Lizzie asks…
Where should I go Full-Sail University or Franklin University?
I recently completed my associates in business and now im looking into completing a bachelors program online. I am interested in a complete online degree program because of the flexibility.
Jere answers:
Franklin University got regional accreditation just last year. Full Sail University does not have regional accreditation. Basically, Full Sail is a trade school pretending to be a university.
Neither school has Business School programmatic accreditation — not AACSB nor the two other (lesser) accreditors.
Franklin University is new to me, so I read up on the faculty bios. Very unimpressive bunch. Most of the doctorates are from 3rd rate schools or worse. Many of the doctorates at EdD, which provokes snickers among real PhDs.
Both of these schools are bottom feeders. You should look elsewhere.
Susan asks…
Is an online degree in civil engineering equivalent to a regular one gotten in an offline school?
I gotten an online degree for my business associates, yet I always had a love for civil engineering, and was thinking about going back to online school for an associates in it while I worked full time to support myself independently. Would it be harder for me to find work in the civil engineering field with that kind of degree, obtained online, than in a traditional setting?
Jere answers:
As a civil engineer, I can honestly say that no company I know of would even consider looking at a candidate with an online civil engineering degree. In fact, I don’t think that such degrees even exist! Most – no, all companies are interested in engineering candidates with degrees from ABET accredited engineering programs, and there’s no way that ABET would accredit an on-line program. If you do come across some place that is advertising an accredited on-line civil engineering degree, treat it like “Bob’s Backyard College of Engineering” and run away because it’s a scam.
If you’re interested in getting a civil engineering degree, you’ll probably have to do it the old-fashioned way. But no fear!! – I studied with several folks who were working their ways through school and were a little older, and they all did great! The one advantage that engineering progams in general seem to have is lots of scholarships. Even if you start empty-handed in most civil engineering programs, if you keep high grades and seek to get involved a little bit extracurricularly, you shouldn’t have a problem getting scholarships.
