"Brad Voeller opened the door to alternative college methods with his book, Accelerated Distance Learning, but many students have found it overwhelming to perform the additional research and logistical details necessary to make their degree from home a reality. Now the research is done for you! Students and families are assigned a Godly personal coach to guide them in making a plan, choosing a college, knowing what courses and exams to take, recommending study material, developing leadership skills, and keeping them accountable as they pursue their degree from home.

Jeff Myers, Ph.D., President of the Myers Institute for Communication and Leadership and Founder of the Summit at Bryan College

"Global Learning Strategies has changed how we do higher education in America. This is bad news for radical professors and warped social engineers, but good news for families."

Andrew Pudewa, Director of the Institute for Excellence in Writing

"Many homeschool families are facing decisions about college, and may have questions like, "Where will my teenager attend?", "How will we pay for it?", "How will my child deal with the negative influences at college?" As a father of teens, these are issues I've had to address myself, so I write to you today to recommend an outstanding seminar, which addresses these topics."

"If you have high school students preparing for college, you might want to learn how to save thousands of dollars in college tuition. Perhaps you would like to shorten the path to a Bachelor's degree by two or more years, or assist your children in completing a degree from home. As I travel around the country teaching writing, I come across many interesting and helpful ministries, but one of the most helpful I've found is that of Global Learning Strategies. Their book, Accelerated Distance Learning by Brad Voeller, is a useful and informative resource on the topics of college education methods and college-level learning techniques. I sell it, and recommend it to parents of college-age students everywhere I go."

“Accelerated Distance learning advocate Bradley Voeller makes it clearer than ever before how to get an entire college degree at home. This information will be helpful even if you fully intend to attend a campus-based school, because now you’ll know how to fill in missing courses, how to get more credit for what you already know, and where to find the tools to learn it all much faster.”

 

David and Laurie Callihan, Home school leaders

We met Brad Voeller, the author of the new book Accelerated Distance Learning at the New Jersey state home-schooling convention in 2001. We are really excited about this book, because it gives practical strategies for completing college work in an unconventional way, saving time, money, and the agony of enduring unbiblical world views and the negative social experiences of most colleges. We would suggest that parents of children in junior and above get a copy of this book now. It will broaden the possibilities of your secondary home school years and beyond.

 

Cathy Duffy, Home school leader

Brad Voeller takes two hot ideas—getting through college quickly and paying a fraction of the typical cost of college—then puts them together in Accelerated Distance Learning. Home schoolers have figured out that distance learning makes sense through books such as Bears' Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning. They’ve also figured out that students can start on college at younger ages, sometimes graduating from college about the same time age-mates are graduating from high school. To these strategies, Voeller has added the element of “acceleration.”

Whenever students begin earning college credits, it is possible to speed up the process enormously. In fact, Brad himself earned a fully accredited degree in less than six months for a cost less than $5,000. The book includes Brad’s explanation of how he achieved his goal as well as stories of others who have completed accelerated degree programs. (You might notice that home schoolers are well represented among these college graduates!) This is a how-to manual that explains the very practical strategies Brad recommends for gaining credit through testing, earning credit by creating portfolios or through internships, taking online and correspondence courses, and creating your own guided-study courses.

Chapters on speed reading, writing, and improving your memory highlight the importance of those skills for those who want to accelerate their education. Helpful planning worksheets in the appendices can be used to help students determine how they might create their own accelerated distance program. The catch is that students really do need to be self-motivated and self-directed because they are truly in charge of their own education. Even if this path to a college degree doesn’t fit everyone, Brad’s presentation is certain to inspire many students to follow his example.
