Breyer State

[Randall Flagg]

If you need an accredited degree you don't need or want a Breyer State degree. If you have other needs Breyer might be fine. At any rate it's up to the individual to decide which of the legal choices he will select. It's not a group decision.

Why did Rich Douglas work at three unaccredited schools?
Why did Bear own several unaccredited schools and work for others?

As for me, I would use another school anyway. Breyer isn't one of my favorites.

As I said, It's an individual choice.

We are not saying that you should use any particular school, just that you can choose from the many legal choices, just as did Bear and Douglas when they collected those checks. If they can make the choices they did and be legit, others can do the same.

Breyer / Greenwich / VIU / IIAS / LIAR / CPU=  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Why did Bear own several unaccredited schools and work for others?

some of these many "schools" owned, advertised or run by John Bear were "non traditional"; some (EG Millard Fillmore, London Institute of Applied Research = L.I.A.R ) were more of a degree printing business for vanity buyers...meant in jest and to fund charities with the profits, of course ( so tells John Bear ).
The problem is he calls all of them fraudulent these days.

[Randall Flagg]

Correct: he now puts them all into the same sack, shakes well, and says, "Less than Wonderful" while his pet troll 'Rich Douglas' puts to words what Bear wants to say but won't (Avoiding lawsuits) " Degree Mills."  Apparently Douglas doesn't fear lawsuits. I guess they can't get what he doesn't have.

If CPU and Greenwich / IIAS, were little better than jokes, then why did Bear say they were good, recommend them to thousands of people, and why did he take the money from such (as he now claims) useless schools which provided degrees that are all but useless, according to him. Well, he now has a different agenda and these little schools and the people who listened to him no longer fit into his plans, so, they are trashed while he re-invents himself, again. He is a used car salesman who sells what is on the lot. It doesn't matter how good or bad it is, if it will crank or run, he is going to sell it to you and will say what is necessary to make the sale.

John Bear likes to let everyone know he has a VERY COMFORTABLE retirement. He can thank the people he sold all his trash to over the years. A man lives a life of integrity and deceny or he does not. Some prefer to make a lot of money and don't give a damn what they have to do or say to make it. Bear is one more.

What about BS or MS degree ?
What is the utility if I wanted to work as a teacher or civil service jobs?
As a teacher I need accredited BA/BS and earned teaching credential.
For civil service or many other government jobs an accredited degree is required. Why should one get a black listed school in some states degree? There are accredited low priced alternatives there. Please explain where is the value?

What low priced accredited alternatives? I think you are looking at at least $10,000 for a bachelors degree unless you are extremely good at challenge exams. The CLEP method through the Easy Three is cheap but, as they say, some people don't test well.

Value? I can only refer to the only study done into the value of unaccredited degrees. The esteemed Dr. Richard Coleman Douglas found, in a study, that 97% of employers hold some positive degree of value in state licensed degrees.

If you need an accredited degree, you need an accredited degree. State licensed degrees have many limitations, but they are not worthless.

Well UNISA, Ashword, Cal State DH Are relatively cheap.

I guess so, Once one has an earned Accredited BS maybe second degree can be from state licensed school.
SCUPS degrees have value and they are unaccredited.
But even among better unaccredited state licensed schools Brayer
has a black eye if one may say so.
First when I encountered the school I was confused to think that it was state university.
Then the misleading accrediting agency name to make it sound like one of the regional etc. I don't know how exactly to say but this kind of in my view business model is deceitful. Almost like Columbia State University. But as I see they do have a license from their state to operate. If I'm not mistaken I read on one of the existing web sites that this is an religious exemption license.
Can some one confirm?

[Whatever]

So why is this "misleading"? Did you really think there was a state named Breyer? I don't know about anyone else, but I get kind of tired of the view that everyone else in the world is responsible for what a person SHOULD know. I'd think that one should be smart enough not to be "mislead" by everything they see or hear, or at least do some checking so they wouldn't be so very vulnerable to just anything.
Would you be "mislead" if a restaurant offered a chicken burger? It is not really a burger.... and are people so silly they really believe that they can lose 40 pounds in a week with no dieting or exercise? Those promises are all over the place, but most of us are smart enough to know that it is simply promotion.
Anyone know even ONE person who was TRICKED into going to such a school?
I don't.

[Randall Flagg]

Maybe 1 or 2% of people may be unsure of what Breyer State is, but, 1 or 2% of people probably would be confused by the label on a lawnmower telling them not to stick their hands under it while it is running. Nothing can be made idiot proof, only resistant.

ALL schools put their best side forward, including the accredited ones. Bending the truth seems to be the American way of advertising. I notice John Bear always gave the positives to what he was doing, accredited or unaccredited.

So what do we have? A legal school, Breyer State, that is not one of the best colleges but it does have value and may meet the needs of some students and not those of others. I believe the vast majority of people know exactly what they are doing. They simply wish to bitch and moan if they do it one way and then change their minds later.

I have unaccredited degrees, 2, and accredited degrees, 2. All have met my expectations. And the reason for this? I knew what I wanted, why I wanted it, and what level of work I was willing to do, and how much I was willing to spend.  My education was and is what was needed, for ME. Each person's needs are different and they MUST CAREFULLY look at the choices and make good decisions. But no one is entitled to make them for another person.

Excelsior may be right for one and Harvard for another. UOP would not be my choice, but it may be what another requires. Just as Breyer State is not a choice I would make but another person might well be pleased with a degree from them. It just depends on what you want, why you want it, and what you need. Unaccredited degrees are seen as positive by 97% of the Human Resource Managers, that's not bad at all.

I see...So, you actually think these are states?
Most of us KNOW they are not, and I seriously doubt ANYONE could be "mislead" into thinking they were enrolling in a "state" college.
Are you a physics teacher or something???

[Student]

Ha Ha Ha I'm glad that you know these are not States :-).
I'm replying to an ignorant comment that Breyer is not a state and that every one knows that and its not misleading. For that reason I provided a list of real universities with the word State in their name but actually not named after any US State.
If you read my earlier reply you will see the smiling face next to adding them to the flag.
What I think is that State in the name of unrecognized university is misleading. Remember Columbia State University.
Are you a Breyer graduate or their employee or something?

And there is noting wrong with working as a physics teacher. A specially if the position is in a real academic establishment.

I never have seen Breyers material or spoke to one of their instructors so I have no idea what is the level and quality of the education they provide. I simply don't like their misleading in my view name and accreditation etc.
It apears that there is a lot of negative info on the web about them.

Its a business if they are legitimate than who am I to deside.
What I stated is my initial opinion and noting more I'm not on a mission or hunt.
