Regardless of how this plays out, it's an embarrassment now to say you have a degree from the failed EDMC schools, especially a business degree.

Most of the degrees like Culinary will not be affected too much by the bad reputation, but a business degree from a failed business school? most defiantly will look bad. I'd leave that off your resume if I were you.
This is called The-Lay-Off forum, not the shut up and go back to work forum. If you dont like what you here, stop coming here.
Shut up and go back to work you peon bitches
AI is the same way. They like to hire teachers who went to prestigious schools, then go so far as to brag about it in their marketing material. So AI is doing the exact same thing they want to claim doesn’t happen in the real world. The value of a degree is directly related to the reputation of the college. Poor Reputation = Lower Job Opportunities.
News flash, some of us here who can't spell so well are Ai students and employees.
Most of you are not even able to spell correctly. 33888 and 33899 are showing that some education, even from a failing institution, is better than none...
Come on, a degree from a school that FAILED at the very thing they teach dose say something.
Hate to burst your bubble, but most of the free world and capitalistic society run on elitism. The value of a brand is based on it's received status not actual quality. The quality is assumed to be of the highest if the brand is considered the best. There would not be high end fashion, expensive cars, ivy league schools, if elitism were not a factor in the decision making process. Many Asian countries put that even higher, judging people by the kind of watch they can afford. That is why all the expensive name brand products sell so well there in places like Japan.
An MBA from Argosy is like a degree from Clown College. In fact, they went out of business too.
Come on. That person is right. These degrees are laughable. I mean really? An MBA from argosy? Lol.
This is true, I have seen it happen in my own company where I work.. Many employers higher in part based on what school you went to. Especially your first few years out of college. Not saying its the only factor or that everyone dose it but life is not fair, its a fact. It's a way of gauging the quality of employee. You cant tell me if all things were equal that a employer would not take the name of the school you went to into consideration. A high powered accounting firm if given the choice between a Wharton grad and an EDMC grad would pick the Wharton hands down no question. Purely on reputation.
You dont need a degree to become a Graphic Artist or Animator yet AI says you do. Sounds like they do the same thing if you want to talk academic elitists.
Only academic eletists would say something like this, MTSU. It's the same propaganda promoted by institutions who will tell a prospective student that you won't amount to anything without a college degree. Fuel the machine.
Totally ridiculous. Edmc biz probs aren't related to curriculum or faculty. And u get out of any education what u put into it. You can go to UCSD and graduate as a slacker. Just walk around any grad show from ai. Very skilled students. Just a high student loan unfortunately. The one thing I am concerned about is transfer of some undergrad credits and I'm looking into that with my own family members that attended. And culinary businesses out there snap up ai grads as highly skilled and ready to hit the ground running. Any employer that just looks at where u went to school would be a lousy place to work I think
Shut up
Who would have thought a degrees perceived value could not drop after you graduate. While you could claim ignorance with some of the degrees, I think any kind of MBA or Business Degree from a filed institution will look pretty bad. At a minimum, you made a poor choice of where to get your education. More likely is to assume the same management who drove the school into the ground is the same management who hired underwhelming teachers with a sub par curriculum.
You are right, even if you were a straight A student, no one is really going to care if the business school you went to couldn't even keep it's own head above water.
