I have actually followed a number of your posts and I have to say you come across as intelligent that is why I was shocked when you wrote something off without researching it.
Where do I start,
"If you want to pursue certs then self study. If you want an education, pursue a quality (or better than WGU) University. You don’t have to go to the crème de la crème Universities. But you don’t have to go to diploma mill for-profits either."
WGU is a not for profit, and has been accredited so to call it a diploma mill simply because you feel so is "misleading and unbalanced information"
A simple search of the Department of Education’s website (http://www2.ed.gov/students/prep/college/diplomamills/diploma-mills.html) Defines Diploma mill as such.
“DIPLOMA MILL- The term `diploma mill' means an entity that--
(A)(i) offers, for a fee, degrees, diplomas, or certificates, that may be used to represent to the general public that the individual possessing such a degree, diploma, or certificate has completed a program of postsecondary education or training; and (ii) requires such individual to complete little or no education or coursework to obtain such degree, diploma, or certificate; and
(B) lacks accreditation by an accrediting agency or association that is recognized as an accrediting agency or association of institutions of higher education (as such term is defined in section 102) by--
(i) the Secretary pursuant to subpart 2 of part H of title IV; or (ii) a Federal agency, State government, or other organization or association that recognizes accrediting agencies or associations.â€
Now I have shown you that the school is accredited by all accrediting agencies, also by the Department of Education, so by the definition of the Department of Education, I am sorry to say but you have no clue what you are talking about.
Now as previously stated you appear to be an intelligent person, so please do your research and ask yourself why all these accrediting agencies do not satisfy your requirement, as I said earlier you are entitled to your opinion but not your own set of facts, please drop this because you have not listed one credible source (other than your brain) that supports your argument, I on the other hand have listed several sources not only credible sources but legitimate organizations that accredit universities all over the United States accept reality, you are way out of your depth on this one.
