Johnson's online degree


Joe JohnsonIt's not hard figuring out where Joe Johnson went to high school.

The campaign web site for the Republican candidate for state schools superintendent points out that he graduated from East Henderson High School, Keung Hui reports.

But when it comes to his higher education credentials, it only says he got a bachelor's degree in business administration.

When asked, Johnson said he got his degree from California Coast University which happens to be an online school.

As for his GOP opponents, Eric H. Smith briefly attended Forsyth Technical Community College before going to two different flight schools to get his pilot's license, while Richard Morgan graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill.
