As for National University, it is one of the few somewhat affordable MPH programs that are CEPH accredited and offered online. The major difference between National and UOP, Kaplan, ETC is that it is not for profit, but it still has that stigma attached to it.

Tim D Wrote:If I do they are vastly under paying me! As I have never made a penny from them. Rumor has it I have been around distance learning a day or two(National has been around online for a long time, I even looked at them once upon a time). Not nearly as long as some people, however.

That's why I asked if you work for them, because more times than not, some of these schools have employees on staff whose job it is is to search the internet for comments on the school and talk it up. There are anecdotal examples in this forum as well. Nothing wrong if you do. The reps many times actually clear up a lot of issues, but we do appreciate that if you are that it is disclosed.

Not really sure what your third and fourth sentences are trying to convey. Do you mind clarifying?

I went through the whole process of getting admitted into their graduate school and then decided to not enroll. There is too much negative stigma (most people outside my work assume it's like Univ of Phoenix). The discounted tuition was still too high once you converted the quarter credits to semester equivalent, the butt-in-seat time really stunk, and I knew SoCal folks with a different arrangement got a much bigger discount at another private university. Also, too many of my co-workers were going for the single discounted degree program. I was going to compete against my classmates in the future, and I didn't like my odds.

Yes, it was my first post here but I did not want the OP to be misled by bad information(that the school was not RA).
