Marshall University Cyber Security
WVU with a 45 Million dollar deficit and steadily declining enrollment , meanwhile THE Marshall University getting a 45 Million dollar National Hub for Cyber Security and no real deficit and record enrollment.
I think we all know who the real flagship of the state is.
By bending over and sacrificing their morals in exchange for government sugar?Laugh all you want but, Liberty probably has the right model. No i am not taking about their religous affiliation. I am talking the way they run it.
Bending over for the pool boy.By bending over and sacrificing their morals in exchange for government sugar?
No, having 35,000 people or whatever number taking classes through them all over the country.By bending over and sacrificing their morals in exchange for government sugar?
Nothing like paying for a degree that says you were taught the Earth is 7k years old.No, having 35,000 people or whatever number taking classes through them all over the country.
Marshall is not experiencing the woes WVU is. Our enrollment is up so much so that they’ve had to re open an old dorm that was scheduled to be demolished. That’s what happens when you have real leaders instead of bow ties.We all know what the real issue is in higher education, and until it’s tackled things will never improve. WVU (and many others) are doing what private companies all across the country do when their financial performance starts to slip. It forces you to make tough decisions. Marshall won’t be far behind if they’re smart.
Is it really any worse than having someone pay for a 4 year degree in Philosophy?Nothing like paying for a degree that says you were taught the Earth is 7k years old.
Perhaps if Marshall would teach this we could find our own 35k rubes flush with Uncle Sugar education money.
It’s the liberal way. Womens studies degrees from private expensive colleges and then demand the government relieve you of your student debt cause you work at a coffee shopChurning out worthless degrees while significantly increasing the cost of college...
The Cost of Going to College Has Risen at Nearly 5x the Rate of Inflation Over the Last 50 Years – MyeLearningWorld
The cost of college has steadily skyrocketed over the past 50 years, making it difficult to afford for many students.myelearningworld.com
"If the cost of going to college increased consistently with the U.S. inflation rate over the last 50 years, students would be paying anywhere from roughly $10,000 to $20,000 per year to attend public or private universities respectively."
Meanwhile ignoring the value of actual jobs in demand...
On National Skilled Trades Day, America’s Labor Shortage Looms
National Skilled Trades Day highlights the urgent need for workers in high-demand fields, such as HVAC, plumbing, and aviation.gvwire.com
"While some degrees are worth millions of dollars in return on investment — computer and engineering programs, for example — others have no net financial value or even a negative return on investment."
Considering that any four year degree requires basic science education, yes.Is it really any worse than having someone pay for a 4 year degree in Philosophy?
Liberals like Raoul want this nonsense. It's the perfect young liberal mill for churning out millions of brainwashed liberals with no useful skillset and therefore will depend and support the need for big government to take care of them.It’s the liberal way.

Just because you got liberal arts degrees doesn't mean everyone else should.Considering that any four year degree requires basic science education, yes.
Philosophy is the search for truth and wisdom. Certainly it is better than actual lies.
And I do not understand you people that denigrate classical education. Part of me thinks your team does not want folks educated in logic, history, etc. It's easier to control such folks.
I'm not going to tell you a philosophy degree is super marketable (though I'd rather hire a philosophy grad than another cookie cutter business grad any of the week), but we do need people who can teach others the basics in the classics. I just looked this up: .3% of college graduates major in philosophy...it seems we are not overran with these folks.
I think the Founding Fathers would be puzzled by "philosophy bad", their understanding of Locke, Paine, etc was critical to our nation....hell, it still is.
Do we really want a nation of nothing but technically educated robots? Doesn't seem like a good idea for a vigorous democracy. It sounds....rather Chinese to me.

Do you also think I live in the California desert?I mean seriously, your profile says doctorate of journalism - I've never asked if you're joking or seriously have that or if such a thing even exists.
Oh look, an actual Young Earther has chimed in.Another example of Democrat projection…carry on.

Shit if I know, I only took intro.But they're not teaching that. YOu think they're teaching Kant or Neitchzke or (my favorite) Karl Popper on the same ground as those listed below?
Shit if I know, I only took intro.
Hell, they are teaching Ayn Rand in the business colleges. Counter-peogramming on both sides maybe.
You are missing the point. Marshall can teach the "normal classes" but, do what Liberty is doing in terms of getting the number of students. They don't have to follow Liberty's doctrine.Nothing like paying for a degree that says you were taught the Earth is 7k years old.
Perhaps if Marshall would teach this we could find our own 35k rubes flush with Uncle Sugar education money.
Not really. Liberty gets 35k online students because they agree with Liberty's focus on religion. It is what sets them apart from the competition.You are missing the point.

Yes, but I have cusomters and associates taking on-lne classes through all kinds of univesities from all over the country.Not really. Liberty gets 35k online students because they agree with Liberty's focus on religion. It is what sets them apart from the competition.
I have nothing but my observations to note here, no hard stats.Yes, but I have cusomters and associates taking on-lne classes through all kinds of univesities from all over the country.
The day of brick and mortar will shrink significantly. That is what Marshall has to figure out.
These schools can fight it all they want but, it is going to grow and grow. The college degree is not once what it was.
Arizona State has over 33,000 on-line students.
Remember when Marshall played Grand Canyon University in basketball? 40,000 on-line students.
Brick and Mortar is expensive. Expensive to maintain.
If I were going to college now, no way I would go and spend 4 years on a campus somewhere. Frankly, the best way to do it NC is to go to one of the community colleges for 2 years and then transfer over. Saves a ton of money. Oh and the community college in our county? Is bigger than Ohio State.
Yes.I have nothing but my observations to note here, no hard stats.
Grand Canyon is also a religious school. BYU has a big online presence....religious.
But it really seems like a lot of the key players in this market are not, you know, "real universities". What the hell is Southern New Hampshire? A little private college. Marshall's mission is to be a regional research university educating mostly Appalachians. I am wary of mission creep...which is a big thing that got WVU into trouble.
ASU, how many of those online students are in-state? Arizona has over 7 million residents. How exactly would MU differentiate itself from other players in this market to people not from the region?
