Bump because I keep seeing commercials for for-profit and nontraditional schools, including recently founded schools. There's a really dumb commercial out now with 4 people walking past a crowd and the voice says something silly like "I don't want to be lectured to, I want control of my education."

I need people to be realistic and honest about what they expect to get out of this educational experience. Check the accreditation, check who is overseeing this school's programs, and realize that everything with "college" or "university" in it is not a REAL college or university.

Another critique of for-profit schools (I think this includes online degrees offered by legitimately accredited colleges and universities):
