This is the 5th and final posting in the Top Universities by Region series. Considering the Northeast is home to the Ivy League, I thought it was fitting to end the series with this stellar list of the Top 5 universities in the Northeast.

Although this review is not specifically geared for the online student, except for Princeton, all of the Ivy League universities listed below offer some sort of online program.

Although not included here, another Ivy League institution, Cornell University, also offers online degrees and certificates.

What is the very best university in the nation? The question can perhaps be rephrased: What is the very best university in the Northeast? Time and again, on list after list, the top-rated university in the country is a Northeastern one.

The names stay the same, though the order sometimes changes. Is it Harvard, Yale, Princeton or Princeton, Harvard, Yale, or Yale, Princeton, Harvard? Given the prestige that comes with a degree from any of these universities, it is sometimes difficult to see any difference.

But there is, of course, a difference. Each school offers its own version of the best and each graduates students who can quickly and easily identify fellow alums. A Yalie is a Yalie is a Yalie, be he John Kerry or George Bush (to cite two recently profiled graduates of that institution).

To graduate from any of these schools is to be a member of an elite club. For many hopefuls, it seems, education is an afterthought. The primary goal is just getting in. Once the yearned-for admission is achieved, it is time to exhale. In the fantasy of many applicants, admission means that a lifetime of doors opening, jobs appearing, and riches all but guaranteed. Like any cliché, this fantasy has a basis in reality. Graduates from the schools on this list go on to big things, and big things are often done by graduates of these schools.

Is it the ambition to be the best that student arrive with that makes them become CEOs and presidents? Or is there something inherent in the education offered at these institutions that shapes leaders? That is a chicken and egg question, it is very hard to know the answer. But if someone is to solve that question, it is not unlikely that he or she will hold a diploma from one of the esteemed schools on this list.

1. Harvard University, Cambridge, MA

Harvard has so long been synonymous with the best (think “the Harvard of…”) that its first place seat on this list is unlikely to shake the institution one way or the other. Despite its many detractors, Harvard continues to attract top students and top faculty, making it the high water mark in American education. Being able to ‘drop the H-bomb,’ and say you went to Harvard, continues to impress more than any degree.

* Harvard University – Online programs and online courses

2. Yale University, New Haven, CT

Number two Yale, alma mater of presidents and the powerful, has a heated competition with Harvard that keeps both schools at their best. A word to the wise: Visit New Haven before accepting a Yale admission. The flavor of the campus and town are different from that at the other Ivies and may not be to everyone’s taste.

* Yale University – Online programs and online courses

3. Princeton University, Princeton, NJ

Third place Princeton University has recently plundered some of Harvard’s most prestigious departments for faculty, gaining the school headlines and new enthusiasm among applicants. Forever the American home of Einstein, Princeton’s bucolic setting makes it the ideal place to ponder imponderables on the road to success.

* Princeton University does not offer any online programs or online courses at this time

4. University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA

Founded by no less prestigious a figure than Benjamin Franklin, Penn lures top applicants away from the top three schools on this list by providing one of the very best educations available anywhere in the world, with a stress on integration between academic and non-academic experience. Penn is simply a great school.

* University of Pennsylvania – Online programs and courses

5. Columbia University, New York, NY

Last, but in no way least, is Columbia University. Located above Central Park in Manhattan, Columbia capitalizes on its city-that-never-sleeps location to attract some of the most creative and visionary students and faculty in the nation to its campus. Columbia is a terrific school, offering stellar education alongside impossible-to-beat cultural and internship opportunities.

* Columbia University – Online degrees, online certificates, and online courses

If you are admitted to more than one of these schools, first, congratulations. Second, some advice: it is essential to spend time on and around campus before making your decision, each is excellent and each has a flavor all its own.

Straits Times journalist from Singapore, Lim Yee Hung reported in a newspaper article that he received two university degrees last week. One is an associate degree in Criminal Justice and the other a degree in Journalism. It took barely a week to get two degrees. If academic qualifications that are easy to obtain, are probably fake degrees.

He went on to say in the report that he obtained the degree of association of criminal justice at the University of Belford and journalism degrees from the real pay a total of U.S. $ 349 for grades excluding freight costs, for its part without studying or taking exams.

He called the University of Belford online before purchasing titles and was assured that Belford University degrees are perfectly legal, properly accredited and accepted worldwide. For an applicant to obtain a Belford degree, the candidate must have sufficient ‘life experience’ or an ‘online equivalency test, which can be done in under an hour.

Diploma degrees are not really of his own to offer to sell the replica and imitation of approximately 115 degrees true universities including Ivy League universities like Brown University and Cornell University. The securities offered by real diploma are fakes and they tell you upfront about it.

Lim received when Belford University degree, he found it very impressive. Along with the grade education package also transcripts with grades for each module. The university seal is embossed on the degree and hopes authentic. How can there be grades and transcripts if tests and examinations are not taken?

The level of journalism, although it can be easily identified as false. There is notable lack of spelling and grammatical errors. For example, in his grade, as detailed Decemberf December.

Reported that in the United States, fake degree scams are so rampant that the problem is seen as a threat to national security. An audit in May 2004 showed that a total of 463 employees in the federal government had fake academic degrees. Some were even high ranking officials in sensitive positions with high levels of security to boot.

According to the fake degree mill expert John Bear, co-author of Degree Mills, fake degree mills are an industry of one billion dollars have sold thousands of fake degrees and diplomas in international online each week.

Although some employers may check the qualifications of prospective employees directly by calling the university that awarded the degree, this examination may not be effective against some degree mills as some of these degree mills provide verification services. Employers who were asked that the job applicant is indeed a graduate of that university.

However, not all college and university online degree programs are frauds. There are some great universities such as Harvard University offer online degrees.

So if you want to get a degree online, then it’s prudent for you to do thorough due diligence and consult your local education authorities for the online university for authenticity, not to end up with a fake title a costly mistake.
