    I recently posted a list of its graduates on a different thread, the best was a professor of english with a range of degrees from Bachelor's to Post-doctoral from this fine institution. It is interesting to see how some foreign universities are hiring graduates from Trinity. Next time you take a course at the university level you better ask your professor where he got his degree from, hope it is not from Trinity C&U or KW.

    There is a big difference between Trinity and K-W. First, real couse work. Many have come down on K-W do dubious intentions of catagorizing as a degree mill. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. K-W makes each student undertake a challanging slate of coursework, based on where they are at in transfer/life experience credits towards their degree. The cousework is overseen by respected RA Instructors. At the MBA Level a thesis must be written to rigiorious criteria.

    I've completed 103 RA credits, and I can say that the K-W Cirricula was just as much, if not more so challanging than those courses.

    The DoE has given the States the right to grant post secondary schools the ability to grant degrees, K-W meets this criteria, therefore, they have just as much a right to issue degrees as Harvard. Your preception of thier degrees being held in low reagard, could be appllpied to any legal RA school. There will always be defendors and detractors. I feel having the letters EMBA from K-W holds credibility in the business community.

    Unfortunately RJT is once again spreading K-W misinformation. he/she never adresses the serious issues raised and continues to use logical fallacies to support his/her belief. K-W is a "near degree mill". It moves from state to state to avoid regulation, is illegal in Oregon and California, requires 5 to 9 courses instead of the standard 30 to 40. The fact that K-W says they require many things they do not and that they hire out of work RA graduates reinforces their "mill" image. My guess is that RJT is a shill who keeps posting here because they realize that even with the negitive attention it brings, it also brings people looking for an "easy" degree. :rolleyes:

    Most of the "mill" degree holders spend a lot of effort to defend their degrees. I agree that this person might be doing legit work towards his/her degree, however, a degree from a top degree mill in the federal list (just next to Trinity) is not the best credential to have. If this person believes is doing serious work, why not to switch to a research master's degree at a serious institution? If your dissertation is credible you won't have problems getting it accepted towards a "better" degree. Having a license to operate a school only means that the school has some capital and have met some legal financial requirements. Saying that a MBA from KW is legal is like saying that if I get my MBA from my dog's trainer school that also has a license to operate a school is also legal. Some schools in Canada use the same argument, in the province of BC a school named "Vancouver University" grants degrees based on its English school license, Trinity also claims to be "legal" since they have a license school in Spain although they are incorporated in Delaware. The three schools are legal since they hold a license to operate, but are they "worth" it?

    See A university of lies and line #22 of Actividades de control publicitario en 1996-1997.

    The document, in Spanish, relating to the activity reported on line 22 was at one time available on the web. My understanding of the translated document was that a complaint had been filed against TC&U and its operator, Dr. A. Peel-Bayley, centering on deceptive advertising. The advertising in question apparently contained references to the Education Reform Act 1988 in such a manner as to potentially mislead consumers into believing they would receive a recognized credential.
