Anyone have any experience with Rio Salado? I understand its the online subsidiary of Maricopa, Arizona Community College. They offer, what appears to be, a decent Law Enforcement Associate Degree Program. The program is also regionally accredited, which is paramount. I understand they give up to 39 credit hours for Texas (TCLEOSE) and Arizona certified officers. Im particulary interested in current or past students of the online version, and its level of complexity as it differs from a traditional classroom college. Im attending a traditional 2 yr degree program now, but as ya'll full time leo's know, its super tough. Im considering an online degree program, but still a lil gun shy. Any help is appreciated.

I had co-worker take computer class from them as part of a hiring program. He was in his late 50's and like it fine. He was using dial-up internet and said it was slow loading pages but not to the point that he wanted to quit. (by the way it was a computer certificate he got)
