Online Masters Program

Which online institution(s), universities, or online masters degree programs have you heard good references about? Please share your firsthand experiences with me, not third hand gossip. Thank you!
The masters I am pursuing will be in clinical psychology.

Much depends on what major you’re looking at. Stanford teaches engineering master’s online and you can’t beat that. Harvard has an IT master’s almost entirely online. Duke has an MBA online. Columbia does education master’s online. Oxford has International Human Rights Law master’s online. Some of the best colleges in the world are teaching their master’s degree either entirely or substantially online.

That’s the key. The best respected online programs are at the best respected colleges. The least respected are at the least respected colleges. In the middle, there are tons of colleges offering master’s degrees that are neither top of the line nor bottom of the barrel.

For example:
University of Massachusetts
University of Florida
Cal State – Dom. Hills and East Bay
Florida State University
SUNY
East Carolina U
Indiana State
Oregon State
U Alabama
U Texas
U Wyoming
Clemson University
Marshall University
West Virginia
Old Dominion
Pepperdine
U Illinois
U Maryland
U Michigan
U North Texas
Webster

there are 1000s of colleges teaching online these days and many offer complete master’s online.

My favorite search tool for finding online programs is at Petersons.com http://www.petersons.com/distancelearning/code/search.asp

You are not restricted to those "as seen on TV" online degrees. The best colleges in the world (and probably your own State U) are teaching online now.
