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.

What do I need to learn to build an e-commerce store?

ebizwiz — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:15:15 GMT

First off...is it possible for one person to build an entire e-commerce (e-business, ecommerce, ebusiness) store all by themselves, or does it require several people of different expertise?

Second, most people who have an online store paid developers & companies to build their site or they buy these out-of-the-box websites. I want to be the person who creates those sites, not the one who doesn't have much experience and pays to have it done for them.

Which degrees will teach me how to do this most effectively (e-business degrees, web development degrees or web design degrees)?

Which schools do you recommend?

Thank you for your time in advance!

I started my education working for an IT degree and like Steve decided it wasn’t for me. The degree it sounds like you are looking for is a web designer and there are several really good programs out there that will earn you a bachelors degree.

http://www.elearners.com/search/online-degrees/web-design.htm

These programs cover all of the grit of web design from TCP/IP to hosting protocols to web and server languages. Being you are in e-commerce there are several deep layers from behind the scenes like the database (I use SQL) and the interface language (I use ASP) as well as the final form page (the easy part). There is really a lot of technology to web site design and with the push to convert programs over to web hosted applications this should be a field with a potential for growth . There is also the art side of design which is really all everyone sees.

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!

Web Development Programs?

moxie — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 02:01:17 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm looking at starting an online degree program early next year. I already hold a BS in Human Ecology (minor in Business) from the University of Tennessee, however I've been doing some freelance/volunteer work in web design since college, and I've found that it's what I really enjoy. I would love to make it a full-time career. I'd like to get a BS in IT with a specialization in Web Development and Design. So far I've seriously looked at WGU and Capella, and both of their programs look impressive. However I've heard negatives on both schools... like that WGU is really more for people who are already accomplished in their respective fields, and that Capella is overpriced for what you get (and doesn't have a very good reputation anyway).

Would any of you have suggestions for other schools that might work better or have well-balanced programs? Online learning is my only option at this point, as I work full-time and tend to have a crazy schedule. I'm definitely not wanting to "buy" a degree... I want to LEARN and be well-prepared for my new field upon graduation. Both Capella and WGU have been emailing/calling me daily since I applied... but I won't be making a definite decision until I've looked at all the alternatives.

Any help would be appreciated... thanks for your time! :)
