MA from an accredited NON PROFIT college in one callander year or less?

Friend is very sick and has a lifelong dream of an MA. If possible, he'd like to teach at a CC.

Undergrad - History and philosophy.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

 

It's probably possible anywhere, but it's not practical.

Enroll in any MA program without a thesis and take about 4 classes every semester and he/she will finish in a year. That's probably more than most people can handle, though, especially someone who's not feeling well.

 

Northeastern Online Degree Programs | Northeastern University Online offers a variety 12-month programs:

Bellevue University Degrees & Programs | Bellevue University has a number of programs. The cohorts finish in 18 months. The non-cohorts could finish in a year if classes are taken 2 at a time.

Liberty University http://www.liberty.edu/online/degrees/masters/ has a ton of options. Same thing as Bellevue...Take 2 at a time and finish in 12 months.

 

Take one class per month from National University. Knock out a MA in History in 12 months.

Master of Arts in History

 

Going with a non profit is one thing, but who are they accredited by? That is just as important if not more. My suggestion, find a non profit school with regional accreditation.

Keep in mind not all graduate degrees are the same, some can be tackled in about 1 year, others can take 2-3 years. It really depends on your major and how many units you take on any given semester.

 

And it may be complicated further if programmatic accreditation is considered. For example, the University of Phoenix (ACBSP) and the University of Chicago (AACSB) do not have the same accreditor in terms of programmatic accreditation in business.

 

I'd hate to see this thread spiral into a RA vs NA debate, or a debate on the importance of programmatic accreditation. These things tend to be FAR more important in academia than in the professional world. As a general rule, your degree will be looked at favorably if it is regionally accredited and earned from a school with a good reputation, or with no reputation at all.

 

I would also add that, while certainly not a deal breaker, schools with a real B&M campus tend to be viewed as more legitimate.

 

I always stress this. It's almost always better to have a degree from a school with no reputation than one with a bad reputation.

 

I'm not sure what your friend's focus is... but here is a MA in Military History from the UK that can be accomplished in 12 months through DL. According to the information given on the page, it's one of the few Masters degrees in Military History that exist around the world.
