"In 1982 (that's 21 years ago, folks), there was a short-lived version of Bear's Guide called "How to Earn an American University Degree Without going to Amnerica.

It was similar in format to the present Bear's Guide Books: 95% of the space devoted to schools with recognized accreditation, and about 5% devoted to unaccredited schools that were operating with proper licensing."
--John Bear--AED--May 6, 2003

I challenge anyone to count the schools in a typical Bear's Guide and find that 95% of the schools he discusses were accredited. Check the 2003 and count them. Check 1982 and see.  How about 1997?

By the way, if there were so few accredited schools back then, as he now says, how did he find enough accredited schools to fill up the early guide books? So he has lied twice. First the guide books have far more unaccredited schools than he mentions and if there were many accredited schools offering degrees, well, he lied again. And this, why would he have recommended unaccredited schools if he had so many accredited schools he could have listed? Hint: he was involved with CPU, IIAS, Fairfax, Greenwich, all unaccredited, and he wanted you to buy from him.

And how many of these accredited universities offered degrees by DL in comparison to 2007?
Many non traditional accredited universities such as National University didn't offer DL.
They offered evening classes and condensed classes in format of a class a month. RD has MBA from NU in CA.
So yes there were accredited schools but few DL options.
Some had weekend classes, others required residency during the summer etc.
Compare to 2007 its like day and night.
I think maybe a little bit more unbiased research may change your view.
The man did more good much more good and earned living out of it.
I applaud Dr. Bear for his work.
And the money I saved is doing well in my children's fund.
Bears guide helped me with my DL choices over the years.
This is my DL Truth

You haven't offered one bit of proof of anything you say, none. Where are your links, quotations, facts? You just give your opinions and say you have done this and that. You have not proved a single fact to back up what you are saying and claiming. You are confronting our facts and links with 'you don't believe it', that's too bad. Refute it with proof or you have nothing but your opinions.

If you can show that Charter Oak or Excelsior / Union / TESC didn't exist and offer accredited degrees via DL in the 70's do so, but as you probably know, they were in existence and did offer DL degrees.

Douglas earned three DL degrees in the 70's and 80's from Excelsior. You mean to tell me Bear didn't know what Douglas did. That Bear was selling degrees from his school (he was part owner) CPU at a time Douglas was working the system at Excelsior for three easy degrees.
