Go to online college

Hey Hun,

My answer is no online college.

Semper Fi to you for stepping up for your education and being a single mom. I am a prior active duty United States Marine; please take my advice for your financial stability, your children, and your own sake. This University has over 332 reports current on the Better Business Bureau, over thousands of complaints to the Department of Education, Senate, Consumer Agencies, etc. I help assist those going to through these higher learning education institutions already and have suffered the fraud. The main concern I could state is these online academic institutions accreditation The University of Phoenix falsely advertises in its online advertisements that they are a “fully-accredited” university. How can this university be fully-accredited with only its “institutional accreditation” provided by The Higher Learning Commission and no “programmatic accreditation” for any of its Information Technology programs?
There are two types of accreditation; “institutional accreditation” and “programmatic accreditation.”
As a college student, you want to enroll in a program of study that has its “programmatic accreditation” because this type of accreditation assures students that the education they will receive meets the requirements of the programmatic accredited so that graduates from a program of study can become gainfully employed after graduation.
“Institutional accreditation” is there only to ensure that the college and/or university is able to receive Title IV funding or student financial aid.
“Programmatic accreditation” ensures that the education you receive will be of the highest quality, meaning you’ll be learning from qualified instructors and not “facilitators,” you’ll be mastering both theory and practical skills i.e. real-world working skills, and your degree will land you a job in your field of study after you graduate.
The University of Phoenix has its “institutional accreditation” provided by The Higher Learning Commission but the majority of the programs that the University of Phoenix offers doesn’t have its “programmatic accreditation.”
The Higher Learning Commission Vice President for Accreditation Relations, Karen Solomon, is the corporate liaison for the University of Phoenix. I wonder why? To get paid millions for defrauding students who want to better their lives?
Here’s something suspicious to wrap your brain around. There is a regional accredited called the Distance Education and Training Council (http://www.detc.org/). The University of Phoenix relies heavily in distance education (online learning) to make its biggest profits but, the Distance Education and Training Council does not want to give the University of Phoenix its “institutional accreditation.”
The majority of online colleges and universities, especially for-profit institutions, all have its “institutional accreditation” with The Higher Learning Commission, and not the Distance Training and Education Council.
The Higher Learning Commission has recently been scrutinized by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) because of their decision to accredit American Intercontinental University and the OIG no longer wants to recognize The Higher Learning Commission as a regional accredited. The OIG now looks at the The Higher Learning Commission as an accreditation mill.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, only 5% of undergraduates complete their bachelor’s degree and only 1% of undergraduates complete their bachelor’s degree in 4 years. Read more on that here by expanding the “Retention and Graduation Rates” plus (+) sign
This high number could mean a lot of things but the majority of these students who are in default on their student loans are former graduates holding a “worthless” degree that cannot get them a job in the field that they studied in to pay their student loans back because these graduates didn’t learn anything in their programs of study. Clearly more than 20,000 University of Phoenix former students or graduates are in default today on their student loans.
Let’s look at other colleges and universities because everyone wants to know public information provided by the government. Let’s look at a few public and private colleges and universities, we’ll throw in ivy-league colleges as well, and let us see how many students have defaulted on their student loans in 2007:

University of Hawaii at Manoa – 66
California State University – Los Angeles – 49
Arizona State University – 355
University of Colorado at Boulder – 84
Washington State University – 134
Florida State University – 194
Ohio State University – 322
Loyola Maramount University – 20
Hawaii Pacific University – 38
Harvard University – 13
Yale University – 14
University of Phoenix – 9,941

I saw that you had asked at tuition costs also, well there are more than enough reports of financial fraud at this university with independen
