Can you be a little more specific to which schools are more likely to "lie to your face". If you know of a school/campus that has misled its students then this would be more helpful to the OP than lumping all online schools into one group.
"Recruiters at for-profit colleges lied to entice students and encouraged them to commit fraud to qualify for aid, a report by the Government Accountability Office found. Recruiters at all 15 colleges studied by the GAO, Congress's investigational arm, misled potential students about the costs, duration and quality of their programs, according to a report obtained by Bloomberg News that will be released today.
The 30-page report said recruiters at four of the colleges encouraged fraud on loan applications, without identifying the institutions. The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which commissioned the report, will hold a hearing today to examine the tactics that for-profit colleges use to recruit students and coach them to apply for financial aid.
... "College representatives exaggerated undercover applicants' potential salary after graduation and failed to provide clear information about the college's program duration, costs, or graduation rate," the report said. "Admissions staff used other deceptive practices, such as pressuring applicants to sign a contract for enrollment before allowing them to speak to a financial advisor about program cost and financing options.""

That report was full of discrepancies and discarded as an unreliable source. Try again...which schools have lied to potential students?
I just found out today that Lincoln College does offer the full HIT program online and is AHIMA accredited as well. Now, I have to make a decision which one to go with. I am pretty much in the enrollment phase with Devry, but I have still not signed any papers committing myself to their school. Decisions, decisions.
Also, Lincoln College of New England is regionally accredited which is better than Devry's accreditation which is The Higher Learning Commission. http://www.ncahlc.org/
Lincoln College is a lot more expensive though, but it might be worth it in the end if it is looked at a little better than Devry.

Ask for a list of their instructors who are currently teaching...then google them to find out their reputation on their respective industries. If the campus does not provide you a list, let them know that they are required by law to disclose that type of information.
