    Re: Good Question ...

    As far as approval, the state of WY is not in the business of approving any school, even RA schools.

    RJT, so you now admit that you were not being completely truthful when you claimed that K-W was approved by Wyoming?

    K-W makes a student complete 5-9 difficult but work specific courses, provided they transfer in with a AA and credible work experience.

    This is false. You do not need to have an AA. You have been caught telling this exact same untruth previously! Why do you insist on trying to spread falsehhoods? If you don't have an AA the students still need to complete 5-7 classes. I have seen no one that has said they needed more than 7 classes. Where did your 9 come from? Again RJT, I don't trust a word you say. Let's see some back up to at least one of your claims.

    They are recognized and reimbursed by many employers - who DO investigate the school (I'll send the PUB link).

    Here's the link.

    You are incorrect by saying that just because tuition is reimbursed by a company that the company recognizes the school. This is a completely FALSE assumption. All it usually means is that someone got their manager to sign off their tuition reimbursement request.

    Answer me this SIMPLE question, why is their nothing in that thread about ANYONE getting a job because of their K-W degree? WHY?

    They are not a degree mill, in any way. The school does not claim to be accredited, rather the school is factual, and states that they are state liscenced, and that there may be limitations.

    K-W is a degree mill because, for example, the graduation requirements are not published but are reported to be 5-7 classes for a Bachelor's degree. This is woefully below standard. K-W is a degree mill because they bounce from state to state to avoid any academic oversite. K-W is a degree mill because they do not admit students from California. K-W has been labeled a degree mill by a number of very respectable publications for these reasons and many more.

    I firmly feel that K-W is a good and viable option, for someone who has achived the experince to recieve a degree, yet wants a challanging option.

    Your feelings, no matter how strong, cannot change the fact that K-W is a pitiful school that pretends to give credit for life experience but doesn't tell you how many units you got nor what classes you got credit for.

    Yes the school is not RA, but neither is Bob Jones, Cal Pacific, and several other positive choices.

    K-W is very inferior to the those other schools. Those other schools can accept students from within the state that they operate!

    The bottom line I feel is that there are many on this board who can not contend with a school that succeeds (37,000 grads), yet operates independenty and legally.:eek:

    You claim 37,000 grads. I believe that you may be telling an untruth on this one, RJT. Are you sure that it's not 37,000 students? Wasn't it stated as 37,000 students? At 17% survival rate that would mean 6250 graduates not 37,000. I guess it doesn't really matter except to exemplify your tendency to stretch the truth.

    Strangely enough that “JPA (L)” authorisation refers to a Malaysian Government endorsement!!??
