The Kepler school is an interesting one. They offer distance learning, and all of their courses are asynchronous, in other words you structure your day as you wish, they don't have specific times during the day when you have to be on-line. In this way it's like a correspondence course, and thus would seem ideal for me. It's certainly an in-depth program; it's a four-year program which offers a BA degree at the end. It's probably the best astrological education one could obtain in the U.S.
It has two problems for me. First, there are three twelve-week terms each year, and one week in each term one must go to the Seattle, WA area for seven-day symposia. That means one must be prepared to spend three weeks out of each year (for four years) in Seattle.
Also, the cost is about ten times the cost of the most expensive of the other correspondence courses I've looked at. The cost is $1800 per term, plus $200 per term for books. This means the cost for the four years (assuming they don't raise the tuition) is $24,000. <Lee faints from sticker shock>. If one does the program as a non-matriculating student (I assume this means everything is the same except you don't get the degree), then the entire cost would be $17,400. Now, this doesn't include the cost of three round-trip tickets to Seattle each year, plus housing costs for those weeks.
Yikes!
