    Here's my need. I've searched the history but not found any quick answers to this:

    I need a few more grad-level Accounting classes to be able to teach Accounting.

    I need RA credits only (DL of course), and would prefer to do them in an academically rigorous environment (in other words I don't want an easy grade, I really want to learn). I have a bias against the flashy for-profit schools but don't want to disregard them out-of-hand.

    I also don't want a place that's going to hard-sell their program (I already have a Masters) but I don't want to jump through a lot of application hoops just for 2-3 classes.

    Tuition is not a big issue as I have $4000/year from my employer, which should cover about 2 classes a year. I am working full time and teaching too, so I'm going to have to fit class in between teaching classes. (more than two a year would be crazy).

    Oh, and I want to start a PhD in Business in the next five years. On the shortlist for that are NCU, Fielding and Union but it's too early to decide.

    NCU has an Accounting for Non-Profits but no other classes that would be new information for me. Any experience with this class? http://www.ncu.edu/course_catalog/course_information_desc.asp?course_code=FIN5018

    DeVry has a Certificate of accounting http://www.devry.edu/keller/programs/accounting/courses.jsp that has some good courses. And I’d only have to go through one admissions process. Anyone with knowledge of this certificate or DeVry's MBA/Accounting degree?

    Other ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    (Executive graduate certificate)

    -Accounting

    -Controllership

    -Information Systems

    -Taxation


    We are for-profit, but we are RA (middle states) and have a very good reputation in the area we serve (northern Virginia)

    Here is a link to another list I found that includes: Ellis (NYIT) and Grand Canyon U.

    A google search would probably yield similar results, you can check RA and AACSB/ACBSP status here. www.chea.org

    Good luck!

    Thanks!

    These are good ideas...although I think I'm going to have to go with DeVry, since I have such a tight time frame. I finish teaching class on 6/20, go to Europe from 6/23-7/10 and start teaching again in September. So I want a class that runs from 7/10-9/10 or so, and DeVry's 8-week session fits in there perfectly, starts around the 10th. All the rest appear to be summer programs that start around 6/27.

    I can't tell from the web-site, are any of Strayer's programs run on the summer mini-session?

    Any other ideas?

    The courses @ Strayer are all offered in quarters (11 weeks), the only courses that are offered via 5 week mini sessions are 100 level courses.

    Good luck with Devry, I know a few of their IT graduates, very smart and competent people.
