pop up for a non-school related topic on their site. It makes me wary of their credibility.
I keep thinking there must be more out there, and I don't really know where to start looking. The "diploma-mill" idea, is something to be very nervous about, and that's why I wanted to see if anyone else had any insight into online programs. Like ajuhdg said, distance education is fairly new, and that's why I'm a little apprehensive.
