all I saw in the announcement was DETC as “accreditator”

While DETC has achieved some recognition it is still a “red flag” (sorry to have to put it that way, perhaps that’s a bit harsh too) for most academically-savvy people. And, most universities will not accept DETC coursework or credentials if presented to them.

Beyond that, I have nothing I can add. I have a higher regard for DETC than do most universities, I do not wish to knock it or the new school you posted. I just saw the DETC instead of one of the more widely-accepted “regional accreditation agencies” and so thought it necessary to post a cautionary note is all. People are smart and they can check things out for themselves...
thanks for understanding

Although there seems to be an Obama administration interest in free education however it would be the American taxpayer picking up the check for the tuition.

As I wrote earlier the $1 trillion student loan bubble is about to burst as the defaults increase.

My research indicates that enrollment at private colleges has fallen 9% which could put some of them out of business.

Another topic of interest is how remedial classes at colleges are increasing because unprepared students are admitted in order to fill the empty classrooms.
