Credit for Industry Certs

Those schools are not accreddited by any sound organization. What most online/distance learning schools do is create their own accrediation organization, then say they are accreddited. Use common sense to figure it out, if these schools lack sufficent faculty and research, how are they going to be accreddited by an sound organization?

Uhh? The subject GRE are used for graduate admissions. I have never heard of people getting credit for passing the GRE (seems like these online colleges went over board in EVERYTHING). Another reason why you would not be admitted into a graduate program with a lib arts degree.

The only thing left to do is give credit to students for watching tv or some other activity you do to relax. This is absolutly ridiculous.

Spazz, you obviously know nothing about accreditation, distance learning, or challenge exams. It's one thing to believe that the degree is worthless because of an "unwritten bias by nearly all employers/traditional colleges," but if you cannot believe what others tell you, and you can't be bothered to click on a link to view accreditation, why comment at all? Everyone here suggests research on the degree you chose prior to spending time and money on it, and we point out links to accreditation, and talk with admissions officials, and try to help eachother out with our own experiences. Just because you can't "believe" in online degrees, testing out, or lib arts degrees, doesn't have any bearing or relevance to anyone else. Be helpful and post a link to a top company that won't hire someone with a lib arts degree, or a distance ed degree... Otherwise, what's your point?
