    Questions about Kaplan University

    Okay so i'm finishing my 2 year degree online with University of Phoenix, and i'm going to go on to my Bachelor's.

    Their IT course really are lacking, and they dont' do computer programming degrees anyhow.

    Kaplan offers online tutoring, instant messenger, and computer science and programming classes, even with game design. What does everyone think about Kaplan? I know they are accredited, but i also know that some employers dont' recognize certain schools when you go to apply for a job. Does anyone have any input on this? I'd like to keep going online because it is easier with my work schedule and travel than going in town, yet at the same time, i'd like to go in town, but will have to cut back my work hours.

    What does everyone think? I'd like to seriously get into game programming and design.

    Heya, Zerofury.

    Find somebody you know (or who somebody you know knows and will set up a meeting for you) who's in a similar line of work, take him out to lunch and pick his brain.

    Find out where he went to school, who he talked to, get any advice you can. And try to let him do most of the talking.

    [EDIT: Don't let him waste any time eating, either. If he wants a free meal, he's going to have to work for it!]
