Are RA DL flash-in-the-pan schools sub-standard?

It was at Penn State, which I attended as a regular B&M student....a really long time ago. I don't remember ever talking to the instructors. I'm sure they all had office hours, though, if I'd needed them.

 

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out or not, but the wording of your question is not optimum.

It leads to a kind of push poll effect.

Are there any distance learning schools that are AACSB and/or ABET accredited?

 

I don't know if any strictly DL schools are AACSB accredited, but I do know that Excelsior does have at least one program that is ABET accredited.

 

OPEN UNIVERSITY in the U.K. which is a school dedicated to distance learning is accredited by AACSB.

 

There are many schools that offer distance learning options that are *both* AACSB and ABET accredited. Florida State University and the University of Florida are some examples.

 

Yes, but these are B&M schools that offer DL options. There is quite a difference between these schools and 100% online schools.

 

Really?

 

Capella University is also not accredited by either AACSB or ABET.

.

 

No 100% online school is accredited by AACSB or ABET.

 

Scott - For the Doctorate this may be true, but for the Master's and Undergrad, it is not. I think that is what you meant, but just in case, I wanted to make the distinction.

 

Han, what 100% online school is AACSB or ABET accredited at the undergrad or master's level?

 

Maybe I misunderstood - I mean that there are AACSB schools that offer master's programs that are offered by B&M institutions that are offered 100% online.

 

Yes, we were talking apples and oranges. You're right and I'm right: There are no AACSB-accredited 100% "online virtual" schools yet there are AACSB-accredited B&M schools that offer DL programs.

 

To even go further, as a mesh to these, some of the B&M AACSB schools only offer their programs 100% online, and some of their programs on campus only.
