have NA master's...want RA master's

CoachTurner · Jun 22, 2006

No four-year or graduate RA institution would consider themselves to be in the "training" business. As long as DETC accredits DL locksmithing, gunsmithing, aromatherapy and other solely vocational pursuits, there will be a perceived difference between DETC and the regional accreditors.

You are aware that the regional accreditors evaluate vocational programs and high schools as well?

So as long as SACS accredits vo-tec schools you think they aren't meeeting the standard?

Now, I'm not saying SACS and DETC are equal but the reason isn't this...

DETC also accredits stuff like Hypnosis, Iridology, NLP- NeuroLinguistic Programming. Schools for suckers.

DeVry is RA and they are a "training" school (at least when I went). Very hands on and only had technical classes.

Hello Everyone,

I currently have an MBA/Public Adminstration degree from Columbia Southern University. I've thought about pursuing a doctorate, but decided it would be best to pursue a second master's degree. I'd like to have the opportunity to teach CJ and business management/leadership. So, this is what I'm looking for:

* Interested in a master's in management and leadership

* Maximum transfer credit to the second master's program

* Affordable ($200-$300 per credit unit)

So far, I'm leaning towards American Military University. They are RA and NA, allow up to 15 transfer credits into their graduate program and have the master's in management with a concentration in leadership.

I've also got an e-mail into Troy University and waiting for a reply. Troy is part of the CHEA/HETA agreement.

Honestly, I'm looking for the shortest path possible. I've been online with college for the last six years and don't want to be at it for another 2 years. Again, so far, American Military University seems to have all the qualities I'm looking for.

Personally, I like AMU very much. I think it would be an excellent choice. AMU has some really interesting undergrad & grad programs...and they are reasonably priced.

If you're thinking about teaching, however, don't rule out a doctorate. Why not NCU's DBA or PhD in CJ?

Just my .02 cents.

Today, Devry calls itself a "university". Each campus offers a full range of non-technical classes necessary to meet TAC/ABET requirements. The shortest programs are normally AA/AS.

When I was in school (1986) in NJ, they offered a 20-month certificate and BS degrees.
