I am considering pursuing the M.A. in Government through Yorktown University's online program, especially now that it's accredited. Any advice or comments? Thank you.
I've taken a course from Yorktown (macroeconomics) so I'm kinda familiar with their offered courses for the government MA.
As much as I love the idea behind Yorktown, I always felt that their course offerings for a degree were rather specialized and non-comprehensive (as far as being able to learn an entire body of knowledge for any given subject.) To put it a little plainer, the courses struck me as a conglomeration of specialized electives instead of those that would provide a solid foundational understanding of the major.
For comparison, see the course offering for the government MA at Regent University here
Thanks for your advice, INsage. I remain leary of Regent because of its association with P. Robertson. I may run for public office one day and I do not want to be called an extremist (fairly or not) because of having obtained a degree from Regent. Their program certainly looks more comprehensive, though.
I don't blame you. I had in mind earning a Masters in public policy analysis and had narrowed the choices to Regent and George Mason. When Robinson started going off the deep end, the choice was made for me. Unfortunately, I never made it to Mason either. Now at 45, I think I'm too old to attempt it any more.
