If that was not difficult enough (how ironic when everyone says 'no -whatever- left behind' and the alike), add to that the fact I am not living in the USA… while I think that does it even harder since I guess I would need to go over a mumbo-jumbo paper stuff, it doesn't hurt to ask… maybe there are some good options out there that I am not aware of…

Thanks.

you'd be hard pressed to find a decent design course online. i do know that there are plenty of online schedules/syllabus for regular design courses at universities and the like, finding those is a lil bit of a challenge. youre better off reading the books that have become staples in the industry, Typographic Design: Form and Communication is a great book for any designer.

here are two online schedules/syllabus that i stumbled across http://jimmymoss.com/art413/ and http://www.planetoftheweb.com/archives/000161.php

my suggestion would be for you to invest in really good (quality) books and surround yourself with design (magazines, posters, etc..) and you'll do yourself much better than a cheap online graphic design course thought by who knows who..

Design is not something to be learned at arm's length or online.

Here's a place to start.
I did a google: "Online graphic design schools" and got the following:

The Art Institutes (www.artinstitutes.edu) offers online programs. The only reason I offer this is because I went to an AI school.
