Does U. of Phoenix accept St Regis degrees?

You might want to contact the American Council on Education (ACE).

They have a whole project busy translating military training into college credit recommendations that are accepted by most of the colleges and universities in the United States.

Please re-read this exchange:

I no longer have the scan to look at, so I can't swear that it mentioned Saint Regis University, but I have the impression it did. It may have been a forgery. But posting a scan of an evaluation is a little more than having "used his name".

 

In response, I called my own state NY Dept of Education and this EXACTLY what they told me:

1. If a institution takes federal money or is a Title IV school, the US government most definitely oversees the operations of the school to see that conforms with federal guidelines and meets federal criteria and is duly accredited. The federal government has a list of approved accreditation agencies and if a school is not on the list, they do not get the Title IV funds...

2. The granting of degrees by any state institution recieving federal funds is NOT a within the power or authority of any State legislature or any institution EXCEPT for the fact that the federal government has granted states the right to grant degrees in the first place. The federal government (as I was told by an attorney involved in Federal cases involving accreditation) can revoke a state institution's right to grant degrees if it is found that the institution is in violation of federal law and if the feds didn't have this right, the attorney told me that the Dept of Education wouldn't be involved in keeping tabs on accreditation.

3. Seeing as how the Dept. of Homeland Security and US Citizenship and Immigration Services oversee valid educational credentialing for foreigners trying to work in the US, their acceptance or non-acceptance of an educational evaluation is very valid.... The same is true for the acceptance by the US Army or by any federal agency....

So are you saying that the federal government who is very active in trying to determine if a foreign professional is qualified to work in the US is not qualified to render a decision regarding the validity of a educational assessment? If a evaluator is a Title IV administrator under the Dept. of Education, the government can't be a judge as to his or her validity?

I think if the Idaho Dept. of Education, the Pennsylvania Dept. of Education, the Kansas Dept. of Education, the US Dept. of the Army, the US Dept. of Education, the US Dept. of Justice, etc. accepts a credentialing service, then the credentials are fine.... (I called all of these people)

Here are the facts... If an institution takes federal funds, then the FEDS have the right to say what goes on with respect to the institution. If the school doesn't take federal money, then perhaps the state is solely in charge... but the second federal money is involved, the ball is in the court of the federal government.

BTW, the training I was having evaluated were US Army credits and courses which are federal... if you notice most credentialing services are for foreign credits... AEI is the ONLY agency on the Dept. of the Army list for credential evaluations... I attended the Royal Military College of Science, Shrivenham, UK and my credits were NOT recognized as they were granted by the US Army.... At least they were not considered as "academic credit" by City College of New York....

Mathew B. Michael Clark has taken his name off his Websites!

 

But here's a photo of him:
http://smallurl.com?i=10043

As Galanga just discovered, he's "Dean and Chair of the University" at his alma mater, Saint John University of Cameroon: http://saintjohnuniversity.org/staff.htm
and also at the African Institute of Technology (very similar Website):
http://www.aitedu.org/staff.htm

The universities are owned by the Byzantine Catholic Church Inc., of which Clark is a councillor. http://www.geometry.net/religion/old_catholics_page_no_5.php led me to the page with the photo.

 

Does U. of Phoenix accept St Regis degrees?

Question: Does U. of Phoenix accept St Regis degrees?


I am on the faculty of UOP...answer is NO.

 

Re: Doctor of Science

Nope. The first PhD ever awarded was at the University of Berlin in 1810. In the UK, it was the University of London in 1857 and in North America, Yale awarded the first in 1861.

It kind of makes sense, as US research universities are said to be based on a German model.

 

Please note: the Mathew Clark referenced in this thread is NOT the same person as the Zim-born South African Pentecostal theologian Mathew Clark, who teaches at a university in Johannesburg and is an utterly decent and honorable man as well as a great scholar.
