Today was kind of rough for me. I worked from home which was great but I just realized something about 5 minutes ago. I’ve been sitting in the same chair in the same place since 7AM with the exception of a 30 minute break for lunch, an hour break for dinner and an hour to run errands. I went from working almost 9 hours from ...

Oklahoma and parts of Texas are either in or soon will be in a big 24 hour ice storm. In fact it’s predicted to be so bad this evening that my job cut everyone loose at 2:00PM. Another great thing is that today I am working remotely, as in not in the office, as in pretty much the same type of thing that I did while earning my ...

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, two things you need to be successful as an online student, especially one who is also professionally employed, is good scheduling and time management skills. The thing that I use to meet the rigors of academia is routine. That’s right, kind of like your grandparents, I have a ...

No doubt about it, starting a degree program can be scary. We’re talking about committing to something that is very time consuming and that can cost more than a new car. The stress involved in researching and choosing a specific school and degree program is something that almost any working adult graduate student can relate to, ...

“I guess it’s easier to get an online degree” she said to me shortly after congratulating me on finishing the requirements for my MBA.
“Whaaaaattttt?!?!?” was the reply that screamed in my mind. I suddenly had fuzzy vision as my blood pressure shot up with a white hot rage. Suddenly I hated her ...

Adult learners will often go through some realizations and some fears when enrolling in a new degree program. At least I did and most of the people I know have. So if you enroll in a new school or undergo a new degree program here are some common feelings and thoughts.
1.) “Did I make the right choice?” Believe it or ...

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 ...

A lot of online students write and talk about all the work
we have to do, all the sacrifices to be made and the rigor that is forced upon
us and sometimes it can sound a little like complaining. But the truth is many of us really love this
stuff and all of us see value in it. I’m
glad for all of you that read my blog ...

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 ...

Hey, Cajun -
You're right in considering Andrew Jackson University. I am currently enrolled there, and it is both cost-efficient and has a great curriculum. They are nationally accredited, if that makes any difference to you (regional vs. national - no big deal to me). Nowadays, as long as you have the degree from an ...

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 necessary. ...

I was reading an interesting article tonight about how the United Arab Emirates are concerned about a looming skills shortage in their workforce in the future. In short, there are not enough skilled employees to keep pace with their growing economy which could consequently slow growth. They aren’t alone in their concern.
The United States ...

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 ...

Tonight I was reading the various student success stories on the Ashford University's Web site in an effort to gain some encouragement and get some perspective. I got both but I also got a little bit of a surprise too, after reading so many success stories I am starting to really see how the ability to study and earn a degree online has ...

There are five newly accredited schools for potential students to consider. Some interesting offerings are here that have not been offered before and I did a quick scan of each of these schools. See below for my quick and dirty reviews based upon price, site content and offerings.
The following institutions were accredited as of June 7, ...

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 ...

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 ...

I don’t think I’ve ever really said much about it before but I figured that since I blogged about 2 guys who were diagnosed as having learning disabilities and being “notable failures” in history I would go ahead and make tonight about my own personal learning disability. My learning disability has been officially ...

I can hardly believe it. Here I am looking at the schedule for my next class and realize that I have only 3 courses left. Including this week which is half way over I have 19 weeks left of school and then I’m home free. I am wondering about the commencement ceremony though. It will be in mid December in Iowa. 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. 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 ...

I sometimes get asked “how do you remember all of that stuff” when talking about tests I’ve taken for computer certifications such as the Comptia A+, Network+ and a bunch of stuff I’ve learned throughout earning my BS and MBA. Honestly there is no one trick or tip that works for everything but there are some that will ...

My title got you didn’t it? You’re reading this blog post thinking “can I really get my MBA quick and easy?” Sure you can. It wasn’t too many weeks ago I interviewed a guy who had a degree from a wholly unaccredited and un-wonderful university (which shall go unnamed) and he told me how quick and easy it was to get ...
