Keiser University eCampus Academics:

Keiser University's eCampus caters to students hoping to quickly parlay their degrees into better positions in the workforce. Nearly two-dozen associate and bachelor's options, plus three graduate degrees, are available online. They're aimed at fields that are often in high demand such as computers, business and health care. While the school bills itself as "Florida's statewide career university" -- it generates an annual $542 million impact on Florida's economy, according to a report -- it's reaching out to more and more distance learners. It has an online career site where students can access job postings, a schedule of job fairs and resume tips. A degree can take as little as 18 to 24 months for an associate and 41 months for a bachelor's, the school says. Assignments, lectures and schedules are posted on the web, and real-time chats are also part of the curriculum. Coursework focuses on real-world application whenever possible.
