Has anyone had experience with Breyer State U.?...

and if so, what can you share about? Thank you.

 

Do you mean - http://www.breyerstate.com/lifeexper.htm?wcw=morevisibility ?

They are not acceditied. Schools that offer degrees for cash (http://www.breyerstate.com/tuition.htm) are degree mills 99.999999% of the time.

Use the search feature to try to uncover more information.

 

They have no legitimate accreditation, nor are they affiliated with any state government. I believe there is some connection with the equally non-wonderful Canyon College.

There are much, much better choices available.

 

Breyer and Canyon

Both schools have some really good and same faculty with terminal degrees from regionally accredited universities. Many of their courses are rigorous. No, they are not regionally accredited but that does not mean they are diploma mills.

 

Re: Breyer and Canyon

Do you have experience with either school?

 

Paging Steve Levicoff...

 

Breyer State and Canyon

Yes, I have written syllabi and taught graduate courses at both schools to students who have undergraduate degrees from regionally accredited schools. I have taught over twenty years at many other on-campus and online regionally accredited schools and still do. I have something to compare my experience at Breyer and Canyon.

 

Steve Levicoff did a little research into Canyon College a few years back. It tells me all I need to know about them, and by association, Breyer State.

 

So?

Please explain your astute observations.

 

facts about Breyer State

Here is Breyer State's accreditation page.

It is accredited by:

• the Central States Consortium of Colleges and Schools, which is part of the American Institute of Health Care Professionals Inc.
• Accreditation Governing Commission-USA

The president of Breyer State is Dominick L. Flarey. The Executive Director of American Institute of Health Care Professionals Inc. is Dominck L. Flarey. The three schools accredited by CSCCS are Canyon College, Breyer State University, and "Southwest University of Health Science (candidate status)." Dominck L. Flarey is listed on the Canyon College faculty roster, as well as being the president of Breyer State and the executive director of the organization which controls this particular Breyer State/Canyon College accreditor.

Accreditation Governing Commission-USA lists Richard Hoyer as its "Chief Accrediting Commissioner." A search of the DegreeInfo boards will show you lots of information about Richard J. Hoyer. Much of it is less than flattering.

In the past, Breyer State degree recipients also received Saint Regis degrees. I do not know if this is still the case-- you might consider contacting Breyer State for current information about this point.

Re: So?

They claim accreditation from a bogus accreditor. The only possible reason to do this is to fool people who don't know about legitimate vs. bogus accreditation. That's dishonest, ethically reprehensible, and just plain slimy.

Oh, and their "campus" is a house. What else exactly do you need to know?

 

Dominick Flaherty

He is the past editor of a national nursing journal, JONA's Healthcare Ethics, Law and Regulations and well thought of in the nursing profession and nursing academia. My point is that because one is part of a school not accredited does not therefore mean the individual is dishonorable or less than a scholar in their profession.

 

Thank you everyone...this is all that I need to know. It was not my intention to 'open a can of worms'.

 

Hi JMS: Welcome to the board. Don't worry about the can of worms--just don't eat 'em.

There's much more tasty DL fare
than worms mill'd fine by old Breyer.

Wait a minute. Are you MHS or JMS?

 

ducks vs. bats

If the DNA assay shows it is genetically indistinguishable from a duck then it might very well be a duck. Pretending that all one knows is that it can fly, and that bats are also known to fly does not make it any less a duck, even though bats are not ducks.

 

Hi galanga:

Oh, g'wan--oops, I mean guano--yer just joshin' us agin.

Hey, ho, po-ta-to
mills grind on in Idaho.

 

what I meant to say...

...was this: imagine a robber shoots up a bank. The video cameras provide a clear record of what happened, and a dozen people recognize him as a bearded realtor who's posted his photo on billboards all over town. At the trial, the witnesses all testify that it was so-and-so, the hairy realtor whose picture is on those billboards. In addition, half of them worked with the perp the last time they bought/sold a house.

Titanic is showing at movie theaters in the town. The defense attorney argues that Leonardo DiCaprio should be considered a suspect too, since he's on as many billboards as the realtor. The defense neglects other relevant facts (half the witnesses had worked with the bad guy, the bad guy had a beard,...) to make its point.

The defense's argument does not stand up to close scrutiny.

LMCarpathianAO!

 

now why did I think of that?

I can't imagine what made me think of a real estate agent - diploma mill connection.

No. It's that every house is not a home. Sometimes, a house is a university.
