Almost all EMT/paramedic programs in the United States are offered by community colleges or hospitals, not universities. This is because you do not need a degree to become an EMT -- you just need certification training. Based on your search criteria, I've done a search for you and come up with the following: Arkansas Tech University - Russellville, AR Brigham Young University-Idaho - Rexburg, ID Dixie State College of Utah - Saint George, UT Eastern Kentucky University - Richmond, KY Fairmont State University - Fairmont, WV Idaho State University - Pocatello, ID Indiana University Bloomington - Bloomington, IN Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis - Indianapolis, IN Jefferson College of Health Sciences - Roanoke, VA Macon State College - Macon, GA Mesa State College - Grand Junction, CO Montana State University: Billings - Billings, MT Oregon Health & Science University - Portland, OR Shawnee State University - Portsmouth, OH Springfield College - Springfield, MA University of Alabama at Birmingham - Birmingham, AL University of Arkansas at Monticello - Monticello, AR University of Maryland: Baltimore County - Baltimore, MD University of New Mexico - Albuquerque, NM Weber State University - Ogden, UT Western Carolina University - Cullowhee, NC Western Kentucky University - Bowling Green, KY Youngstown State University - Youngstown, OH You'll need to further narrow those down to determine the NCAA level that you'd like. I can tell you off-hand that Indiana University is the most prestigious of the bunch. Go to http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/adv_typeofschool.jsp to do a more specialized search. Keep in mind that swim team positions will be much more competitive at some, particularly those with higher admissions standards. Good luck.

Actually, any of the schools you mentioned would have outstanding accounting curriculums. Additionally programs at these schools are considered top level although not "Ivy League" programs. These are top schools in Public Accounting and do not represent any order in ranking.

I've taken courses by DL at: University of South Carolina Excelsior College Brigham Young University Louisiana State University Coastal Carolina University Webster University PCDI (vocational) over the past 26 years. What I've seen is that the quality of delivery has steadily increased until now, there's just about no difference in quality between online and in-class at the same school. As for picking a degree program; you're not restricted to those proprietary schools - almost every state U has an online degree completion program now and it's usually cheaper with a better reputation than the proprietary schools. You can get a degree online from some very well placed universities (UMass, Boston U, Fl State, UC) but the reason you don't hear about them as much is because they aren't easy. http://www.petersons.com has a list of online degree programs by subject area. It's a pretty good resource. If you already have a large portion of your degree finished and just need a school that will take maximum transfer credit then "the Big Three" may be the right option for you. Excelsior College http://www.excelsior.edu Thomas Edison State College http://www.tesc.edu Charter Oak State College http://www.cosc.edu you won't find any other regionally accredited programs as flexible or as generous with transfer credit as these three. If you're interested in low cost per course and need some more courses, Peru State College in Nebraska http://www.peru.edu/online/index.htm has a nice selection of bachelor's online and their tuition is more than reasonable when compared to most others. American Public University http://www.apus.edu also has a good selection of courses and degrees but they are just a little more expensive than Peru (though way lower than the proprietary schools). If you're interested in Emergency Management, Jacksonville State University has a pretty cool looking bachelor's online. http://jsuonline.com/online_degrees.php and they are very cost effective. Two sources for feedback about distance education: http://www.degreeinfo.com http://www.degreediscussion.com These folks usually know the real facts about programs out there and can be very helpful. The general recommendations to get the most value of your online education are these: 1) pick a school that is regionally accredited. Specialty accreditation in addition to RA will be essential in some fields. National accreditation such as DETC is valid but won't have the same universal utility as RA. 2) pick a school that has a solid reputation already. This will most likely be a school that has a presence on the ground somewhere (such as UMass or UFla) over those schools who exist only online (UoP, Kaplan, et al). Don't exclude a proprietary school if they meet your needs though and come up as the best viable option. 3) don't expect online education to be easier than in-the class. It simply isn't. You can expect online courses to require a lot of writing and more independent reading than most people want to do.
