Capellastudent,

On one side, I think you are correct in saying that it is clear that the fellow who runs the anti capella websites also is posting here. However, he is not the only person who has expressed concerns about their degrees, and I can guarantee you that, at least in my case, I have not posted anywhere else on the subject.

Regarding the argument you make about teaching, it has several problems. First, just because 80% of these people are teaching, does not mean that the capella degree got them those jobs, or that the degree will be considered by those institutions when they have completed it. I know someone who was hired as professionally qualified with a master's degree. They are enrolled in an online program for a Ph.D. but their institution has already indicated that they will not recognize the degree, nor allow the person to use the title Dr. when they have it.

Second, you do not specify the type of employment (adjunct, full-time, tenure track ect.). I know quite a few people with Master's degrees who teach as adjuncts. I also know several who teach full-time, but in non-tenure-track positions.

Third, you don't mention what type of schools they are teaching at. The vast majority of people with unaccredited (professionally) Ph.D.s tend to work at private colleges or community colleges. If that's your goal, then you're fine. I will reiterate however, that most colleges of business will not consider a Ph.D. from a non-AACSB college of business. I suspect it is similar in other fields that have professional accrediting bodies.
