Texas made it official on 7-24-08; they will now recognize national accrediting agencies such as the DETC, ACICS, COE, etc. For those of you who are new to the whole issue here's the short and ugly of it. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board passed a policy which stated that only degree holders with a degree issued by a school ...

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 was reading in the news today about an organization called
the I-DEA or the Idaho Distance
Education Academy
which is a charter school for parents who wish their kids to stay at home for
school using distance learning methods.
Personally I wish this option had been extended to me as a kid and I

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.

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 was reading a newspaper article this weekend about the Texas Virtual Academy, a charter school which is entirely online where kids K-12 can earn their diploma from home, or at least advance to the next grade. Upon reading this I learned that for a student to attend a brick and mortar public school costs $8,700 per student per year. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
