The first rule of Henley-Putnam, is that you don’t talk about Henley-Putnam.

I am currently enrolled in the M.S. Counterterrorism program at HPU and I have never learned so much, so fast. I strongly recommend this university to anyone who is eager to break into or continue in the strategic security field.

Will anyone speak to how some of these comments have alerted HPU Communication Liaisons? HPU, rightly; need not defend itself against “muck-wreckers” – but it would be interesting to know how wide their “net” is, especially if responding to misinformation. I am researching the general age and general background for enrolled students, their comments. Where do interested HPU prospects really go to talk? My limited research seems to suggest, the more comments rebutting negative comments, the more educational value one can actually secure from a conversational college. How can anyone say; whom- I must assume is commenting from their right mind: suggest that $28k is an expensive education for a Masters Degree? Is that not about 15 to 25% lower than most MB schools offering a ” narrow career field specialization education program”? Am I looking at the wrong general cost structures, for common, good quality schools that offer “narrow career field educational MB programs? Thank you for these comments, everyone. I am leaning toward this school, rather than Capella.

Hey Chris W, not sure if you’re gonna be notified by this, but I’m in the same position you were when you posted this, and I’d like to talk to you about your experience so far with HPU. Please e-mail me @ andrewillard_09@hotmail.com

HPU and AMU both offer degrees in the Intelligence field, and both are ok schools. And yes HPU says 90 credits. But you are required to bring 30 GE credits with you. AMU will let you transfer credits, or take them in house. AMU offers post grad certs in Asymmetric Warfare, which will smoke your brain… I don’t care who you are……and its fully tits in the private world.

If an employer “throws your resume in the trash” because you have an AMU or HPU degree than they are retarded. Universities are fashion shows anyway….. Nobody cares where you went to school, they just want to see that you can make a commitment and follow through with something and your not totally hopeless.

I’m not going to jump thru hoops and say they are the best of the best. But a lot of you guys think you just leave school and your Jason Bourne……. that’s not the case. HPU and AMU give you the ground you need to build on. The absolute basics. All of your trade and techniques will be learned if and when you get accepted to wherever you are trying to go. If you want to be an analyst or whatever…. doesn’t matter, you have to build from some sort of course/theory. Just to understand the history and concept of intelligence.

A lot of the people posting on here really have no idea what they are talking about.
Relax. If you don’t like the schools, go somewhere else. It’s not your degree. Go where you want to go and don’t discredit people’s choice for wanting to go to school.

The staff and administration in general seems to have exceptional work experience and solid education credentials. Michael Corcoran PhD., President of the University and Co-Founder, has work experience including serving as an agent in the Secret Service for 10 years as well as starting his own business security assessment and training company in 1988. He has a BS from UCLA in Behavioral Studies. He received a “PhD” from Newport University which has the required approval to operate (must be renewed every three years) which only confirms that they do teach classes and grade tests but it is not accredited. His business is supposedly located in Newport Beach. Business Directories have it listed at various retail strip center address. Unsurprisingly, none of them have a business there by the name of Workthreat Group. The phone number listed on their website traces to El Toro, CA, which is about 30 minutes away. He also worked in unspecified law enforcement capacity for 20 years. He has been cited by some local newspapers as an expert commentator. He is listed in the American Red Cross of Orange County’s Disaster Preparedness Academy ’03 Faculty Directory. Workthreat Group often provides lecture and course material for HPU.

I don’t know what to make of his company or of his Newport University PhD but he seems to have a good deal of work experience.

Since when do people plod through college to work at the CIA? The real people who are taking these online porgrams are the ones who are working contracts and in the military. The government just wants us to have the degrees and check the block, they don’t really care where we get them from because they know we already have a lifetime of knowledge and experience. If you are trying to go to online school to get into the CIA you might as well give up…you will never make it…why don’t you go join the military and get the experience for free and have them pay for these online degrees. And to all the people bashing online/distance education –> GET A LIFE! Most of us who do online/distance education work fulltime…defending your freedom to blabber on in this forum..

Jerry – The reason you dont see the core classes (math, english, etc.) is that according to thier website you have to have completed these through another school and have those credits transfered. The focus on the “major” reqirements so those classes are not given through HPU. I currently work in the intel community and everbody that I have talked to in a variety of companies and agencies have said the not only accept HPU degrees, but are very happy to see that a perticular candidate has completed thier degrees at this school f ocusing on the intelligence community. This input has helped me decide to attend the school to further my career goals. Good luck to all of you that are looking to attend this school.
