| | A. | I know people who have done courses and programs from Athabasca. It has been offering distance education for at least 30 years now, and is well recognized. I have been impressed with what I have seen, with the academic component, with the support for students, and with the flexibility of options. | | | |
| Q. | What do employers and students think about Athabasca University? | Related Search: Higher Education (University ) | | | I was looking to enroll myself in the Human Resources degree program at Athabasca University. However, I have to idea how this school is rated.
| | A. | I work for the Graduate Students' Association at AU (we are a separate entity from the university, so I am not a university employee), and all of the students I've had the opportunity to speak with are very happy with their experience at Athabasca. Of course, there are complaints. Just like any other university, things aren't perfect.
But, AU is a legitimate university and, despite its open admissions policy, it offers challenging and engaging courses, at least at the graduate level (I can't speak to the undergraduate level, but I believe that it is also of a very high standard). | | | |
| Q. | Would my college allow me to take a course at Athabasca University? | Related Search: Higher Education (University ) | | | I go to school in Ontario, Canada and I want to take a online course so it fits my schedule. Would my university allow me to take online course at other school?
Hi, [Link] . Well, Athabasca has partnership with UWO. Well, mine is not on the list.
And that is my concern.
| | A. | Why not? Most course credits are transferable.
Just make sure that this particular course is acceptable to your present University. Maybe check with your Registrar's office to make sure before committing any money.
BTW I took a course at Athabasca U and the credit transferred nicely to UWO.
Good luck! | | | |
| Q. | Does anyone know if classes through Athabasca University are hard or easy? | Related Search: Higher Education (University ) | | | I want to take 3 EASY science classes. They can be in any type of science over the summer, does anyone of any suggestions?
| | A. | My daughter had to take a semester off because of illness and took 3 courses through Athabasca, mostly in the Health Science. She found that while the courses were not pushovers, and were by no means easy, they were not particularly difficult either. They were genuine university level courses and you have to expect the same level of difficulty as at a lower end state or provincial university.
However, they were pretty easy on completion time and she took almost a year to finish them. | | | |

It sounds amazing, but I'm wondering what kind of accreditation a graduate would have from this school. Nothing against online schools, but damn, I wouldn't want to get a degree and then not be able to find a decent job after.

| | A. | Athabasca University is legitimate and well run. it's not Harvard but it does not pretend to be either. Their degrees and credentials are OK and recognised in Canada. Students who graduate from SAIT with a business administration diploma often continue to a degree in Athabasca. so if you want another point of view, try to contact SAIT or SAIT students (maybe there are some visiting this site!) | | | |
