Is this school Legit?

OK, so I'm going to channel Ted . . .

NECROMANCING A 4 YO THREAD? WHY? REALLY! WHY?

Your first post on the board is to resurrect a 4 year old thread in order to say something that was established 4 years ago? SPAMALERT! SPAMALERT!

 

Care to elaborate?:eek13:

 

I second the sentiments about Penn Foster college. They have impressed the hell out of me since day one of my Electronics technician course. The education is top notch in my opinion. The school cares too. My wife went to a different school and she was not happy that they didn't send encouraging emails after quizzes, and encouraging emails in general like I got all the time from my school. When I didn't turn in an exam after a few weeks they were concerned and wanted to encourage me to get back on track. She also had to call her school to get her diploma after she graduated. My Basic electronics diploma cam very, very quick, quicker than I thought it would. I am impressed with Penn Foster.

 

Holy thread necromancy, Batman! A four year old thread!

 

Only choose an online high school that is Regionally accredited.

Excel High School - Excel High School
Penn Foster - Penn Foster | Penn Foster
James Madison - www.jamesmadisonhighschool.com
Keystone National High School - www.keystonehighschool.com

This ensures your diploma is accepted and that your credits will transfer to other high schools if needed.

 

Hate to say it but stay away from any online schools. Reality is if they do offer somewhat decent education, when you go to get a job, it won't look good on your resume. Especially when you tell you employer "Yeah I got my masters off the internet!". You get me?

 

Also, when kids kick a soccer ball into your yard you should keep it and make sure you yell to them that it now belongs to you because it landed in your yard.

If the phrase "Yeah, I got my masters off the internet" works its way into a job interview, even if it's accurate, I'd say you're not getting the job and it has very little to do with your online study.

 

No, I don't get you.

First, that would be a stupid thing to say.

Second, why come to a board dedicated to distance learning and then post that?

Finally, on a personal level, I earned all my degrees by DL except my MBA. It has never come up in a job interview. Not once. Did it prevent me from getting interviews? I doubt it. There has never been a hint of it. Never.

 

You realize that there are Brick and Mortar schools that have degrees totally online now, right? I agree with Rich, I have a bachelors, masters and future doctorate (both online and correspondence) from distance learning. NOT once has it ever come up in an interview. Ever. I have been on hiring committees. We never ever asked that question of degrees. You realize this is a distance learning forum you are posting in, correct?

 

This is informed speculation, but I bet it DOES come up occasionally with UoP grads, primarily because there's a weird assumption out there that UoP is an "online" school.
