I want to have a B.S in computer information systems and I fond this college
world college www.worldcollege.edu affiliation with Cleveland Institute of Electronics . www.cie-wc.edu

I've contact them and I sent them my transcripts and I got 23 credit transfired and the support from the college is very good and fast.

but I need your opinions about this college

so any good or bad opinion about it?

by the way it's accredited by DETC, CHEA and DANTES is that means that it's accepted everywhere? :confused:

thanks a lot

Hi

CIE has been around a L-o-n-g time and has a good name. As for World College, DETC accreditation is fine - by me and LOTS of others...

DETC is a National Accrediting body, rather than Regional (Big 6). It is fine - the only drawback - which you will hopefully never experience - is that more than a few RA schools put up a fuss and won't accept DETC undergrad degrees readily (or at all, sometimes) when you want to start on a Master's.

It's kinda like the girls I went to High School with back in the repressed 50s. "Some will, some won't" - and some that SAY they won't can be persuaded eventually...

DETC accredits a whole bunch of FINE schools - World College, Andrew Jackson University, Columbia Southern and Catholic Distance University among them.

You will likely find VERY good acceptance of your degree by employers in general. I see your program is Bachelor, Computer Info. Systems. If at some point you're going for a master's and some RA school gives you flak -- just move on -- plenty of good schools WILL accept your DETC degree! Heck, there are plenty of DETC schools where you can do your grad work!

Mathieu, I just saw your OTHER posting and the answers to it. Yes, what they say there is true. RA IS more widely accepted than DETC, whether I like it or not...and yes, there's always a hot debate about whether RA is REALLY better or not and by how much. I cannot comment on how well OVERSEAS employers accept DETC degrees, as I have no first- or even second-hand knowledge. Hopefully, other readers can provide answers...

Congratulations - good choice of schools, in my opinion. I'm a fan of DETC colleges and it's good to hear they're treating you right! I wish you every success! :-)
