Marketing Psychology. Which one is better?

Hello Everyone,

It's been a while that Ive been searching for a good distance course from marketing. I found two institutions that provide this course. First is: ACS Distance Education and the second: ADL - Academy for Distance Learning.
The content of a course is exactly the same.

I would like to know if there is anyone who can provide me some info about any of these??

Thanks for help,
Paolka

 

Both of these organizations seem to be connected to eachother, ex on the Academy for Distance Learning site they say they are "affiliated with ACS Distance Education":
About Us | ADL - Study from Home, Distance Learning, Home Education, UK

Both also mention being accredited by "International Accreditation & Recognition Council" (IARC) which is an unrecognized accreditation organization ... ex, the Michigan government will not recognize a school/degree which has this kind of accreditation:

I'd suggest looking elsewhere to earn your degree. Either do marketing or psychology or a double-major, plenty of online schools offer one or the other, or you could find both, or do a liberal studies kind of program and build your own custom curriculum if you really want to study both.

Thank you emmzee for you answer.

Basicly, I'm not looking a degree itself, rather a course finishing with a certificate. Also, I live in Europe and I doubt I will ever want to do a degree in the USA.

I was just wondering if this institution is good and I will not pay for nothing.

Thanks,

Emzee pointed out that the degree is not accredited by a recognized agency. You should probably avoid a school that is involved with an unknown accreditor. The certificate you earn from them might not be honored by many employers. I'm sorry I can't offer you any alternatives. Hopefully someone else will.
