    I don't think I've seen this school mentioned before. It has several interesting programs, including a Master of Environmental Policy and Mgmt (someone was looking for a ChemE or Environmental Engineering program, recently), a certificate in Geographical Information Systems, Master of CIS, Master of Telecommunications, Master of Applied Communication and a Master of Technology Mgmt. The online programs are in the "University College" division of the University of Denver: http://www.universitycollege.du.edu/

    Yup, we got 'em all on page 136 of Bears' Guide (14th ed.).

    Still hoping the publisher will work out
    some means of getting the database, not
    just the update, online.

    Yes--"DU" --as it's colloqially know as in Colorado (something about the Great Plains--BIg 8 athletic conference region
    has the letter orders reversed! hence the University of Kansas is " KU" -- the University of Colorado is "CU")--is well-known and respected in the region.

    It once had active Ph.D. programs, but repositioned itself in the 80s as a master's, Law and Business school, s well as a preppy undergrad university (4-5,000 students).

    The outreach division is "University College," for under grad degree completion, computer/telecom training,
    foreign languages, and online degrees.

    What's interesting is that not only can you mix and match flexible online and traditional classes in the Env. Mgmt. program (and others, including their MLA degree program), but that other schools are doing the same (e.g., johns Hopkins University).

    Flexibility is the watchword in reaching out
    to busy professionals needing graduate qualifications.
    Is Phoenix University the marketing model being followed here?
    (It seems so to me.)
