Info on Glendale University and/or NDLAC

I've been looking into a masters degree through Glendale University. They are accredited by an agency acronymed "NDLAC". I haven't found anything negative regarding either the school or the agency. However, I haven't really found ANYTHING period. Anybody with info regarding these two.

NDLAC is the National Distance Learning Accreditation Council.

Here is a bit about them:

There are many agencies. The problem people can run into is if they want to change colleges and the new university does not accept the accreditation of that particular agency.

Ndlac

I have been doing research on Glendale University and some others. The state of Michigan has put together a list of institutions who's accreditation they do not accept. It can be found at:
http://www.michigan.gov/documents/No...ls_78090_7.pdf

Glendale is not on Michigan's list, but some of the schools listed on the NDLAC website are also on the Michigan Non-Accredited list. It would be interesting to know if Auburn, UCLA or USC are aware that they are on the NDLAC list.

Dr John 101 agrees: MIT and Harvard and Stanford are also accredited by the NDLAC. NDLAC is VERY WELL KNOWN. They have strong guidelines to follow

schools

many schools get on alot of "lists"

This school from what I read basicly sells you a degree for life experience,
for a sum, that they allow you to pay over a couple of months, they will give you a degree.

Sounds like the best 600 dollar wall hanging you can get. If you just want a dipomila to hang on the wall check out some of the church schools they will give you one alot cheaper than that.

Dr John 101 agrees: Check out your information before providing incorrect feedback!
tesua1997 disagrees: I cannot agree with you. This is no degree mill

As a human resources manager, I can tell you that you should not waste your money on a so-called life experience degree issued from what is nothing more than a diploma mill. I have no information on the school you specifically mentioned, but I'll just say, be very careful of claims of accreditation. Many claiming accreditation are essentially self-accredited. They establish a web site with what sounds like a really impressive university name and even include photos of some ivy-covered building to suggest that they have a real college campus. Then they create a very official sounding accrediting organization to which they then claim to be "accredited"--i.e., self-accreditation--about as good as the diploma you could create for yourself on your home computer.

Here's the bottom line in my office. We don't accept the degree of an applicant for employment if the school from which the degree was obtained is not accredited by an accrediting organization that is recognized as legitimate by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education (check out their web site and institutional database).

I spent a good deal of money finishing my PhD with Glendale University in 2005. When I put the information on my security question paperwork it created a RED FLAG with the Federal government human resources.

This university and the accreditation body is not listed with the Department of Education or the Council of Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). The Department of Defense will not recognize my degree and have told me they are a diploma mill so my "sheepskin" is useless.

My suggestion is do not watse your money on a degree that is not from a university recognized by the Dept of Ed or CHEA
