    YES!!!

    I finally earned my Bachelors degree in Electronics Engineering Technology from World College CIE.
    I am very happy and impressed with the instructors, administrators and the dean.

    Unlike with many other universities here I got personalized treatment, no email went unanswered, there was always instructor available to assist, the administration always ready to answer and handle requests.

    I'm very busy adult who is employed full time and razing children, what I was looking for is flexibility, affordability, and recognized accreditation. World College offered all, monthly payments of 125 $, ability to study on my own time, and nationally accredited degree.

    I strongly recommend World College.

    WGU MBA is next on my list.

    Congratulations! Finishing any degree, but especially the first degree, undoubtedly feels great. Enjoy the achievement. Out of curiosity is the BEET ABET accredited?

    Good luck as you embark upon studying towards the MBA at Western Governors University.

    Congrats!

    I am also a recent World College BEET graduate, and I am now enrolled at AMU in the Space Studies MS program.

    By the way, the program isn't ABET accredited.

    Thanks,

    The BEET I earned is not ABET accredited. I'm aware of the ABET accreditation
    importance and RA accreditation advantages as well.
    My transfer credit from earlier college days wasn't ABET accredited, nor it was RA so I looked at additional cost and years of education taking the EC or TESC rout.
    In my situation the RA or ABET is in category of good to have for others its maybe a must to have.

    As I said I was just curious because there seem to be very few ABET accredited distance education options for earning an EE degree. The tuition at WorldCollege and Cleveland Institute of Technology is reasonable especially if the general education requirements have already been completed and transferred into the BEET.

    For anyone interested in engineering degrees:

    DETC accredited California National university also offers bachelors degrees including EE
    http://www.cnuas.edu/default.aspx
    Again not ABET.

    RA and ABET accredited University of North Dakota offers several bachelor degrees in engineering including EE

    Labwork however is done on campus.

    Ian,

    These are good options as well.

    CNU offers The Bachelor of Science in Engineering degrees with electives in computer, electrical, environmental, mechanical engineering.
    Its unique. I know only one person with such degree and he is also very happy with CNU and the opportunities the degree offers.

    I do recommend to earn ABET accredited EE or EET degree.
    In my case I made decision based on transfer credit, time, cost and flexibility that is best suiting my situation today. The beauty of living in free society.
    I also will be getting return on investment as my employer updated my job description with additional responsibilities and pay level.
    Noting dramatic but it will help.

    I actually found World College in Bears Guide.

    North Dakota appears to be the better choice.

    CNU interestingly calls their BsEng degrees with electives, unusual to me.

    Roger congratulations on earning a BEET degree.

    Congratulations

    Congratulations RogerG!

    That's awesome!

    I am looking at the same degree an I also am raising kids with a full time job. How many courses did you manage to complete in a calendar year and how much did the textbooks cost?

    cheers!

    I was going at rate one course a month, some classes are like labs are only 2 semester credits some classes are 4 semester credits, most are 3. My final Engineering Sr Design Project took 2.5 months.
    Anyway I earned 38 credits, was able to transfer 101 credits.

    The text books cost was between 70 to 110 USD.
    The College has Book buy back program, so you can sell the text book back to the college.

    The rase I got as a result of earning the degree wile modest, it already returned my investment.
