Convenient but...think twice!

Written: Aug 31 '00
Pros:Convenience,
Cons:Reputation, price

After teaching for Webster I can attest to the convenience of the programs provided but consideration should be given to the "prestige" factor of this program. Depending upon your future plans, this may or may not be a "good fit" for you. The majority of students are off site, working adults who are seeking a degree in order to move ahead in their current career plan or change to another related career. Many have employer provided tuition plans or veterans/government tuition benefits. Otherwise, tuition can be steep.

Classes are often held in non-traditional formats and may be located in shopping centers, rental spaces from other colleges and so forth. Faculty requirements are not as stringent as required at many universities resulting in a less than glorious reputation among "mainstream" academics. On the other hand, if you are not planning on going into research or academia, but rather planning on getting that choice piece of paper to help you move ahead in your chosen career, this is a great option! Personalized attention is unsurpassed and you will grow accustomed to a "concierge" atmosphere not to be found at most universities!
