    Hey, all...

    Well, we're trying again on the transfer to our new server :) The DegreeFinder database is now alive and available for use (absolutely free), so please check it out and let us know what you think.

    There are a few "bugs" in the database, and we're missing a bit of data here and there that will be added in the next few days, but we'd love to hear if there's anything you find that's incorrect, inconsistent, or if there are regionally accredited schools you know of that aren't listed... it's our goal to make this the most complete database of schools available anywhere on the 'Net.

    And, as I mentioned during our previous attempt at transitioning to the new server, the "featured schools" that sponsor the database pay us a small fee for each person we send them who requests information... so if you are looking for a program and want to consider any of our featured school partners, it would be great if you could request information through the links either on the "featured school" page or from the database entry.

    As always, your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

    Thanks from the DegreeInfo team!

    Just a thought, but how about at least listing the url for the school if not a link to their home page?

    Oops!

    As for Northcentral, it wasn't RA at the time we did the major research work on the database last fall.

    I have no idea why Liberty and the others aren't listed... but we're definitely still working out some bugs and a few errors, so please let us know of any school you think should be in there that isn't.

    Thanks!

    CSUDH.

    U. of Sunderland's MA in Buddhist studies.

    It isn't RA, but you might want to include the Academy of Art College. (They are accredited by ACICS, NASAD and in the case of their BFA and MFA in interior design, by FIDER).

    Mansfield University's BA in art history.

    I tried masters level in business, and got two schools (AIU and U. of London).

    Perhaps I'm not using this thing properly.

    No, actually I don't think it's you... right now, we're having some issues with the "majors" table, in that a bunch of majors are missing or miscategorized, but we're working to get those updated.

    Please keep the corrections and suggested additions coming... while it's been a pretty massive undertaking to get the research done to create the database in the first place, we're pretty excited about having it available as a resource for everyone to use.
