If it were me, I'd be doing some legwork to find out what reputation they have.
Contact potential employers and find out.
Ask others working in this field.
Are they listed in the MacLeans listings when they rate universities?
And I'm sure there's other ways to find out more about them.
Online education certainly is expanding and being well received by employers. However, from what I know, most of them have been linked to recognized universities.
Not that this organization is not given as much credibility ... I'd just do my research and know before investing my $$ and time!
Good Luck!
Yes, I also saw their ads on TV.
You've raised lots of valid points.
I will certainly ask lots of questions and check employers.
There are a couple of local places where I would like to apply for a job, so I will contact those and see what they know about this school.
Thanks again.
