    Johann,

    I forgot that you are a Canadian! I don't mean to get off of the topic, but generally speaking, what do Canadian's think of US degrees? My husband and I were considering moving to Canada, but we read somewhere that US people with US degrees in other countries (even Canada) are not well received when it comes to employment. Is this the case, or are we just misinformed? I just see quite a bit of foreign students in US universities so it surprised me - if they were not considered decent schools, people wouldn't come here to earn degrees, right??

    I'm excited to hear what you have to say!

    :)

    Good to hear from you. I don't believe there is one bit of prejudice against Americans seeking work here -- and I know of no overall prejudice against US degrees in academia. Hey, I've even been taught by some American professors, in my time. :smile: (Also Iranian, French, German and others.) In the Universities, they know the many good US schools (and the few less-good, perhaps) and I'm pretty sure degrees get the appropriate recognition. I would say, though, that you won't get that mileage in Canada from a NA degree. You'll go through hoops, at best. That's because there's really no equivalent, here.

    There are probably not all that many Americans who seek work in Canada -- we have around one-tenth the population of the US, so there just aren't that many jobs to be had. There are a lot of American companies with operations in Canada, and many Americans who work here are "imports" from their company's US locations. I'd say that there are 'way more US students at Canadian schools than there are job-seekers. Those numbers are up 50% in recent years.

    Reasons: Our schools are known to be good - and the cost can be phenomenally low, in US terms. I've heard of students doing four years here for the price of one year back home.

    No - no prejudice against Americans or their qualifications, that I know of. But not many job vacancies either - and plenty of un-or-under-employed Canadians...

    Johann,

    Thank you for the reply! It is helpful to hear your perspective. I'm glad that generally speaking, Canada doesn't mind us too much ;-)

    Gosh, I didn't know that Canadian degrees were less expensive. Perhaps I'll look to see if any of your schools have a good online Ph.D.! :-D

    Thanks again!

    Searchable AUCC database here - by discipline, on-ground, distance, etc. No bad schools here! Hope you find something you like! :smile:

    Dbu accreditation

    What makes DBU genuine also is that you have access to all your statements with regards to your payments. Their telephones lines are also accessible. I believe in the university and I think those who want to register and pursue mba must not hesitate.

    I kind of like Madurai Kanmaraj University www.mkuniversity.org and the University of Delhi. While reading Bear's Guide 9 (1985), I came across the fact that these two universities in India offer an MA in History (and/or ,maybe an M.Phil. in History). On my MA in History Question? Sticky, there appeared another one from the Great Country of India that had a master's in history. And I'm pretty sure that IGNOU is probasbly a good school to get a PhD in History from.
