What do you think of the for-profit colleges catered to the military?

Stay away from Grand Canyon University. I got my MBA online through them, and while they aren't on the sleeze level as Kaplan or University of Phoenix, if I had it to do all over again, I certainly would NOT. I could have gotten a much better education for alot less money at a brick and mortar school.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>The good news is that many brick and mortar schools now do offer completely online degree programs, where in 2008 when I started my MBA, the schools that offered complete online programs were few and far between. There are so many options these days, just a matter of doing the research before committing.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div class="pta-link-card"><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1"></div><div class="pta-link-card-content"><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_online_colleges_in_the_United_States">List of online colleges in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</a></div><div class="pta-link-card-description">Below is a list of schools that offer virtual or online education programs and are accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the US Department of Education.[1] The Distance Education and Trainin...</div></div><div style="clear:both"></div><div class="pta-box-hide"><i class="icon-remove"></i></div></div><div class="pta-link-card"><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Ambox_globe_content.svg/48px-Ambox_globe_content.svg.png"></div><div class="pta-link-card-content"><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_for-profit_universities_and_colleges">List of for-profit universities and colleges - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</a></div><div class="pta-link-card-description">Many for-profit institutions are subsidiaries of larger parent companies such as the Apollo Group, Career Education Corporation, Corinthian Colleges, Inc., DeVry, Inc., and Laureate Education.</div></div><div style="clear:both"></div><div class="pta-box-hide"><i class="icon-remove"></i></div></div>

MAJ David Chang, Accreditation is critically important for many reasons: (1) it certifies the legitimacy of the academic program, (2) many employers require accreditation to recognize a degree, (3) it includes a review of the graduating student's ability to get a job to justify costs incurred, (4) it lays the foundation for transferring units between accredited colleges making it easier to transfer earned units from one college to another college, (5) undergrad college accreditation may be required for admission to grad school, training, or profession. Unfortunately, unaccredited for profit colleges often set their per unit cost to the maximum a student's sponsor or loan agency will bear, the unaccredited degree is often unhelpful in seeking employment, and unaccredited units may be impossible to transfer to any other school forcing a student to complete all coursework required to complete their degree at the unaccredited school and if they cannot complete the program (due to cost, relocation, etc) their earned units may not be transferable to other schools, requiring them to start over without the benefit of the units for which they have already paid.  Warmest Regards, Sandy

It’s these “fly by night” George Jones Schools of advanced basket weaving that need to be shut down !..
