I am teaching my first class for Bellevue. For the most part, I've found the university's administration to be responsive and quite caring regarding students and instructors. They use Blackboard as the platform, and seem to be trying to expand their use of it.
I'm particularly impressed with the quality of work students post to ...

SteveFoerster: Lester:DBA vs. PhD is no where as nearly important as the school you attend, the committee who supervises you, the thesis you produce, etc. In fact, Harvard awards the DBA vice the PhD for business doctoral graduates. I'm certain such a degree would not hamper one. I think Donald's point was that unless one wanted to be a ...

SteveFoerster: Cajun:Good point Steve, I think making the argument that denying title IV status to U of London on the basis of protecting money from going to mills is a bit of an overkill at best.
I've been thinking about Lester's argument a little more, and there's also an explanation that's sort of in the middle. ...

donald11:If you want to teach at the university level, AACSB accredidation is a must. Unless you want to work in higher education or research, a DBA is not going to be of much use to you. Also, do you currently have an MBA, or will this be your first graduate degree?
DBA vs. PhD is no where as nearly important as the school you ...

Most distance learning school sites have links to their employment page, where one would find potential job openings. Consider Bellevue University, American Military University, Strayer University....

SteveFoerster: Fahad:Thank you Cajun, appreciate your response. I have not considered DBA sipmly becasue everyone I know is talking about PhD. But your suggestion seems suitable to me as I want to do a research-based degree. Do you recommend any good university? time and cost are very important factors.
Research based is ...

SteveFoerster: luca:Well the Secretary of transportation is appointed and is not required to have any degree or any professional qualification at all. Beside that i'm sure some people may have find a job with UoP but good and serious education is another story made it online or not.
Frankly, if a grad getting appointed ...

SteveFoerster: It's a pretty lame restriction, but it does help reveal that federal aid programs are designed to be a subsidy to American schools, not American students.
-=Steve=-
No, it does not. American students studying abroad at schools participating in Title IV financial aid may apply for Pell Grants, Stafford Loans, etc. The ...

Cajun: Have you ever asked the DETC about this? I've always found them to be exceptionally responsive. Also in my opinion AJU is a top notch school from everything I've seen and heard. Despite their origins, they have always impressed me, but ever since I've known them they've been a DETC school.
CCU has ...

National accreditation (including DETC and ACCSCT) can be considered one class. There is a gulf between it and regional accreditation, and nowhere in the literature do you find differences between the national accreditors when it comes to acceptability of the degrees their schools issue. That's why it is relevant.
The national accreditors ...
-
Cajun: Thanks Lester I think you just made my point for me however indirectly. DETC has an undeserved reputation for being a lesser accrediting agency in higher education. However as you have pointed out, crap schools don't get accredited by them, even though they may try. The DETC's screening process does indeed ...

When Andrew Jackson University was claiming utterly fake accreditation, where did they turn to get recognized accreditation? DETC.
When Columbia Southern University was claiming utterly fake accreditation, where did they turn to get recognized accreditation? DETC.
When California Coast University finally decided after more than two decades to ...

Yes and no. If the university in question has a federal school code from the US Department of Education, then you may participate in the US Federal Financial Aid programme. But there is a catch. You may not do so for distance learning conducted by non-U.S. schools. It is limited to on-campus study only. This rule is relatively recent and very ...

Attempting to maintain a list of unaccredited schools--like Oregon's--is noble, but futile. The list will always be out of date. And mill operators have learned to merely change the names of their "universities" and remain in business. Instead, maintaining a list of accredited schools is the more effective approach.
A school ...

SteveFoerster: You're right -- this is something that other universities care more about than most employers. It's an attempt by higher education to maintain its pecking order.
-=Steve=-
This is misleading. While the first part is technically true--universities care more than employers--it is still a big issue with employers, ...

"Full Sail University" causes concern in at least two aspects. First, the name. Research, along with anectodal evidence drawn from discussion threads on this topic, has indicated that the name of the school can impact the acceptability of its degrees. Diploma mill degrees from "real-sounding schools" are often deemed acceptable ...

But then I got a little off topic didn't I?
Indeed
The system isn't broken, but I'm willing to bet that it can be with too much interference.
I didn't say it was broken. I said it could be leveraged to help the country out of its current malaise and be used to take on our future challenges.
As for ...

Cajun: I encourage you to read some history books, gain some perspective and I'd start with the U.S. Constitution were I you, try and understand the scope of our government, even if we haven't seemed to adhere to it in some time.
Thank you for the "advice."
"Robert" Wade.
The East Asian "Miracle" is ...

SteveFoerster: Lester, are you suggesting that the U.S. federalize its approach to higher education and workforce training? There are already clear, established ways to equate workforce training and similar things like military experience to academic credit, most notably through ACE recommendations. Moreover, we've built the best ...

SamKrening:Recently I was reading an article discussing education In developing countries. this is what was said, higher education has two fundamental responsibilities to help ensure the continued well-being of the nation today:
to provide graduates and the nation at large with the skills needed to be effective in a global, increasingly ...

kcdpas: tedmeister:What do these people at Rip-Off Report expect? Private universities are very expensive because they are not getting subsidies from their state legislatures. Don't really want to argue with you. If many say avoid a school, I would. You could still go at your own risk:)
UoP has nearly 300,000 students. If they have even a ...

smidwife777: Hello,
I would like to know if anyone knows anything about Fielding Graduate University. I am particulary interested in their online clinical PH.D in psychology, and how demanding this course is. If anyone has attended this school and could supply me with this information I would appreciate it.

Fielding has a ...

What Steve said. CHEA will have the most up-to-date information about which schools are or are not accredited, and by whom.

A key difference between classroom- and online-based education is the ability to communicate routinely via the written word. If you are going to pursue a degree from a U.S.-based school, for example, you'll need to be able to write effectively in English. Not just papers, but even the more-casual conversations that take place in discussion ...

edtechgal: I agree- it seems like an unbelievable waste of time and money to even consider taking a program from a school that is not accredited. Particularly at the doctorate level, why would you want to try to become an expert practitioner in any given field, and then basically not get the full picture of your field due to ...
