School vs. Reality

July 28, 2006

Being here for the time that I have, has opened my eyes up to so many things.

In school I only got a small taste about the outside workforce and people in general. Western Kentucky is a very good school for journalism, but it hasn't given me that extra step to do better than I have. I'm not knocking Western because there are so many things that have got me to the place that I am today. And, I'm not sure that any one is really prepared to go out in the so called '' real world."

I have learned so much here about people and how they view the media in general. I know it would be different for every station, because some stations have more people to deal with, and a lot more news to deal with. I am grateful for my internship here in a good market, surrounded by hard working people. I know that in my future this internship will always be something to look back on.

Kentucky Colleges Rated Highly in MBA Programs

Bloggers continually debate the quality of colleges and universities that have online MBA programs; however, the arguments are usually more emotional than factual. My research has shown that there are both stars and stinkers in this important field of graduate study:

Morehead State University (Morehead, KY) is clearly a star. Its online MBA program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and the cost for residents and non-residents alike is a mere $990 per course.

Western Kentucky University (Bowling Green, KY) is also a star. Its online MBA program is accredited by AACSB and the tuition is only $1,173 per course.

Strayer University Online (Newington, VA) falls into the stinker category, primarily because neither its undergraduate nor its graduate business degrees are accredited by AACSB. Moreover, the tuition is $1,730 per graduate course—almost twice that of Morehead State.

University of Phoenix (Phoenix, AZ) is also a stinker. Its business degrees are not accredited by AACSB, and the tuition is $1,764 for graduate courses. Additionally, in September, 2006, the EEOC filed suit against the university for discriminating against “non-Mormon” employees.
