Diploma Appearances

[smartdegree]

Have to admit that the UMPI diploma looks far more impressive to me than the TESU one. UMPI looks like it is a degree granted by the state of Maine. That automatically makes it legit and unquestionable for someone who has no knowledge of UMPI. Whereas with TESU, you have to google it to make sure it's not a diploma mill or something (primarily because Thomas Edison is not the name of a state / city so it sounds weird to have "State" in their name).

Basically just saying how the name of a school and its affiliation greatly influences perception at a subconscious level. I am sure both UMPI and TESU are equally as good, just that for someone not in the know, UMPI "sounds" and looks better.
