Nations U BACHELOR in religious studies, who's done it?

I would see the prison issue in the same way that you see the diploma look issue. It's a non-issue. I've never even looked into it as a student. This is the first time that I've heard about the prison students posing a problem. You can find tons of colleges which also serve this population in some capacity. Plus it's not like this is a university for the incarcerated, or anything like that.

I'm looking at it from an HR perspective not a student perspective. There's a difference between offering education programs to prisoners and advertising such programs all over your website. Many state schools have programs for prisoners but you don't see it all over the school website and it's not their focus. The inmate program comes across as a major focus of the school. As someone in HR, it could look like you omitted something from your past if they look at this website. That's what I'm saying.

If I go for this degree, it also wouldn't go on my resume either. It's NA, which "doesn't count" in Germany, and irrelevant for the career path I want. But the thought literally never even crossed my mind that some people might think that I got the degree while in prison. But you can get other degrees while in prison, so I don't see why NationsU is special.

https://www.prisonerresource.com/corresp...te-degree/ TESU, Rio Salado, and several other universities discussed on this board all have programs that are recommended for use by prisoners.


The issue from an HR perspective is that they seem to be a prisoner program and not much else. It's also NA and a religious school so you can't get a degree in business or liberal arts - just religious degrees - which won't help most people in most jobs.
