Just with these few thoughts, I have described "innovative" characteristics of online programs including professional staff, rigorous curriculum and a program that entices a group of learners who will challenge and enhance the learning environment.

More on "interventions'
After reading a few of my fellow classmates blogs and watching the morning - the University of Phoenix's add came on with the program quote of "Thinking ahead - Where your are today and where you want to go tomorrow." The realization became apparent that my first impression of a higher education program was the University of Phoenix. The closest branch of this University is approximately 60 miles away - but marketing and advertising brought residents of my town the understanding of the possibilities of online learning in higher education. With all of my educational experiences, on-line learning was not incorporated into any of my programs. Prior to beginning my administration graduate work, I actually checked out the program and I was impressed with the curriculum offered and the professional staff credentials. I had the opportunity to speak to a student who shared her thoughts concerning the rigor of the program.

I worked for UOP and there are some serious ethical problems with that university. In most cases unless the student continues their education beyound a BA degree with them, they will not be able to seek a graduate degree at any other college. I also taught for them and in my opinion they do not prepare their students academically and are for profit. You really do not want to know how their enrollment counselors function. I know several students who tried to go to a traditional college after UOP, not only where credits denied, they are not respected. Though they market their school very well, they have some serious issues and the student suffers.
