Madison Univ. Eliminates the PhD Programs

At the present, Madison University throw away the doctorates, why the changes?

http://www.madisonu.com/tuition.html

 

This move has been, in recent cases, a precursor to applying for DETC accreditation. Southwest, Andrew Jackson, CCU, and others did it successfully. Century and SCUPS failed in their bids and restored the doctoral programs.

But you know all of this already, of course.

One wonders when we'll hear from MRS. Latin Juris....

 

Degree Mill

I thought I read it awhile back, that Madison is a degree mill.

 

Will currently enrolled PhD students be allowed to complete their academic coursework and dissertation?

Do their credit cards still work?

Re: Degree Mill

Madison says it is accredited by WAUC. (That's Maxine Asher's organization.) It also lists National Academy of Higher Education on its accreditation page. NAHE lists these as "Accredited Members":

American Coastline University
American University Of London
American Academy High School
Bircham International University
Concordia College and University
International College Of Homeland Security
International University of Fundamental Studies
Irish International University
JLF University
JLF University Medical School
Lacrosse University
Madison University (Accreditation Candidate)
Tecana International University
Technology Education College
The International University.

That should tell you something.

It certainly does. It tells us to run quickly in the other direction

Madison of Gulfport is a strange animal. If you step back and think and look at them, you could say if they'd just adjusted and tighten up there requirements they'd have some credibility. Of all this mills Madison could go legit if they'd tighten it up.

If it quacks like a duck, if walks like a duck, if it looks like a duck its still a duck. Madison you got it... slick packaging mill

 

What can stop them from opening another web site under deferent name and sell Ph.D over there wile they are trying DETC
accreditation.

But usualy this is a sign for an atempt to get National Accreditation.

 

Another clue that MU is going for National Accreditation:

Another clue that Madison University is going for National Accreditation:

Look at their current website page on accreditation and you will see they took the WORLD ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES accreditation off their list of recognition.

Here are the links to the current web page and the "cached" link from yahoo that still shows accreditation from WORLD ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES.

NAHE still there

But they still list the "National Academy of Higher Education" on their accreditation page. That would suggest that they are responding to bad press attached to WAUC.
