     In the December issue of Newsbits, there is an interview with 
Charles Jackson, who describes how online degrees can be received 
via the modem from the University of Phoenix.  Very basically, the 
course assignments, handouts, and so on are transferred via a bulletin 
board system located in San Francisco, but there are no real-time 
conferences, both for reasons of practacality and expense.

     Two different masters degrees are currently being offered, as 
well as the ability to complete a bachelors degree if certain prior 
requirements have been met, and for more information, you can contact 
Charles voice at 1-800-388-5463.  Also, the University of Phoenix 
online catalog is available from BlinkLink via file request or 
downloading under the name UOP-CAT.ZIP.

     Oh yeah, just in case your speech program didn't read that to 
you correctly, it was U O P dash C A T point Z I P, got it?
 
       Now, where'd I put my bookbag?
