Detc Accrediting Meeting This Weekend.

DegreeInfo itself, as a company, generally doesn't take a lot of positions on things, and encourages healthy debate and diversity of opinions among members of the DegreeInfo community.

But the owners of DegreeInfo have sometimes spoken on behalf of DegreeInfo, and on the issue of DETC and it's violation of its own rules in accrediting AICS, I am pretty certain that I responded publicly on behalf of Degreeinfo to a letter that Mike Lambert sent us attempting to justify their process.

I've always been very outspoken that I thought it was simply appalling that DETC violated its own rules in granting accreditation to a school that was willfully and knowingly deceiving its students at the time it was seeking recognition from DETC. That, to me, says that DETC has no problem ignoring its own rules when they feel like it, and in spite of several opportunities to clarify why this obvious disregard occurred or what possible justification there was, DETC has never done so. Nor has Sentinel acknowledged the wrongdoing of their predecessor, instead choosing to go silent.

I think both of these actions speak volumes, and that's part of why DegreeInfo as a company continues to have concerns about DETC.

It can also certainly be inferred that we, as a company, did not think highly of DETC, based on the fact that our (currently offline) database of accredited schools did not include any DETC schools, nor did we ever accept advertising for DETC schools. At the point at which we again accept advertising, that policy will almost certainly change, reflecting improvement in acceptance of DETC degrees and the fact that there are most certainly some good DETC-accredited schools out there.

 

RKC - a real college?

Just want to check here if anyone is studying from RKC Switzerland (backed by UoW MBA Degree)

Hows the experience so far? and anyone went for their residency course in campus? and received degree of UoW physically?????

i am excited to join this college for MBA program and any info will b much appreciated?

Cheers

 

There are many, many excellent MBA programs that don't carry the baggage of RKC. If having read all the way through this thread, you still are convinced it's the best choice, then have at it, but I really can't see why one would choose this particular program when there are so many others that are accredited and will never require any explanation as to why classes were taken at one school, but another school issued the degree and so forth.

 

Chip, Well my case is different! i have limited options i guess (Unless u can suggest me).

i have diploma in Mech Engineering with 4+ yrs of experience. Also my job requires me to travel!

So i am looking for MBA admission (Usually it requires Bachelors, but RKC n UoW granted me permission based on professional experience).

Could you suggest me where else should i apply? or which is better then UoW

Thanks in advance buddy

 

One highly regarded MBA program that doesn't require a bachelors degree is Heriot-Watt, a Scottish school with a very long history providing quality education. The program is inexpensive, and the curriculum was originally developed by several of tha faculty members who developed Stanford's MBA curriculum.

The downside is, it is 100% self-study, other than a few message boards where H-W students congregate on the Net. Back when John Bear was marketing the degree in the US, 7 of the Fortune 10 (and most of the fortune 500) had management employees who held an H-W MBA.

I don't at this point know of others that don't require an undergrad degree, but there probably are.

 

The University of Leicester will also admit students to graduate degree programs if they do not have an undergrad degree, but they must have significant work experience and must pass the first 2-3 courses in the program to continue.
