  • Accelerated Degree Programs

    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.

  • MBA Accreditation Revisited

    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 ...

  • Degree vs. Certification

    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 ...

  • Some Tough Questions Via Fan Mail

    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 ...

  • Asking The Right Questions

    "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 ...

  • My Undergraduate Course Work

    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 ...
