More confusion

To further add to the confusion, the evaluation above is incorrect. An "S" school is not "just as illegal" in Oregon as a "D" school.

A state-licensed, but unaccredited, degree ("S" category) can be legally advertised in Oregon, if it is accompanied by a disclaimer, stating that the degree is not accredited by a recognized agency or approved by ODA. I would assume that this rule also applies to foreign-licensed degrees that lack the equivalent of US accreditation ("F" category).

An insitution that issues degrees without legal authority is automatically regarded as a degree mill ("D" category). Degrees in this category are illegal for use in Oregon under any circumstances, with or without a disclaimer.

So if you possess a legally-issued degree from an unaccredited school (such as those listed above), you have the right to say so, as long as you acknowledge that the degree does not meet Oregon academic standards. If you possess a degree that was issued without legal authority, then you do not have the right to say so, because Oregon considers that it was obtained illegally.

The confusion is unsurprising, because ODA does a poor job of explaining the significance of the different codes on its web site.

 

Thanks for clarifying that.

Here is another one you can look at - http://www.cubt.edu/
It is not accreditied but it is state approved

Does anyone have knowledge of this school and or it's history? Is there any degree mill like traits?

I am still open to a DBA that is state approved or a UK or South African degree program, however, the delivery of study in its simplicity is important to me, which leans me a little away from schools such as UNISA etc.

Looking for a program I can complete totally distance learning and again, feel proud of my accomplishment.

Would a school such as the above California University for Business & Technology be a decent alternative to my low cost program needs?

Please share any thoughts that you have. I want to ensure I think logically on this one and not end up enrolling into a Degree Mill like program.

Also, anyone have info on Century University or Preston University. Are they bad raps as well?

 

I don't know about Preston, but Century is about at reputable as Breyer State.

Honestly, I would steer clear of state-approved or otherwise unaccredited schools. If you are going to go through the time, effort and expense of earning a doctorate, go for one that is going to mean something when you are done. State-approved and unaccredited degrees (for the most part) have little, if any, utility.

 

Preston is an unaccredited school located in, of all places (drumroll, please! crash of cymbals!), Wyoming, and it gets a less-than-wonderful write-up on page 214 of _Bears' Guide_, 15th edition. Need I say more?

The equine studies program is a "healthy" program, requiring alot of studying, test taking and sending video of the student handling horses. It requires much of the same work as other schools that offer similar studies. Breyer does not teach the class, it is taught through Success Is Easy, and Breyer is the entity that they are affiliated with for the Bachelor degree. I have no problems with what I have learned about the actual Equine Studies Program. It is solid and well rounded. I do, however have a problem with forking out $350.00 per course plus books if I am going to do all that work, increase my knowledge, and then have a degree that is considered to be from a "degree mill". Again, I am confident in the program, but now I am concerned about the degree.
