    Timothyrph: The DETC website has quite a few subjects that I would only consider cheesy because I do not understand how they can be by distance learning...Dog Obedience Trainer

    ---------------------------------------------------
    Mistress Greta's Correspondence School of Dog Obedience Training

    Lesson Three

    Congratulations on having passed the theoretical portion of your degree program. You are now ready for the Lesson Three, the Practicum.

    In the attached box, you will find:

    1. A six-foot leather whip.
    2. A tazer stun gun.
    3. A canister of chipotle pepper spray.
    4. A plastic green-and-white whistle.
    5. 36 pieces of Fleer's Dubble-Bubble chewing gum.
    6. A totally untrained 3-month-old Rottweiler puppy.

    Following the detailed instructions in Chapters 3 through 19 of your textbook, you are to train this dog to the standards of Level Four:
    a. Come when called by name. (Your dog's name is Boo-Boo)
    b. Sit, stand, lie, snarl, and drool on command.

    When you are finished with this lesson, mail the dog back to us in the enclosed postage-paid box.

    I also like the veterinary technician program. Don't you know the housecat would dread seeing the mailman?

    I actually like the idea of a Doctor of Strategic leadership. I think it makes some sense.

    My brother and two sisters have BGS degrees from Wichita State University. This degree has never been a hindrance or or seen as a "Cheesy degree". All have cool jobs in leadership postions. My youngest sister actually is in the corporate world in excess of six figures in in a fortune 100 company. However their BGS was not distance.

    I think it is based on accreditation, not whether it is DL.

    I think a MA in Chaos is cheesy.

    I also agree that any of the Bacheolor of General Studies, Liberal Studies, Individual Studies sounds cheesy. Why not award the standard BA or BS?

    If somebody had a doctorate in chaos I could too get a doc based totally on life experience...

    If I get a degree in chaos, does that mean I have to try and kill agent 99 for a final?

    Not to mention that the Stratford Career Institute has a distance learning program in Funeral Service Education. I wonder how you practice the "embalming" component of this program???:rolleyes:

    Not to be pedantic, well, maybe a little, but the evil organization in the 'Get Smart' TV series of the 1960's was KAOS. And as another interesting fact, KAOS was not an acronym.

    Ok, I know this is a very old thread, but I couldn't resist posting. I like the degrees in Chaos, Sexology, and Future Studies. I remember posting a while back about a MA in Creative Thinking. I think that one is pretty cheesy sounding, too.
