[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well we will all find out today the future of MVA. The sense I got from the board on Tuesday was they heard the testimonies, but they have a difficult budget this year and have to make tough decisions. I suspect this program will be cut. It is just not effective enough to maintain. Giving kids who are bullied the option to learn from home is not serving them...it is robbing them of a real education. I am shocked parents go along with it.

MVA gives them real education. Just like many colleges offer online degrees.[/quote]

You don't seem to hire people. Online degree programs have been a joke for a long time. [/quote]

LOL how in the world do you know if people you are hiring went to college in person?  (not talking about purely online colleges).  I am currently getting masters from Georgia Tech, fully online.  It actually beats going in person because I have fewer distractions and more time to learn.[/quote]

First of all, there are a lot of schools that are simply diploma mills and are predominantly online.  Capitol College being one example in this area with atrocious quality.

Second, even for the schools that have large in-person options, you can very easily tell once you interview them. Or sometimes even by just looking at their resumes. You're far, far less likely to see participation in research activities from online students, for instance. And generally less evidence of work with peers and advisors. You get a completely different level of candidate among the online students.[/quote]
