I guess all I can say is that I disagree, our experiences certainly aren't equal with regards to research. I worked at a Regionally Accredited college (North Central, ACBSP, NLNAC, ect..) and didn't find what you seem to have found. Our IS programs were under the ACBSP since they're part of the Business department.

I am curious, and even a bit confused. With your opinion with regards to distance learning vs. traditional learning why you would choose to pursue CLEP exams? They certainly fall outside the realm of traditional learning.

Interesting, IS may be different, I do not know. I would expect the professors who teach IS to have a doctorate in math or CS. But who knows? It would be interesting to here what you experienced in your IS program.

As for the CLEPS, I have a half year of bullshit classes I have to knock out. The classes I am CLEPPING, are mostly classes I took in highschool, so I have already had experience with them. But CLEPS are different then online learning, as CLEPS are for students who already have a profound knowledge in a subject because of passed experiences. You obviously can't get a degree with just CLEPS, that would be ridiculous (why even have a degree for knowledge you already knew?).

The real reason I resorted to CLEPS is because my summer classes were canceled, so I had no other choice but to try and CLEP some of the bullshit classes.
