    Anyone knows about this university? Are their credits accepted? Also if someone could tell me if this degree is accepted in Dubai. Thanks a bunch everyone

    I believe Washington International University is unaccredited, so the usefulness of a degree from there would be limited. Some employers might recognize it, but for the most part, a degree from there would not be honored. Especially not by an accredited school for the transfer of credits in the USA. I have no idea if it would be accepted in Dubai, sorry.

    Thanks Michael. Needed to confirm it's worth my time. I might go for an australian degree coz i'll be moving there later. You know any online australian universities offering degrees in teaching, preferably where i can do Bachelor's & Master's degrees together. Thank you very much

    I'm afraid I know nothing about Australian degrees. Maybe someone else here does. If you are wanting to get your degree online, you could attend any one of many great online schools.

    Thanks Michael. I'm waiting for someone to reply as there's a huge choice & I don't know where to start. I prefer doing both Bachelor's & Master's degrees in Education together. Hopefully someone can help me out here :D

    Totally fake. Had been "Washington University" until they were successfully sued by the real Washington University in St. Louis.Degrees would not be recognized in Duibai or anywhere else.

    Yeah I was born in Dubai & thanks John for the heads up. It was recommended to me by a friend but I had some doubts when I went through their site. Just 3 book reports for Bachelor's & Master's...

    Aquarius, now you have an answer from a true expert in the field. If Dr. Bear says it's bad, you should avoid it.

    Thanks guys... sorry I replied to you John but the post isn't showing. i thanked you for the heads up. Any info/recommendations/suggestions you have will be appreciated. Michael you have been totally helpful too since this is my first thread here. Thanks a bunch.

    I'm exploring options & since I was born in Dubai, getting reliable info about universities is very important to me. Got burnt once when I did 2 semesters of BBA at the Dubai campus of an American university & found out it's totally fake. Liberty University has replied now, so I would appreciate feedback on them.

    Liberty U is good. It is a Christian school but offers high quality academics and good regional accreditation. SACS I believe. I have heard that it's not too expensive.

    If you're thinking about an Australian degree by distance learning there really are not that many choices. Maybe a half-dozen. Start here:

    aww Michael you're making me blush lol... yeah at the moment I'm doing my Certificate in Child Psychology (which i might complete in August hopefully if the last book reaches on time) so I can take the fall classes.

    You have no idea how it is at times. If it's an easy topic, I try to continue even when she's awake & she wants to be involved in that too.

    Loves looking at the pictures lol. It has pregnancy pictures which she loves coz I tell her that is how she looked when she was in Mama's tummy. She's hooked onto them lol

    Aquarius, I was just looking at Charter Oak for you. That seems like it might be worth a look. I wonder what other members think about it.

    Does anyone else on the board have any input about Charter Oak? MC, I know you recommend it. I have heard good things and I think it's RA. Right? It's also inexpensive, I have heard.
