The president of an online university based in Fredericton says he is upset that the province has revoked its licence to offer degrees and that the notice was posted online before he had a chance to inform anybody. The province announced Friday that Lansbridge University, an online business school, would no longer be designated as a university because reviews by the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission and independent inspectors showed the school to be “significantly substandard.” Company president Ernie Smith disputes that, and doesn’t like that the decision was placed on the government’s web site at the same time that a message was being sent to the company by courier. “I found that appalling, a very, very bad way to do it because it gave us no chance to talk to our students, our staff, or our faculty,” he said. The school enrols around 200 students, 11 from New Brunswick. Smith says he believed the university had made improvements requested by the goverment, including adding two outside representatives to its board of directors. Courses ‘above average,’ school says Smith, who joined the school this year, said the quality of the teaching was never raised. “Our courses, according to our students and our professors, were above average, and we have never had a complaint,” he said. Finance Minister Greg Byrne said that’s not what the reviewers found. “These were issues concerning the qualities of the programs,” he said. The government is appointing two …

Getting your degree from a respected and accredited university can open countless doors for you in the future. In the past, only traditional schools offered this opportunity.

However, it is now possible to earn your education online from a highly distinguished and accredited internet program.

Accreditation of colleges and universities is done by well-established organizations such as the American Psychology Association and the American Bar Association. These accreditated institutions rank and evaluate schools based on a number of criteria, and provide potential students and employers alike valuable information about these schools. A degree from an accredited school will carry far more weight than one from a non-accredited institution.

Hector Milla Editor of the “Online Degrees In USA” website — http://www.OnlineDegreesUSA.org — pointed out;

“…Therefore, it is important for prospective students to evaluate schools based on what accreditations they’ve received. This aspect of choosing the right school for you is even more pressing for online colleges, as it is difficult to evaluate these schools by yourself. Thankfully, there are now many accredited online programs to choose from…”
