The cost of an education is very high. I don’t need to remind people about that. There comes a time where we have to ask ourselves what we want out of a degree. I remember back in the early 1990’s when a friend who graduated from The University of Texas Law School told me that he knew people that graduated with ...

We see a lot of advertising for schools that offer “accelerated” degrees. This can be misleading to some if you don’t know what you are getting into. As someone who has just graduated from Kaplan, and had no transfer credits going into the program, I wanted to provide some perspective on this topic.
Keep in mind that ...

Some of you will recall a string of posts a while back addressing the issue of MBA accreditation. This is something that weighed a tremendous amount during my search for my MBA. We discussed the two primary agencies that handle the accreditation process, the ACBSP and AACSB. In working to distinguish between the two, Steve ...

As always, I am happy to answer any questions you might have in regards to online learning. Here is one of the latest pieces of fan mail (as I like to call it.) Paul brings up a great question in regards to either getting certifications or getting a college degree. I’ve applied some practical experience here in answering ...

I recently received some questions from a potential distance education student asking me about my Kaplan experience. I am pleased that my work here has raised some awareness about Kaplan and has caused people to write me with questions. If anyone has any questions about Kaplan that I haven’t covered here to your satisfaction, ...

If you are a member of LinkedIn, you will notice that there is a section in there where people can ask questions on any number of topics. One of those topics is education. I troll around in there looking for random opportunities to provide my assistance where I can. I recently came across a really great QA session that I wanted ...

I recently received another piece of fan mail. Unfortunately, I was not able to answer his questions very well. Steve Parscale from ACBSP was also copied on the mail, and hopefully he will be able to get this guy some quality information that I was not able to provide.
The problem with this particular piece of e-mail is that ...

"I'm not a driven businessman, but a driven artist. I never think about money. Beautiful things make money." --Lord Acton
In my four years at Kaplan, I have been lucky in the sense that all of my materials are provided for me. That includes books, software, and everything else I needed. The only things I have ...

I would like to take the time to reveal a few of the characteristics of the Business/Management program at Kaplan. While I cannot speak for other schools that I have not attended, I wanted to take this occasion to point out my thoughts on the final two years of my undergraduate degree.
This probably isn’t the same curriculum ...

Posting here on eLearners.com has paid off. I finally got my first piece of “fan mail”. I am always eager to help people out, so I thought I would post the interaction here for everyone to enjoy.
I am about to enroll in Kaplan University to study law (Associates of Applied Science -- Paralegal). I have read some of ...

I’ve somewhat fallen into a rut lately. The creative juices aren’t flowing as well as they usually are. This has also caused some complacency in the classroom as well. With this term at Kaplan getting back to normal in terms of the flow of things, I guess I took it for granted a little bit.
Last week, I ...

First, my apologies
in advance to my loyal fans and readers in the distance education community
(all 3-4 of you) for the delay in between posts. I usually try to get 2-3 posts a week, but I’ve
been dealing with some issues at home. I
found a huge water leak from the water heater in the garage. Water was spewing into ...

It’s a small world, isn’t it? I spent my last couple of posts writing about my displeasure with my instructor in the last class I took (where I got an 82.5% for the term, lowering my GPA to a meager 3.5). Somewhere in those posts I mentioned that this was only the second instructor I’ve had where I saw a ...
