My below query has received a cool welcome,when hideen in a slightly related thread ----------- Sorry to butt in to this with an off topic question. what do you think about Fordham University in New York and particularly it's business faculty... Your opinions will be highly appreciated Thanks
From their web site it looks like they only offer 2 Masters degrees by DL for teachers. While the school isn't ivy league , I would say it has a very good reputation.
Dave, Thanks for your comment.The business faculty do offer some international programs hosted at a foreign university........if i mention Fordham,will people (American)be able to recognize the brand in the States?
I've heard of it and I suspect it must be amongst the more well respected US schools. A degree from Fordham is superior to 95 % of the distance programs that are usually mentioned here. An excellent choice.
Dennis, Thanks for your insight. Is fordham better than Boston University,Penn State and Indiana University(the main campus)... Would appreciate your insight again...
Just an opinion but I think it easily would fit in with the schools you mention. Whether it is more respected, I'm really not sure, but I suspect it may be.
Perceptions may vary. Fordham is a Jesuit school that a generation back may have been associated with Irish Catholics wishing a good education within their traditions. It is today functionally secular with religious pursuit available. Dennis Ruhl's comments are probably true.
I am a little confused. What foreign university? While Fordham is well repsected, I am unsure any third party ventured would also be. Why not post a couple of links and we can give you more accurate feedback?
US News & World Report.... Has Fordham listed as tied for 84th out of the top 100 on their national rankings. Neither they nor Business Week ranks their business program in the top 50. Business Week has Indiana University ranked 20th and Penn State as a top 50. Boston University is in the 3rd tier with Fordham. Doesn't mean they're a bad school, that's just the rankings.
