Yes, your degree is considered a distance education degree.
Any satellite campus, like Framingham University, is considered distance education. |
I don't see how? We attended the same amount of class hours. Had just as much homework as a brick and mortar university.
There are plenty of sattelite campuses in the US? Are those distant too?
What about Koreans who atttend there first 2 years in a sattelite campus and then complet the next two years in the Seoul campus?
Not arguing, just discussing. |
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A satellite campus or branch campus is a campus of a college or university that is physically detached from the main university or college area, located in a different city, state, or country, and is often smaller than the main campus of an institution.............
Well, I read the entire entry and it says nothing about what they are made of. However, I do not think a university has to be made of brick and mortar to qualify as a real university. Many newer buildings do not use those anyway. I am in my office now. After I post this I will go outside and see what our buildings are made of. I have never really paid attention to that. We, however, are a real university, and it will be interesting to see what we are made of. Will update this later. |
I encourage you to test this in countries like Korea, Japan, Taiwan, UAE, Qatar, etc., as long as you have US $15,000 - $25,000 to experiment with.
Then update us on the results.
But do you have that kind of money to throw down the toilet? |
I've tested it in Korea. It has worked well for me. |

Sorry, but I'm correct on this one, and you (and PatrickGHBusan) and not. It was MUCH easier to get a university job in the past. I can't believe you're arguing it's easier to get one now.

Moore knew almost nothing about Korea, let alone its music, when he decided to move there in 2008. He and Bacon, in their last semester at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, simply decided to try something new.
“We wanted to get out of the country, just do any job that would pay us,” Moore remembers. Bacon saw on their career network that they could each make $2000 a month teaching English to kindergarteners in Korea, without any previous exposure to the language or culture. “One day I went to class, she applied for the job, and within 24 hours got notice back saying she’d gotten it. They didn't do an interview, or anything. So she replied, ‘My boyfriend wants a job, too,’ and they said yeah, bring him along—just make sure you graduate.”
The couple were assigned that fall to Cheonan, a city of 600,000 located an hour south of Seoul. After just one year of teaching kindergarteners there, Moore and Bacon were able to land intro-level positions at Sangmyung University, a local campus of some 20,000 students.
“In one year, we went from being crappy kindergarten teachers to tenure-track professors,” Moore marvels. |

Except they are not really tenure-track professors are they....but why bother with annoying things like facts.
Also WT what you wrote does not show 12ax7 is wrong...in fact it supports what he says.... |
