Questions & Answers

Is Capella University recognized in Canada?

Do the online schools accept transfer credits from Thomas Edison, Charter Oak, or Excelsior College?
Submitted on: June 12, 2012

Thomas Edison State College and Excelsior College are accredited by the Middle States Association and Charter Oak is accredited by the New England Association, so transfer credits from any of these institutions should be valid. You should check, however, to see that the credits you want to transfer to a new school align with the graduation requirements of that school.

I enjoyed the teachings/findings of Sigmund Freud, what is a good field of study?
Submitted on: June 12, 2012

Freud's influence has been felt in fields as diverse as psychoanalysis, philosophy, medicine and the arts. Studying psychology, however, is the most common way of following in Freud's footsteps.

Are any of these online schools recognized by Israel Ministry of Education?
Submitted on: June 11, 2012

While the Israeli Ministry of Education probably does not keep a comprehensive list of the foreign schools it recognizes, a good rule of thumb is that if an online school is accredited by one of the six regional agencies that accredit American nonprofit schools (and some for-profit ones) it should pass muster with the Ministry of Education. These agencies are the New England, North Central, Middle States, Southern, Western and Northwest Associations. On our site, Kaplan University and the University of Phoenix, among other schools, are accredited by one of these agencies.

Which one is better, a Ph.D or a PsyD?
Submitted on: May 7, 2012

It depends on what you are looking to do with the degree. If you want to become a child psychologist, either on a hispital staff or with a private practice, you should pursue a PsyD, which is oriented toward clinical work. The PhD is for individuals who are looking to do research in the field, publish, and perhaps ultimately become professors who teach other psychologists.
