...AND THIS LIST CONTINUES ON AND ON...

Capella, Strayer and DeVry, all mentioned in your "fake" list are all REGIONALLY ACCREDITED schools. Please do your research before you make these lists!!

Capella - North Central Assoc.
Strayer - Middle States Assoc.
DeVry - North Central Assoc.

You can verify this on their websites:

http://www.capella.edu
http://www.devry.edu
http://www.strayer.edu

I have seen "bad press" on the web for two of these schools (Capella and DeVry) from students dissatisfied for various reasons, and there has been litigation. However, they are not "fakes" or "mills" or their Regional Accreditation would have been revoked a long time ago!

Please check your facts!

Online MBA programs – Stars and Stinkers

Bloggers continually debate the quality of colleges and universities that have online MBA programs; however, the arguments are usually more emotional than factual. My research has shown that there are both stars and stinkers in this important field of graduate study:

Morehead State University (Morehead, KY) is clearly a star. Its online MBA program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and the cost for residents and non-residents alike is a mere $990 per course.

Western Kentucky University (Bowling Green, KY) is also a star. Its online MBA program is accredited by AACSB and the tuition is only $1,173 per course.

Strayer University Online (Newington, VA) falls into the stinker category, primarily because neither its undergraduate nor its graduate business degrees are accredited by AACSB. Moreover, the tuition is $1,730 per graduate course—almost twice that of Morehead State.

University of Phoenix (Phoenix, AZ) is also a stinker. Its business degrees are not accredited by AACSB, and the tuition is $1,764 for graduate courses. Additionally, in September, 2006, the EEOC filed suit against the university for discriminating against “non-Mormon” employees.

Prospective students who wish to know more about these and other online MBA programs should go to http://www.geteducated.com/rankings/best_mbaaacsb.asp.

Thank you very much for this information.

I were thinking of getting a degree from Almada but just wanted to confirm first incase it is worth going for, and I got this.

If anyone of you can suggest me that will be really great for me. I have no graduation degree but I have 4 years of experience in Computers and working with a good company as a web designer. It is really touch to explain how this all has happen but fact is this only. I am doing good with my job but really not happy that I am not graduate, becasue I know it will be more better if I get a degree and get a far better job anywhere I want.

I am willing to do a degree which take my less time and which is just similer to what my profession is. Like a degree in Graphis design or fine arts. And most improtantely that degree could be given seeing my current status and what I have already learned.

Do you have somehting in mind, please help.

Thank you

Hi, Kukku,

Oregon and several other states have "something in mind," as you put it, for anybody who tries to secure employment with a bogus degree ---it's called JAIL.

Face it - NO accredited school is going to hand you a degree for your experience. None. period.

What you COULD do, maybe, is start by acquiring a NA or RA Associate Degree in web design, or graphic design; both seem a good match for your work experience.

You could likely get SOME PLA-recognition credit, or credit-by-testing for what you've learned in the workplace. Either way, it's a formal process.

If you're within reach of a Community College, I'd go there first. It may be your cheapest route and best source of PLA recognition. If that's not possible, have a look at Penn Foster College - I believe they have DL Associate degree programs in both fields mentioned. Cost works out to $50-odd a credit hour, I believe. Most people finish within two years, I'm told.

That's the best I can suggest. Your Community College program might have a bit of an edge for subsequent transfer to a four-year school, if that's your aim. However, I've heard MOST Penn Foster courses are ACE-reviewed, so those that are would be good for transfer. They (Penn Foster) could easily tell you which courses in your chosen program are ACE-reviewed.

See an academic counselor somewhere local - he can give you 'WAY more advice than I can.

I wish you the best
