Ah, yes, I think that might be one of the negative things that was coming up. Good to see they are considered legit now. I’m guessing they cleaned up whatever put them on the naughty list.
I think they were put on the naughty list way back when (prior to 2005?) because they were not accredited. Once you get on those lists it can take YEARS to get off. Texas is not a forgiving state.

I talked to her a little bit today about how things go with the courses there. So, here’s what I found out, in case anyone is curious. Basically, each course has 4 units. Each unit ends with a 25 question quiz and small paper (3-4 pages) and ends with a 100 question final. Quizzes and tests are open book. No interaction with instructors. Just feedback on the papers. You choose your own proctor for the final who basically just gets you access to the test. No video or anything like that. There’s no tutoring and no writing center. It’s basically just you reading a textbook and then answering questions and writing about what you learn.
They do accept ACE credits, for anyone who is interested in that. But i don’t know how much they accept.
I don’t know…. Seems kind of over-priced if you are basically teaching yourself. Might as well just learn on Saylor Academy.

Legitimate, pre-accredited schools are normally not put on diploma mill lists. California Coast University was banned in Texas because the coursework they required was considered "substandard."

To be honest, I can kind of see why it could be considered substandard. I can’t say that they are… but I can see how it’s possible. I’ve talked to a lot of schools recently. Some have really knocked my socks off. This one has not. Maybe if it was a lot cheaper. Seriously. What is the overhead? No tutoring. No writing center. No videos. No interactions. No job placement or career center. Although, I guess it works for my co-worker. It’s useful in her current job and she’s getting reimbursement for most of it.

They're pretty good with their overall reviews, however, that being said, I would still recommend you evaluate your options for your future studies. If you can get an RA at the same price or similar, I would shoot for that first before considering NA/CCU. Find something that is interesting to you and worth the ROI/Value.
Here's an example, you already know about HAU and their $3K MBA, it's RA and can be done in as fast as 18 months. You have tuition assistance or reimbursement for $1500/year. Guess what! Email Dean Martin at HAU and ask her if they can "split" the billing into two years, you need to pay a $375 deposit to hold your seat in the cohort. If they allow the $1500 this year and $1500 next year, you have a FREE MBA that is RA. This is what I would recommend you do! Hi,
What is HAU?
THANX!!!
