To me what differentiated High Speed Universities from a plethora of other online schools was the regional accreditation, competency based programs and the how fast you can get the degree.

55 unemployed, no degree and no work
Three years ago, I lost my job. I had run out of work options because I had two years of accumulated college courses but no degree. So, I sought to return to college, which I'd attended in my youth. I could find part-time work and so attended community college got my associate degree and transferred to a university.
I'm now a senior in my senior year attending full-time year round. I have just started receiving a pension, but intend to go back to work. I am dyslexic and ADHD, which I did not understand when I attended college in my youth. I would find online courses incredibly difficult in a non-classroom setting - so they are not for everyone.
Upon graduation, I will be taking online courses for a Masters Degree. I hope to be working while attending grad school. Nonetheless it will be with a public institution because I know they will provide support for my different abilities so I can get the most out of my education. It would be my guess that such support won't be forthcoming from private schools.
Finally, I agree that online has value for those who are employed and employable. I was not and I am thankful to get a second chance to earn my three degrees. I intend to go back into the workforce for as long as possible
