La Internet es el espacio cibernético ideal para explorar y experimentar y cuenta con una variedad de aportaciones de colegas que se brindan a compartir sus compilaciones de diferentes búsquedas para motivar y estimular la creatividad de todos y todas.
A continuación compartimos una búsqueda básica realizada en Best Colleges Online, College Degrees.Com y College@Home.
