Question about American Military University?

Shaunta37 — Mon, 25 May 2009 21:56:52 GMT

Hello. I am active duty Air Force. I was checking out the Associates of Arts in Web Publishing and Bachelor's of Science in Information Technology at American Military University. I mainly want to open a Web Designer Business to create websites for Christian organizations (churches, non-profit organizations, and outreach ministries).

Are any of you military personnel that have attended American Military University Online? Are they a trustworthy college? Are they accredited regionally, nationally, and geographically? Can you give me a general explanation of what they are all about? I want to get my peers opinions before I go to an admissions advisor. You know how advisors can talk a real good game until they get you admitted.

I had problems with Kaplan University talking a good game, but not living up to what they are talking about. I also saw the crooket stuff Kaplan University was doing at www.ripoffreport.com. You guys ought to check that stuff out. What is your opinion about American Military University? Are they the same as Kaplan University?

Thanks.

I graduated in 2002 and since then I worked for two years before having two beautiful daughters. Right now I am considering going back to work but these are hard times. I do not have time to enroll in a full time program or to a part time program either. So I was considering the e-learning idea.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with e-learning programs -- for instance the one I’ve been looking into is extremely affordable (about $25 for a package of classes) at a site called NEF University. For this price, the courses could look good on a old resume. The website of the place is www.nefuniversity.org – advice?! Is anyone else looking into online learning?

Hello, everyone!

Recognized Online School with Graduation Perhaps?

NadiaBlue — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:12:35 GMT

Hi,

I'm glad to have found this website after weeks of fruitless surfing of the internet for information and I hope someone can provide me with useful information!

I'm looking to pursue a Bachelors degree in either Communication, Journalisim, or English with an emphasis on creative writing. Basically, I want to become a writer and I believe either of those degrees would prepare me for such a career. I need an online/distance school that is as affordable as possible, recognized, and accredited.

I would also like to add that when I complete this, I will be the first in my family with a University degree, the idea of taking part in a graduation ceremony is one that is very important to me and my parents would travel ANYWHERE to attend it. The University of Southern Queensland offers this but their tuition is too expensive for me. Ideally I'm looking for a maximum of 10-15K (USD) for the entire degree.

If anyone can suggest such a school I would greatly appreciate it, basically, affordable, accredited, recognized and preferably with a graduation ceremony at their actual campus. Also, if you think that I may have overlooked a degree that would prepare me for a career in writing, please suggest it!

Thank you,

Nadia

Please help me out - don't know what to do.

I'm a 21 year old male from upstate NY. I've finished high school and started college a couple years ago. My major was Computer Information Systems (Information Technology). Basically I have 64 credits finished, and I have about 10 credits left, 3 or 4 classes. I had some problems in my life which left my last semester with all Fs. So to sum it up, I was a good student until the last semester, and I screwed up the last 3 classes that I had (Biology, Mathematics, Business Presentations). I also had problems with these classes, especially with Business Presentation, because I suffer from panic attacks in nervous situations (giving a speech, etc.). I'm not very good at math, so that contributed somewhat as well, and Biology is something I never cared about. Either way, I have completed alot, over 60 credits, and I have very little left. The classes that I have left are my weaknesses. My questions are these..

1.) Is it possible for me to finish this degree online, even though my last semester's grades are bad?

2.) If yes, is it possible to be ALL online, meaning I don't have to go on a campus? I'm good at this, and every online class I've taken before was a straight A.

3.) How long would it take for me to get this degree? I mean I have alot of credits completed (almost all of them). How would they look at this?

It would really mean alot to me if someone could clear these things up. I do not want to go back to this college and finish these particular classes. I want to finish the degree online, and need to know specifically how. I recently requested a brochure from University of Phoenix as well.

Thank you very much for your help!

Steer Clear of the Online Scams Rewarding Degrees in 5 Days!

Steer Clear of the Online Scams Rewarding Degrees in 5 Days!

Online learning becomes more accepted, that’s why it is getting harder to identify, which online educational establishments require students to finish legitimate coursework, and, which are diploma mills. The situation gets more perplexing as many legitimate universities and colleges turn to distance learning; so many students make up their minds to take classes online and get their degrees remotely.

A degree is one of the most important and expensive money investments people will have to make in their lifetime. Without a degree career doors remain closed for the majority of potential applicants. Though, the academic choice is not about to dice, putting the future career promotion at stake.

However, up to the moment more and more people, who are looking for the better career choices, and are in search of the edge in the competitive job market fall into the trap of the online scams, who offer to reward any degree in a very short period of time, sometimes as less as in five days.

A fake degree is the worst thing ever; just because a person pays money not for the knowledge he can acquire and apply in his career, though for the pseudo-credentials to trick the employers.

There are more than 300 unaccredited universities now operating. More than thirty bogus universities sell online degrees in the United States alone. While a few are start-ups or online ventures, the great majority are so called diploma or degree mills, which are bogus universities and fake schools that confer any degree at prices from $3.000 to $5.000. Diploma mills crank out “paper diplomas rather than the educational experience”, which are genuinely worthless because student’s work and operator’s handling of the mill fall behind the standard educational bench-mark.

“In his classic 1959 study of diploma mills for the American Council on Education, Robert Reid described the typical diploma mill as having the following characteristics: "no classrooms," "faculties are often untrained or nonexistent," and "the officers are unethical self-seekers whose qualifications are no better than their offerings."”

Diploma mills are fraudulent institutions of higher education that issue thousands of diplomas and confer hundreds of degrees annually, earning the aggregate income of $200 million. Diploma mills have become more prosperous because modern technology is becoming increasingly available to general public. The Internet makes bogus degrees easier to get than ever before. A huge diploma mills wave is under way, which grows stronger and stronger with each upcoming year.

John Eaton, a U.S. commissioner of education, once called diploma mills “a disgrace of the American education.”

Diploma mills prey on people’s lack of knowledge and confusion about their accreditation. It is very easy to become a victim of the online scams, who turn years of backbreaking college studying into five days’ degrees rewarding. Indeed, it is really hard to determine whether a degree earned online is really legitimate. Moreover, bogus educational establishments adopt names that are very similar to bona fide universities.

There are some things to remember when making your academic choice.

One should remember is that accreditation, which is declared valid by the U.S. Department of Education, is the highest mark of educational quality. It is very important to verify accreditation, which is given to an institution of higher education, by an agency that is recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation.

Admission criteria that consist entirely of you possessing a credit card are evidently the tricks of the online scams. It is a well-known fact that valid universities require applicants to pass entrance examinations, taking into account their existing academic records.

Getting a distance-education degree from a foreign school is a great imprudence, unless you are absolutely certain that the school's degrees are genuine and valid in the U.S.

The main thing is to be genned up of the possible danger, to be forewarned and to double-check legitimacy of any institution of higher education you’re going to admit to. In this regard, not to look before you leap can be a costly and consequential mistake.
