Some of the schools listed are not in America so if you are an American citizen and chooses to get a degree from a non American institution....good luck!

LTC Jason Mackay - Sir I'm going to have to disagree in part. I have been in healthcare recruiting for the last 15yrs. I can attest that accreditation is VERY much a part of the process with the 'Brand Name' a close 2nd. Example: two students accepted to medical school one in the US the other in the West Indies. Now to practice medicine in the US both need to get selected in a residency program in the US. Guess what the student that choose to attend overseas is out of luck. Last point regarding brand name. We have for profit and non profit institutions of higher learning. If I'm an employer should I accept Capella, Walden of University of Phoenix. Or will I accept Duke, Alabama, West Point, Tennessee State, etc etc.

SFC A.M. Drake - With a degree like this you don't go get a private sector job, this is a degree you earn to teach in the field. It is whether or not your degree and thesis work make it past the academic snob test.
