To me, a real degree is one that teaches creative thinking - preferably a liberal arts degree.



I've done both - went to UCI for an Art History degree and went to UOP for a Business Management degree. I found both systems to have their own pluses and minuses. I didn't find the UOP education to be useless at all, but very practical and informative about other aspects of field I was already working in. It was also quite doable with my busy professional life. But, I still value my UCI education more, but it certainly didn't teach me how to be an effective Marketing Manager.
