The Almeda University degree is accepted by approximately 65 percent of all private corporations. That's a lot less than a typically accredited University degree which is accepted at 100 percent of all corporations.
Whether or not you agree with the concept of the life experience degree program, you need to know that no school that gives degrees based on life experiences is nationally accredited.
Some people have expressed positive results with the Almeda University degree. Almeda University has an online LinkedIn group where nearly 2000 alumni write about their satisfaction with their degree. It's not all whistles and bells, however. There are some alumni that continue to be dissatisfied because the degree did not get them the job that they were seeking.
If you get approved by Almeda University and pay the money, you will get the degree that you requested. The value of that degree, however, is limited.
Some students feel that the value is worth the money since the degree costs only one percent of a traditional college education and can be had immediately without the for your commitments.
Others are afraid to post the Almeda University degree on a resume because they feel that some employers will frown upon it and can possibly cost the perspective employee a good position.
With regard to the statement that Almeda University was "shut down" by the state of Connecticut, it is incorrect. The synopsis is as follows -- you can go to the state of Connecticut website to verify the following information.
In May 2001 Almeda incorporated in Connecticut. Connecticut required Almeda University to become licensed and apply for regional accreditation within six months of incorporation.
Regional accreditation would prevent Almeda University from issuing life experience degrees. Therefore Almeda University voluntarily ceased operations in Connecticut and dissolved its Connecticut entity.
This dissolution was handled in accordance with all requirements and procedures of the state of Connecticut under the guidance of Vincent Marino of Cohen and Wolf law firm (www.cohenandwolf.com).
Approximately 6 months after this dissolution, attorney Marino received a cease and desist letter based on a claim by an agent for the state attorney's office that the Almeda University continued to operate in Connecticut based on a recent advertisement.
The Connecticut state attorney's office rescinded the cease-and-desist letter after learning that the advertisement that was seen on the Internet was not targeted at Connecticut residents but was part of Almeda University's international campaign Taking place well outside the borders of Connecticut.
Almeda University does not target advertising to any particular state or local medium. hat All of its advertising is web based and most often requires the page to be proactively sought out by prospective students.
