Looking for UofPeople experiences

[cardiacclep]

Wondering how many people take a school with this name serious?

I do not think many actually do. I also doubt many of their academic partnerships in reality value it. I would need more proof about statistics to see how many people successfully transfer to UC Berkley etc. Do classes transfer if so? I highly doubt it. Their curriculum looks great but I have many concerns. First, the name University of the People just sounds wrong on multiple levels. They need to change their name to sound something less......well weird. Second, they need to gain RA accreditation. Despite all the negative complaints above, I highly respect the work they are trying to do. This is the future of higher ed in many ways....they are just not their yet on multiple levels. I would love to have this model ported over to some state schools who can clear up the above complaints. I want them to succeed but they need a makeover but this is just my opinion.
