Hi There,
I am writing to you as an executive staff member at Southern States University (www.ssu-us.org). The best way to get your questions answered is to email us at info@ssu-us.org or to call us directly at 800-804-8586. Let me give you a few reasons to re-consider Southern States University (SSU) for your DBA:
1) ...

I sometimes get asked “what should I major in” to which my
reply is universally “well, what do you want to do?” Usually a conversation follows where they are
looking for a degree that has utility in their current profession but that will
cross over to other careers, public and private if ...

In the forums one of the most frequent questions I see is "which school is right for me" or "can you help me choose a school" or "do you know of a school" etc. The problem with answering those questions is that choosing the right school is impossible for someone to do for you. They can suggest, point you in the right ...

First up, I've written about them before and I'm doing it again, but the Harrison Middleton University's College of the Humanities and Sciences has the best looking all around liberal arts doctorate programs I've seen. I love the concept of performing your research based upon readings from the Great Books, many of which have shaped ...

On occasion I will get a question from someone on how to spot a fake school online. Note that I am talking specifically about degree mills, not necessarily unaccredited schools, there is a difference. First let’s define a degree mill, a degree mill is a “school” that will sell you a diploma and usually provide some ...

I keep hearing on the radio and television about the woes to
come for our economy. So far in North
Texas we really haven’t seen a lot of the impact from the so
called recession but we have started to see some larger businesses begin to brace
themselves for the impact through budget cuts, some hiring freezes, etc. One ...

Many of you may not have heard of the animated television show King of the Hill, suffice to say it is a show loosely based upon a character from Beavis and Butthead. At least I think it’s based off of him, Tom Anderson.Anyways so I’m eating lunch tonight at work and on a television in the room is this cartoon show where a young ...

Right now everywhere you turn we in America are in short supply of something vital to our country; we are in short supply of true leaders. Oh sure there are lots of people running about claiming to be leaders simply because they have been placed in leadership positions, but simply occupying a place of authority does not make a leader. If that ...

For the past 6 months I have been working on quantitative courses and not really so much on anything research or qualitative. Even though I was required to write final projects the information was largely presented in equations, formulas and numerical answers with brief to thorough explanations. There really wasn’t a whole lot of ...

I have noticed that many online colleges charge nearly the same price as if you were going to college in person. Considering that a person taking classes online isn't able to have access to the resources of a traditional university, such as the library, student recreation center, professor lectures and so on I can't help but wonder where ...

I read an interesting interview of an executive recruiter over the value of the MBA. I recommend you read it as well, but in a nutshell, the MBA has real value. It has the most value in investment banking, consulting work and finance but can be a cross industry asset as well. The MBA is being more sought after by being ...

Greetings!
I'm new to the site (just found it yesterday) and I'm about to start a Business (IT Management) degree program at WGU. I'm going to be digging through posts and trying to get familiar with the site, but thought I'd better say HI to all of you regulars. Hey, there isn't a WGU tag!

I found an interesting thread this evening in a discussion post about a recently minted MBA who seems to be ostracizing himself at work when it comes to relationships with his peers and boss. In this case the graduate likes to reiterate the fact that he has an MBA, uses shop jargon taught in business school around people who are unfamiliar ...

This is part II of a two part series. (Click to view part I.)
6.) Technology. Technology is an inevitable part of being an online student. Using new, unfamiliar software and mastering the art of using it skillfully will become essential. If you are still carrying a pager, use a rotary phone, are afraid of a fax machine and ...

Okay I know it seems strange for a guy who is all about distance education to write about the negative aspects of learning online, but for the sake of fairness sometimes it is necessary to look at the bad side of learning as well as the good. After all it is important to make a well-informed decision when considering going back to ...

Normally I will finish my written assignment on Saturday night after working on it for a while throughout the week. Well unfortunately, I have been a little more pressed for time than normal and I still need to submit the assignment by Monday. Given that tomorrow is the “big game” (note the term super-duper-bowl is ...

The Financial Times, in the United Kingdom have a very interesting article published a couple days ago on survey results from MBA students. These students graduated in 2004 and the survey attempts to see their progress after 3 years, posting results for 2008. Again further proof that an MBA pays in the long run, though perhaps not ...

Almost anyone in business can tell you, the world of business is becoming increasingly global. I’ve made no bones in the past about how important an MBA can be for ones future prospects at getting ahead. Though I am still debating as to whether this is because of the skills you learned due to your MBA studies or the sheer fact ...

According to the Star Tribune the MBA has become “the” degree to get for working adults. In the St. Paul-Minneapolis area alone the newspaper estimates that there are 5,000 MBA students working towards their degree from one of a dozen available schools. Students, “…primarily working adults taking classes at ...

This really seems more of a niche audience type of blog post, so if you’re reading this, you either like the way I write, are related to me or are really into music and education. As you may have surmised from the title, I’m attempting to appeal to the latter audience.
I’ve written in the past that I love to play guitar. In ...

A coworker of mine overheard me talking about the expense of graduate school. After all, I did just prepay the balance of my tuition to Ashford. He kind of in a joking way stated, “all of that money and time gone and you’re in the same job as me probably making the same money and I don’t even have a degree.”
Now he did ...

Hello all. My name's Brooks.
I decided to sign up in order to find some advice on continuing my education. I currently work full-time as an instructor at a juvenile wilderness camp; married; live in a rural area. All of these things add up to me continuing my education in an online environment, as it would be ...

In reading a lot of forum posts I am always encouraged by people who have found a website such as eLearners in order to gain information about furthering their education. Often times, however, many of these people ask about 1 or 2 schools specifically and have done little to no research or they are not even sure what it is they want to do.
This ...

I've started to recently wonder if people are boosted towards success by their degree (which is what many online schools advertise) or if the success is due to the byproduct of getting that degree which is an education. In getting a degree you of course are exposed to all sorts of new ideas and ways of doing things. You will be ...
