Strayer University of Arlington, VA, (among others) continues to have accreditation problems, and potential students are advised to avoid the school. Strayer lacks accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (www.sacs.edu); additionally, its undergrad and graduate programs in business are not accredited by AACSB ...

So Fall of 2008 is just around the corner and the usual excitement
that goes with that is crackling in the air.
The NFL is ramping up, the BCS people are already arguing over who the
next college football champ will be, the kids are looking at going to school,
the Class of 2012 is beginning their freshmen year in college or high ...

Hi,
I'm 22 yrs old, and working in the HR dept for a local company in Dubai. I wanted to know if there's any way I can do an online dimploma course (online/correspondence - preferably in human resources/public relations) within 1.5 yrs and top it up with a masters degree? If yes, which colleges give that option, because I dont want ...

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
think it is a great thing to ...

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 ...

“Where do you find the time?” “You must really like working a lot.” “You must be a (book worm or nerd or Einstein or driven or a workaholic or any number of assumptions people like to make about someone they barely know anything about other than they are different). These three quotes above are ...

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 week in Managerial Finance we looked at investing. By the nature of investing there is an element of risk. Risk is the price of opportunity for profit. I’ve always considered getting an education to be an investment, albeit one in which the returns are often not readily quantifiable but an investment nonetheless. ...

I submitted my assignment and completed my discussion questions ending week 3 of Managerial Finance. I have to tell you folks, this was one of the roughest weeks I’ve experienced since beginning my MBA program. I knew there would be weeks like this and I thought I had prepared myself mentally for it before even starting the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Okay I know I promised a 3 part series on certificates, which I will finish sometime tonight or tomorrow, but for now something more pressing is at hand. Terry has an excellent blog post on one of the many shortcomings of my beloved State of Texas in regards to education. I strongly urge you to read his post in which he rightfully is ...
