You could write about how bubblegum is made in a World Religions course and still get an A for meeting the length requirements and following APA guidelines. I watched a review by a University of Phoenix student who also said content was not important there. That's how I earned 30-something credits at WIU without learning a thing. Even the textbooks were terrible. It was like they searched the English speaking world for the worst written textbooks. When it came to Colorado Technical University's 5.5 week courses, with all of the busy work, you didn't even have time to read the ebooks. Good thing students didn't need to read anything to complete most of the assignments.
Right, I have no doubt that some work will be involved. I am just uneasy about the stigma that comes with getting a degree from a program that is basically The University of Phoenix Jr. (FWIW, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with anyone getting their degree from this institution).
My local college offers a fully online MPA that is NASPAA accredited. I was previously unaware of this program until last week. I'm giving this program SERIOUS consideration.
