Cambridge Online/Univ. of Action learning

Any info on these? Ran across the MBA from Cambridge online. It is somehow affiliated with this school in Boulder, which is DETC accredited. Is this THE Cambridge University? If so, why the DETC accredited affiliation and not a better US school?

 

They use Cambridge's external exam network. You get a Diploma from Cambridge which you can turn in for 2 years' credit to the University of Action Learning. What that is, I dunno.

 

Well, the University of Action Learning-Boulder sounds dodgy at best. Why would Cambridge align themselves this way? Is there some validity to University of action learning, even though it is DETC accredited?
Getting a degree from Cambridge would be fantastic, it just sounds strange getting it this way. Any experience or knowledge of UALB out there?

 

John, there are others that are affiliated with U.A.L at Bolder. In fact back in October this was discussed and with particular reference to, http://www.i-m-c.org and http://www.c-s-m.org.

The Cambridege thing, dont know too much, you may want to contact Cambridge and/or U.A.L.

Cheers.

John.

 

I don't believe this is University of Cambridge but a company called Cambridge Online Learning. They apparently are approved as a testing center for The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate which is a dept of the University of Cambridge but not the University itself. Confused yet? I am, but I think it is clear these are business entities and not the University itself.
