I didn't compare the education, or the credentials of Excelsior College to for-profit schools like Devry, Kaplan, or University of Phoenix, I specifically compared the NAME. Just like how a Hyundai or Kia don't have the brand name of a Honda or Toyota and the reputation, but they are now known for being extremely well built, reliable cars. I think you guys are reading too much into the name game – and not the more technical points several of which have been brought up by others.
...And what exactly does a name mean? The majority of resumes that go through human resources come from unknown colleges and universities. My sister became an executive at a health insurance company based out of San Antonio, TX with only an associates degree from a unknown community college, making over 100,000 a year. The company recently paid for her to get her bachelors degree from Strayer University, a for profit university. Yet, her employees with degrees from well known state and university schools are making only 30-50k a year. Let me guess, you buy Apple products just because it has an Apple logo on the back?
