Just don't tell him that John Harvard is your true love! :-D

“The casual conversational tone of a blog is what makes it particularly dangerous.” — Daniel B. Beaulieu Recently I came to the defense of Kareem Amer, an Egyptian blogger who has been imprisoned in his native country for the last two and half years supposedly for having defamed Islam, but in reality for having insulted Egyptian ...

Andria, if you're not living in the Boston area it's actually not very practical to try to get a degree from HES, so maybe that will help you resist the impulse. :-) And CWE, yes, I am indeed part of that pernicious inimical cabal.

brent9:The accreditation is a dead heat for the most part. Capella, CTU, NCU and APUS are all RA, NCA-HLC. APUS is also Federally Accredited, I am not sure if that means anything, do you have any comments? To me, if a school is regionally accredited, then national accreditation is irrelevant.  Many schools that have transitioned from ...

donald11:I'm glad you found the thread interesting, but I would strongly advise your wife NOT to get an online law degree because in every state except California, the degree willl not be worth the paper it is printed on. I wouldn't agree with that, "not be worth the paper it is printed on" makes them sound fraudulent, and they ...

I think if you speak English even half as well as you write it that it would be a waste of time and money -- you'll be fine. -=Steve=-

techcrew:Please show me ONE link to a post that claims that COLUMBIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY in Orange Beach, AL is a diploma mill. This thread was from more than two years ago, so I'm not sure to whom you were directing this, but for the record, Columbia State University in Orange Beach, AL has been accredited by DETC since 2001 and is not a ...

donald11:Your right Steve (Great blog post, BTW)  However, I think you left something out in your piece: How many people know the differecne between HES and the regular Harvard?  I would be willing to bet that 95% of the country think that Harvard and HES are the same thing and have the same admission requirements.  Is anyone ...

Princess78:Also if I decide to go to Penn Foster for the Vet Tech degree it would probably be helpful to know a few of the basics. They'll teach you the basics, that's their job.  I still think you should make a firm decision before going on, but it's your call. -=Steve=-

dguillot:Attending Harvard and UCLA, usually benefits if you attend the main school.  Organizations that do recognize Ivy League school credentials are strict in hiring those that use the credentials of the extension schools. This link is an example: http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_harvard_extention_school_lower_quality.htm That link is ...

“I won't say there aren't any Harvard graduates who have never asserted a superior attitude. But they have done so to our great embarrassment and in no way represent the Harvard I know.” — Derek Bok, President Emeritus of Harvard University For many years I've seen people mention the Harvard Extension School as a ...

I think the answer is nearly everyone is.  Consider how ingrained in our culture complaining about one's job is.  But how many people take any steps at all to change their situation, whether to learn a more enjoyable profession, or to strike out on their own and start a business? Another question, how many people are willing to downsize ...

“Alternatively, let this be a call to arms to develop [open educational resources] broad enough and deep enough to make situations like this moot in the future.” — CWE So for the last few days I've been talking about the present and possible future of Learning Management Systems (LMS), those online classroom systems with ...
