I was enrolled in NTU before I moved up here to Canada.  The company
I worked for in the US provided us with everything we needed.  Basically
the courses are live courses from participating universities with regular
full time students attending.  These included Georgia Tech, USC, and
about 30 others that I can't recall right now.

I watched the courses live via satellite and phoned in questions, etc.  You
could also watch the taped version if you wanted.  Quizes, tests,
assignments and exams were distributed and collected by someone at my
company.  They were then graded by the professor ( or assistant or
whatever) and returned to us.  (And they were NOT easy let me tell you :-)

It was perfect for me because I worked full-time and it allowed the
flexibility of watching the taped version at my convenience when I was 
scrunched for time.  I wish there was something like that here!

All degrees are accredited by their respective associations.
So, it would be like getting a degree from a combination of all these
great universities.

You have to go through an admission procedure just like any other
university, so call them up and get a catalog.  It'll tell you everything
you want to know and you'll be able to tell if it's right for you.
