Cato Institute Supports Academic Freedom

Apparently these no-book no-test "working adult schools" receive the the same accreditation equivalency as traditional schools where the course load is 4 years of fulltime study, where students satisfy a substantial curriculum of 12 class hours a week, with extensive homework, papers, test taking, book reading, and time invested at home.

Excelsior College, the scam school where one can obtain a college degree in under three hours by taking a single easy test, also receives the same accreditation as traditional schools.

The State of New Jersey scams the shit out of tens of thousands of its own citizens with their single easy test diplomas, yet their schools remain fully accredited.

Walden University was operating for a time where students could graduate by taking only four courses and graduate in a few months time, yet accreditors always told us that a Walden degree is equivalent to any other brick and mortar university.

I'm not sure if they still do it, but in its early years Walden was even running short-paper dissertation-only PhD programs. They were literally awarding PhDs based on an essay.

Typical meaningless joke schools which are regularly accredited and endorsed.

I guess I wasted my time at Kennedy-Western actually having to study when I could have went to Walden and got a "real" degree just by writing a bullshit essay!

Hey, do you recall those commercials for education connection with that hottie in her underware talking about going to college in her PJs and talking about not picking the wrong online school? I watched that and thought to myself, "yea she is definately smart enough to make it through a regionally accredited school."
