Review:

I have worked for few Fortune 500 & 1000 companies and traveled alot in my career.  The various local universities (brick & mortar schools)always wanted you to take a leave of absence from work (e.g. 1 1/2 years) to complete "their" Ph.D. program.  They did not offer night classes nor Saturday classes.  I have family that needed to be supported financially, so I needed to pursue other educational offerings if I wanted to "earn" my Ph. D.  I contacted KWU at the time and the people were very professional and my company approved attending under its educational tuition reimbursement program.   I spent 2 long and dedicated years in studying the prescribed safety courses and taking the 3 hour programed exams (essays) for each course.  Then spent another year doing research and writing my Ph. D. disseration.  My advisors were great.  Was it worth all that time and effort--you're damn straight it was. I am just sorry WNU was unable to receive its national accredition.
