I feel that it also depends on the graduate. You can't blame the school when the student was a slacker from the start. No matter the school you have slacker and you have achievers. I'm a college grad from a good school and I have never been without a... — read more 

Even a good school doesn't help in this extremely grim job market. We have UC Berkeley CS graduates that can't find jobs.

As I said, find a good school and do your research.

The medical field is NOT a good bet. We have ENTIRE graduating classes of RNs that can't find jobs.

In todays enviroment I would look toward skills training not so much a college degree. The medical field is always a good bet, but find a good school, no matter what skill set you are looking at. Do your research and good luck.

thanks for the advice - it seems that there is a general consensus that i should stay away from for profits. also, i was going to ask that if you had any suggestions about potential majors you might want to pursue given that supporting my family is... — read more

Token Black! lol! I know who you are! Your steve Q

The last time I was at online HQ in Santa Ana, I didn't get the opinion that Jenkins had much clout. They let him pretend he has power, and of course the doofus sales reps wouldn't know the difference, but isn't he just a token?

Not true. Some of us have been complaining about unethical admissions reps and overall unethical admissions practices for ten or more years. The admissions reps are so incompetent that they can't convince qualified students to enroll, so the reps... — read more

Faculty have to meet ACICS criteria. It isn't up to the company. In the job market the value of the Everest MBA depends on whether the employer knows anything about it. Many employers have no clue.

The Everest MBA exists so that Everest graduates with bachelor's degress who are unemployable can continue in school and continue to defer their student loans.

If you were still with the company you could check to see that Jenkins is still with the company. You could also check to see who his supervisor is, and who his supervisor is.

Someone posted earlier that Mike Jenkins started Online back in 2000. Is he still with the company now ? And if so how come he is not part of the Executive Management Team? I know he was VP of Online Admissions but never anything higher. Could it be... — read more

If a Everest MBA is so good than why won't Everest hire you to teach with it? That's right Everest doesn't even take their own MBA. Now that's a Bullshit degree! 100% of all Everest instructors have non Eversest degree's! lol!

Get real. No one considers an Everest MBA as a real degree.

MBA alone will not save CCi. They are still going to lose enrollment dollars.

That is not true. It actually depends on what school that you are going to for the MBA. If you are going to some cut-rate school such as everest than yes it may not be seen as acceptable. How many schools such as Devry, Phoenix and are acceptable... — read more
