I would like to give a DL Oscar to CSDH for their Humanities degree... A real, traditional university A real, traditional degree offered via DL The DL degree and program is the same as the full-time degree and program A standard credential (MA) A prescribed curriculum with a reasonable degree of flexibility Reasonable cost I would like to give a DL award of shame to all those schools that insist on giving DL degrees with stupid names (i.e. master of liberal studies)
Thank you, Ken. Would recommend Troy State University's MS in International Relations for mention in dispatches. Contender for silly degree title would be University of Northumbria at Newcastle for its MSc in Contemporary Computing. (I've been looking for a master's covering the early embedded processor era and the Z4, myself.)
Does this mean that if you earn one of these MSc's, then wait around for fifteen or twenty years before seeking a job, that your degree will still be in Contemporary Computing? If so, I like it. No more need for continuing education!
Lewchuk, go easy on the Master of Liberal Studies degree title. It's a fairly popular name for an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary graduate liberal arts degree, even among residential schools.
And, of course, liberal studies is a quite common name for the degrees earned by elementary school teachers (although some states still call this major elementary education). Tom Nixon
