Several quick points:
1. Janko and Levicoff have no background whatsoever in psychology and I value their opinions on graduate psychology programs accordingly.
2. Janko can't pull the "professional accreditation" (like ABET for engineering) card since his alma mater, Earlham College's School of Religion did not/does not have the "professional accreditation" in the field for which he was awarded his undergraduate degree.
3. Levicoff basically aggregated a bachelor's degree (from TESC) and a doctorate. (I don't think he even bothered with a master's; he received a non-traditional, largely DL PhD from Union Institute & University) I'm not criticizing him for it (Dennis may, however) but am merely pointing out that Lev did very little formal coursework during his academic career.
4. If I had a question about the airbrakes or the transmission on my truck I'd ask Levicoff. If I was wondering about the quality and utility of a new, largely DL degree in psychology, I'd make some serious inquiries but it would certainly not be of Lev or Uncle Janko.
5. Before I enrolled I'd talk to people in the field currently in the profession, and perhaps people in a related field with significant DL experience like Jimmy Clifton and Jack Tracey. I would also check with prospective employers to see how such a degree program may be viewed.
6. How can Janko and Levicoff be so down on a program or programs due to their perceived lack of rigour when they seem to encourage losers like Pugbelly ansd Sowak777 in their pursuit of bogus FEMA credits?
