Does anyone know of an international law degree program (not criminal justice) that you don’t have to give up your day job for 3-4 years in order to take?

I’m looking to compliment my MBA in International Business Strategy and my Doctorate in Organizational Leadership with a law degree but I haven’t been able to find anything that I can do in-between contracts.

I’m a Management Consultant by trade but I’m not making that much in the way of income that I can take off 3-4 years without working to pursue another degree.
Nice — Starts October 2009 which is perfect timing.

Not quite exactly what I’m looking for but is actually a nice fit considering it covers finance and economics as well.

Oxford University is teaching this substantially online now.

Be aware that International Law isn’t a practitioner degree. The JD or LLB will be required for that; and so far, online options are both limited and relatively unsuccessful.

I believe that most of the Master Degree students across our country are in the program because they believe that someone will give them a livable salary for nothing more then the time they spent in a classroom. I am particularly disenfranchised with MBA students. MBA students learn how to avoid risk for two years and then expect to work in a field were risk is the measure of success.

I say this because I am a small business owner. I can tell you, your Masters Degree does not matter to a business owner, it only matters to HR managers in gigantic corporations that can not react as fast as their smaller competition.

I hire two people per year. I give them a test (Predictive Interest), and an interview. I give each hire a 3 month trial period. A new hire is judged based on productivity, that it. If they can’t produce, I will fire them; I dont care if they have sat in a class room long enough to earn a PhD.

Me, I have 75 credits toward a degree in business administrations.
It’s no small thing for me to hire someone. I give most good employees a share in the company. I plan to sell it someday and they will likely make a lot of money.
@ ownpool – they need 6 months of employment to get unemplyment.
@ Giuseppe – If you are getting a Masters to teach at a community college or even hold a adjunct position at a reg college, I think you may wish to re-evaluate your goals.
@ Giueppe – How long will those employers keep you in managemt positions after they realize that you have never managed anyone before?

If you hired them, they could earn three months credit toward receiving unemployment compensation

I hope that as you are a very generous employer, you did not mind the joke.

I don’t care about school location, size, dorms, etc.

I am looking for an online college that …
-participates in the AU-ABC program
-has accelerated degree program (5-6 week courses)
-offers a Bachelor degree in something close to Information Systems Technology

Please Help!

The most I can tell you is to stay away from for-profit proprietary schools such as University of Phoenix.

Their classes are overpriced and their credits and degrees carry no respect.

I am looking to do my MBA and have been thinking of just going back to the same business school I did my BA in. I went to the University of Buffalo and it ranks in the top 50business schools in the US by Forbes. Should I do that instead of an online degree?

If you have an MBA how did you do it? Where did you go? and did it help you in career advancement?

I had a BA in Business concentrating in MIS and currently work in IT as an applications support analyst/help desk.

Some programs are absolutely outstanding. Others are the bottom of the pile. There are places like Duke U. doing their MBA online and that MBA has much more value than one from say, Eastern Yourstate State College in the classroom.

The thing is, online at a quality school is really hard. There’s a lot of writing to do and you don’t get the 1:1 time with the instructor. You have to be a top-notch manager of time to do well in these programs.

The best advice, attend the best school you can get into (online or classroom) and do the best quality work you are able while there.

I am a recovering alcoholic, and drug addict. I will be going to school (Start at a community college for my easy, transferable classes. Then go to a Hospital College for a begining start in Mental Behaviors. Ending up at LSU for my Masters.) for Psychology, I believe i can help younger people stray away from the lifstyle of the streets. If you have any experience, do you think this is a good way to go or what? Please feel free to contact me with help.

If you are wanting to eventually work as a drug and alcohol counselor this is a fine way to go. To practice any counseling or psychotherapy you need minimally a masters degree in psychology, counseling, or social work. With a masters in psychology or counseling you can be licensed as an LPC (licensed professional counselor) this license may be called something else depending on the state in which you live. As a social worker with a masters degree you can get licensed as such LCSM, MSW just depending on the state and your degree. There are additional certification programs you can earn like an LCDC (in texas..Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor). I would encourage you to examine each of the degrees and see if it fits with your views and also your goals in your career.

Getting a masters degree is difficult and you will need lots of family support in the process. Good luck and be sure to research any decision you may make about schooling.

If you want to get your doctorate I would suggest getting a doctorate in psychology. This way you can practice in more
