Unaccredited schools- all degree mills??

[Virtual Bison]

I imagine KWU got too big and was making too much money selling their easier degrees, and, they were easier, but isn't that exactly why people use Excelsior and others of the type. Most older people want degrees that can be obtained in a year or less and that don't cost too much. Bear found this out many years ago, hence his these state licensed schools are just fine. Now he does his these easier accredited schools are just fine. Don't you doubt for a minute he will dump people who have these UOP/Excelsior degrees if it benefits him more. I can hear him now. "I never said that UOP offered degrees of the same level as Harvard or MIT. Only a fool would believe that all accredited schools are accepted the same." Yep, that would be just like our Bear. Only too ready to leave a sinking ship in the FIRST life boat.

Kennedy Western just got a little too rich-a little too easy- a little too fast. It wasn't a degree mill, it just wasn't very good and made a good target for people who needed sone target practice.

Good assessment. KWU or WNU as it later became known as, was certainly not the best school but it was not the worst either. There are several accredited schools which are far worse. I think there is a general disdain within the academic community for any for profit school. I even saw schools like DeVry or Phoenix being shunned by the tradional elitists. Oddly enough, the DeVry grads I know are actually better equipt at dealing with real world problems then grads of brick-and-mortor schools. This particularly true in the IT field.
