A Decent Program

It's been a good experience. The biggest drawback is that the accelerated format of the classes made it difficult to delve deeply into subjects. Some of the professors I had were fantastic. Others were downright terrible and completely disinterested in the classes. However, I did learn a ton from the ...
So far, so good

I'm about half way through this degree program. I have been mostly happy thus far. The instructors are hit or miss, you have to do some research on them before deciding who to take a course with. I've had some that are great, very skilled and top-notch, and some that ...
I would recommend

I have three courses yet to complete my degree. Overall, I found the faculty to be top-notch. Most are adjunct professors. However, I don't think that you would really want to have mainly PhD-types (who focus more on theory and academic writing) teaching this program. Most professors are professional journalists ...

It's been a good experience. The biggest drawback is that the accelerated format of the classes made it difficult to delve deeply into subjects.
Some of the professors I had were fantastic. Others were downright terrible and completely disinterested in the classes. However, I did learn a ton from the instructors who took time to be involved with the students.
I started the degree in August of 2008 and will complete it in December, 2009. The classes weren't terribly difficult and if I had focused I could have earned my degree in under a year.
I would recommend this program to people who want a solid foundation for improving their writing skills. I'm confident though that there are better programs which offer more bang for your buck.
