    I thought Magna Carta College was one of Oxford University's continued colleges. :D "Magna Carta College (also known as Magna Carta College, Oxford and formerly as GBSO) is an independent business school in Oxford, United Kingdom."

    This neither be the first nor the last school to take advantage of a well-known name in the education industry.

    There's a school here in Iowa called Cornell College. Acceptance rate, 79%. It actually predates the famous one, but parents around here regularly say their kid is "going to Cornell" and don't correct people who think they mean the Ivy.

    Yes, having studied physics, I don't like it either, the prefix "micro" like in "one millionth" is simply too small. But "Centi-MBA" (for 15 hours of training) sounds pretty lame either!

    The only prefix that fits is "not-an-" ;)

    Not sure if it's already been mentioned (I had no desire to go through 30+ pages and 20 years :cool:), but MIT offers a ton of free courses, some with a certificate for a modest fee;

    New course to start free for the community and law students
    From the website
    The Law of the Police online course, a first-of-its-kind learning opportunity, based on “The Law of the Police” casebook by Rachel Harmon, University of Virginia, and run in partnership between the American Bar Association Legal Education Police Practices Consortium and the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law.

    This virtual, self-paced & asynchronous course is designed to support students from all walks of life to comprehend the laws that police are tasked with upholding, the case law that protects citizens and officers in their interactions, as well as the laws that hold the profession of policing accountable.

    Each of the seven weeks is led by a different legal subject matter expert to examine the evolution and reality of policing as well as inspire learners to be part of an evidence-based approach to understanding safety and security which protects the rights and lives of all people.

    My fear with this kind of thing is the old adage "A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing".

    Criminal laws and rights of arrest vary widely among states, and sometimes even among counties and municipalities within the same state.
