Hello, I came across this university, while searching online for non-traditional universities. web address is: http://www.thedegree.org It interesting to know what you think! not that I am intending to enroll or anything....
I'm too lazy to try to decipher their accreditation page: http://www.thedegree.org/accreditation.html But their main/only(?) accreditation seems to be through "International States Parliament for Safety and Peace (ISPSP)." ... which according to Wikipedia has a rather sordid history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Parliament_for_Safety_and_Peace Their fees don't seem very cheap either. Why would someone bother with such a school?
I am setting up a University of the Universe, trying to get Darth Vader as the Dean. Haven't decided on the accredition, maybe accredition from the Galactic Empire..... It is interesting that the names of the universities sound grander as time goes by.......
What do YOU think? Why did this thing attract your interest? What are your own views regarding it, whether good or bad? What's your general definition of "non-traditional university"?
