Does Phoenix online not qualify???

Some real powerhouses on this list.


Although I do notice our arch-nemesis Regent up there laughing at us.

If you click the link, they check in at #27

LeTourneau is a college in East Texas that has essentially been the only Christian engineering program in the country until we started ours. So they are somewhat attached to us as well.

LeTourneau sets up campuses in major cities to combine with their online programs.

Considering the fact we had several of the folks out front on the DL program leave in the past year it would appear this is a good sign.

WOW...27????? I guess they made all their money first

Their school has a 63,000 seat stadium with a field that can move out of the building. We've just got a 12,000 seat stadium with a field that's attached to the ground

University of Phoenix is all about volume, the money they make is ridiculous.

But honestly, what would you think of your boss if you walked in his office and saw a University of Pheonix diploma on the wall? Or DeVry? I think you most likely would be walking into his cubicle instead. And you would think less of him

I should have read this more carefully this wasnt a volume type study


LUconn to be honest the executives I know all tell me they could careless where it's from but just need to make sure it's there for certain job requirements....will you work for NASA? Prob not but will it keep you from becoming a partner at a company...also prob not

So do you think a degree from LU means more than from anywhere else? If you do, you are wrong.

yeah, its also not particularly hard to get.

MBA program = easy IMO. that being said, i happily end all my emails with M.B.A.

doesn't matter where its from, just that its there.

Who said more? No, what I'm saying is it means just as much as others for certain job's...there is not one CEO that know who wouldnt give a promotion to someone b/c they have a MBA from Phoenix or LU Distance Learning.....there are certain elite schools that are held in certain regards although there arent many


all I'm saying is, if you perform well in a business and an executive job opens up having a Masters from a online school will not be what keeps you from getting it

I'm pretty sure if you graduate from LU DLP your diploma just says LU. No one would know you took DLP unless you told them.

Now the MBA is obviously only DLP so that would be a little easier to figure out

I'm sure an Ivy league degree would come with certain advantages...conections that would help advance a career. Although my LU degree sure helped me with the DFD!
