Genuine question. Why do people care what the degree looks like? As in the actual sheet of paper that's printed. I see many people on this forum comment on the way the printed degrees look and that has me curious. I've never cared what my degrees looked like. I just wanted my name, the school, degree, and date on it. It could be on toilet paper for all I care.....then again that might be a hot commodity and very valuable these days.
One thing with looking at NU's website.....it's got a lot of about prisoners as students. Not saying it's bad for people incarcerated to get their education. But if you've never in prison, I'm not sure this would be the best school. If a potential employer looks up the school and sees all of the prison talk on the website, they may think you've lied on your application and you have a prison record which leads to you not being hired. Something to think about. When I worked in HR, I had to look up a lot of info about people before they would be called for an interview and checking out their college - if it wasn't local - was one of the things I had to look up.
