Question (repost from Shaun) re Union and Touro

[Moderator note: This thread copied from the MIGS forum so it would get more responses]

Gus,

I read your posts concerning MIGS. What an eye opener. I have been considering applying there for my graduate work. Thank you for saving my bacon.

You talked about the "Union", not to sound uneducated, but what is it you are reffering to. I am assuming the "John" you are reffering to in your postings is John Bear? If so, this "Union" already has credibility. I am finishing up a distance learning BSITM through Touro University Int'l, you mentioned them previously, do you like their program? I am finding it quite good.

I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
Shaun Johnson

The Union Institute in Ohio is a highly regarded, regionally accredited school. There are a number of posters here who have been learners (students) at Union, and a number of others who have been faculty advisors, and at least one who has been both.

Even more interesting, Union recently purchased Vermont College, formerly part of Norwich University. Vermont also offers some interesting and innovative degrees, and operates a rather unique, concentration-focused semester program even at the undergraduate level, where students spend each semester working on a major project (individually developed with their faculty mentor/sponsor) that is worth 15 semester hours.

Touro is also spoken about fairly frequently; others can say much more than I, but the comments I've heard have nearly all been favorable.

Best of luck!
