http://www.trinitysem.edu/DegreePrograms/BritishMBA.html Does anyone have any comments on this program? I know there has been some negative press on this here, but I thought this was an interesting program. I don't remember it being discussed here at all.
My only comment is why would anyone attend an unaccredited, discredited institution like this when there are so many alternatives? Discussing it is like discussing Holocaust Denial. It gives it the appearance of legitimacy.
Since this is a DL discussion website I had the crazy idea that discussing it would be OK. Crazy me. I don't know much about them, so I thought I would ask. From my recollection there has not been any discussion about the e-MBA that they offer. From my understanding they are in fact accredited. At least I thought they were.
That's fair. Unfortunately, no, they claim accreditation from some bogus entity which in my opinion makes them worse than unaccredited. I'd keep looking. Good luck, -=Steve=-
They were, at one time, candidates for regional accreditation through the North Central Association, but they no longer are, so far as I know.
Ted: "They were, at one time, candidates for regional accreditation through the North Central Association, but they no longer are, so far as I know." John: John Fyffe, former senior executive at Trinity, produced an extremely detailed report documenting what he said were a great many terrible things Trinity was doing, ranging from financial chicanery to disguising a room where incriminating files were kept so that the visiting team from North Central wouldn't see it. At the time (Spring, 2006), he made his report available to those who requested it . . . and he sent copies to the North Central Association, which shortly after, without commenting, canceled what was probably going to have been the final team visit before granting accreditation. Trinity threatened to sue Fyffe if he did not retract his statements. He didn't, and they haven't. I had concerns about this institution since the days when they operated from Ohio as the Toledo Bible College, and quite a negative article on them appeared in a major religious magazine, I think Christianity Today.
Thanks for the input, guys. I wasn't considering the degree for myself. I started looking into it after a customer of mine told me he was going to cemetery...er...I mean seminary. After I asked him where he was going he shared with me sheepishly that it would be DL. It's funny how some of us have at one time been afraid to share that we have a DL degree. But I digress...this is why I originally brought it up. I thought at one time they had one of the CHEA recognized accrediters behind them. Am I off on this?
