aka - The National Labor College They are a candidate for RA, accept clep and presumably dantes/ece/tecep tests, require only 30 sh's to be earned from them, and are reasonably priced at $90/sh for union members. Of course, they also require a week-long residency at the beginning of every semester. Does anyone know anything about this school? Thanks, Tony edited to add link http://www.georgemeany.org/
The George Meany center is very well regarded in Union and other Labor circles. They are partnered with the UMass Amherst Labor studies department to offer a Distance M.A. in Labor Studies. Although that program has some very limited residency requirement (1 week a year, I believe) It is otherwise distance. The program is meant for those interested in union leadership, and it has a very liberal admission policy. I considered it at one time but decided to go a different grad route (and subject). I work with a gentleman who graduated and he had very good things to say about it. With a UMASS degree you get RA and instant name recognition.
