TECH Universidad Technologica - Kab - 05-19-2022
I agree, I do not like it neither. Thats why I wanted to make distinction. At the same time to insist that as the mayor goes they have most of their study time on it, with few or none other subjects in a wider perspective. So, in the subject their graduated they should know about it. But that can be normal to teach at master level without a master... Is difficult, for me, to find it correct.
RE: TECH Universidad Technologica - sanantone - 05-19-2022
In the U.S., those teaching graduate courses without a graduate degree are most often lecturers, visiting professors, or adjuncts. It looks strange to see that the one and only instructor for a master's program only has a bachelor's degree, and it also looks strange that there's only one instructor for a program that can enroll an unlimited number of students. The psychopedagogy instructor is a special education teacher, and he appears to be in his late 20s or early 30s.
In regards to this school, Spanish customs and laws are irrelevant. This particular school is located in Mexico.

That's pretty much the level of regular instructor you're going to get with the type of school in question. These educational center type schools that have a ton of courses across a ton of different disciplines are hiring in large quantity. But most of the time, they don't have any direct interaction with students. Grading is done by assistants, and the instructor (sometimes a single instructor) oversees the class operations and only steps in when there is a real issue.

I see that. But when I click on the Psychopedagogy heading and don't click on any of the other options below that, it takes me here:
https://www.techtitute.com/educacion/masters-psicopedagogia
There it lists 222 teachers for that group. I've seen one other course there list 1 teacher, and another that lists 8. They probably assign one or more main instructors depending on the course, but use labor from the pool as needed.

That's why I was careful in using the term "Spanish-speaking regions". Even though Mexico and Spain are obviously not the same, the program setup like the one we're discussing is common to both countries.

Based my research regarding this university, last year I was trying to apply, but I asked them some question regarding credits transfer, and they said that they do not take transferred credits they said you need to do the whole career. One thing I found that several student claims they are a fraud, you will not get an official diploma. So I recommend do not waste your time, I'm from Latin America and I can tell you all the classes are taught in Spanish.
If you notice, the phone number on their website is not from Mexico, but from Spain.
I share here a link where some students are reporting some scams.

Most of those instructors have degrees in unrelated fields, and when you click on their pictures, their profiles don't list the psychopedagogy program. They teach in other programs that fall under the education department. Also, some of them are non-faculty staff members instead of instructors. It's not the most organized website.

Calling it a fraud may be a step too far. The school is legitimately recognized in Mexico. It could be substandard though, but that's a different matter.
RE: TECH Universidad Technologica - sanantone - 05-20-2022
I'm a pragmatic person, though. If their RVOE programs are evaluated as being equivalent to accredited degrees in the U.S., and you just need to check the box, I'd say go for it. Upon one visit to the website, they offered a professional master's for $995 with a promotional code.
RE: TECH Universidad Technologica - eLearner - 05-26-2022
Does anyone know how the scheduling works with this program? I couldn't find it on the site, but I'm curious to know if it's synchronous or totally asynchronous/independent study where you have access to everything and can finish as slowly or as quickly as you want to?
RE: TECH Universidad Technologica - Johann766 - 05-26-2022
Well I guess pretty much every meaningful company is manipulating their online reviews. I still haven't found out whether Tech is offering PhD programs

I see one Doctorate here and it's most likely a PhD: http://www.sep.gob.mx/work/models/sep1/Resource/11274/29/images/federales_vig_Oct21_K-T.pdf
TECH MÉXICO UNIVERSIDAD TECNOLÓGICA (GRANADA) - Doctorado - EN CIENCIAS DE LA COMUNICACIÓN
But I don't see it being offered at the site: https://www.techtitute.com/us/
