Do you feel University of Phoenix is a school of the future?

September 29, 2007 By: admin Category: college 3 Comments →

William M asked:

I often think that the time has arrived for colleges such as the University of Phoenix as this relates to the growing trend of adult higher education in environments suitable for adult learners. As the growing need for individuals to work beyond retirement, or upgrade their credentials and who have proven their abilities as a result of years of professional experience; former academics and the impression they show in interviewing for admission, leads me to believe institutions of higher learning suitable for adult learners are becoming increasingly in demand. For example, as a result of Phoenix pioneering the concept of adult learning, online-training and learning teams, practically all traditional colleges have included this format in their academics, realizng that the need for adult learning environments enables them to remain competative in a highly competative market.

Is a Masters Degree really important for most jobs?

September 22, 2007 By: admin Category: college 5 Comments →

James R asked:

I was talking to a friend of mine who is extremely intelligent. He told me that for almost any career these days, a specific Masers Degree is extremely important. I am very close to getting my Bachelors Degree and have no plans in going for my masters. I plan to be a technical writer, or editor, or some sort of writing career.

But it seems crazy to me that a Masters Degree would be that important in pretty much any field. Is what he is saying true?

How do you view online degrees?

September 18, 2007 By: admin Category: college 1 Comment →

willie asked:

Some people prefer independent study and choose to obtain a degree in the distance learning format. There are traditional schools who offer online degrees in addition to the classroom option. There are also online-only or correspondence schools which offer distance learning degrees. Would you view their respective degrees the same and why?
