Yeah, Phoenix was just a starting point and they don't really have what I want. I've heard them referred to repeatedly as a "diploma mill". I'm thinking that if I do this, it has to be from a "real" school that has some name recognition in order for the degree to be taken seriously overseas.

I still can't help but think that online programs such as an MA TESOL will, in time, be considered acceptable. After all, look what's happening with the various forms of online English instruction.

Yes. And if you say something over and over enough times...it's bound to happen! Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

It's an abomination to those who actually WENT to brick and motar unis instead of sitting in from of a computer drinking Slurpees and eating cold pizza!
