1) ...Pat,<br /><br />Here are a couple of additional points:<br /><br />1) Walden isn't ranked by a single major publication, meaning it doesn't even crack the top 1,000 schools in America<br />2) Walden doesn't have professional accreditation<br />3) Walden doesn't verify who's participating in any of the classroom assignments<br />4) Walden requires 30 credits for a Masters compared to Seton Hall's online program that requires 39 credits<br />5) A Walden masters degree costs a little over $13,000 compared to over $23,000 for a masters from University of Phoenix (40 credits)<br /><br />So, we have a school of such low caliber that nobody of significance bothers to rate it, requires a quarter fewer credits than other programs, costs nearly half the price, and is the number one school of choice among our faculty.<br /><br />Is this good or bad for our district?Aberdeenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593197510549429078noreply@blogger.com
