Gonzo asked:

How prestigious is getting a Masters in English from the University of Phoenix? Is it looked on as a credible degree or not really? What other online schools are more prestigious or available?

turtle78jgw asked:

My friend is brilliant and incredibly hard-working. She has her masters in International Law/Relations and her bachelors in Criminal Justice but thanks to an old injury can’t become a govern. agent. She is now contracting with the DOJ in an international arena for 5 years and they love her but can’t seem to put her into a govern. job thanks to veteran’s preference and govern. policies. So she is getting passed over for every promotion and big raise that her government counterparts are getting. She is feeling like the only way to advance her career is to get her law degree but I don’t think it’s her passion and would be a huge waste of time and money. But her frustration is that she doesn’t know what else she can do with her degree. Anyone with any ideas or a direction to point her in? She loves international policy/law, politics, criminal justice, has years of experience and has a very keen mind.

hayloho asked:

There are so many colleges out there that offer degrees online. How can you find out if one has a valid accreditation? No one wants a degree that won’t be recognized in the real world! Is there a national database somewhere that can be used to check out a school?

I was just wondering if anyone had received a degree from the University of Phoenix Online and if it is a real degree or just a certificate? Do employers take this degree seriously? Thanks for any stories or other suggestions!!

Jared P asked:

I’ve heard that you can go through a leadership training (not a masters degree) and take a test and become eligable to be a principal. Is this true?

jackdaniels16555 asked:

I was looking at an online university as one of my options for grad school and immediately i found out there is a great amount of resistance in accepting online degrees in the professional world. Even if the education is of high quality, online degrees are generally dismissed as inferior or even fake. It seems to me that one day, online education will be very common.

How long do you think it will take before online education will be widely accepted, if you think it will one day be widely accepted?
