    1. Is it likely to be around since Apollo Group (owner of it and Phoenix) apparently experienced earnings losses?

    2. How does it compare (cost and quality) with American College?

    3. Rate the M.S. in Personal Financial Planning.

    4. Hours of study per week for one graduate course at a time.

    5. What level of math is needed for M.S. in Personal Financial Planning?

    6. Is their accreditation good enough for teaching in other colleges and universities in the U.S.?

    I doubt it's in danger of folding. Even in the unlikely event that its parent company went belly up it would get sold, it wouldn't just close.

    It looks like the cost isn't too bad at $800 per course. No idea about the quality other than it's regionally accredited, which IMHO is necessary but insufficient as a determination on that.

    As far as whether their accreditation is adequate to teach in other schools, yes, but since it's a degree in financial planning and not finance, you may find yourself overlooked for finance gigs, which are more numerous. I know that sounds inane, but I used to work at Keiser College and their VP of Academics told me specifically that a degree in financial planning would do me no good should one wish to teach finance there.

    Good luck,
