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?
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.
