    Finally decided I better make my ass get back in college....and I've been kinda considering Aakers.

    Anybody able to give me any advantages/disadvantages of doing it through Aakers?

    I'm going for accounting by the way

      Good for the small class sizes and flexible schedules. Bad because tuition costs are a little higher than NDSU and MSUM. I like it so far though, Ive been at Aakers since January. Its a pretty good school.

      I wanna go fast!

        I've heard it's hard to transfer classes to msum or ndsu. I went to MSCTC and it was alright. Everything transferred to MSUM. Cost will be less, but maybe aakers has a better program since it is more of a business school.

              Same here. Plus I heard it was overpriced and you couldn't transfer most credits to a larger school.

                I went there for awhile and it is expensive also pretty much none of your classes will transfer if you decide to go to a different college.

                      I think they may be close to having that taken care of so that you can.

                        Not true, places that higher, especially for professional jobs look at the college you went to and how good of a college it is. I would bet that someone that has a BA in business or a MBA from a 4 year college (NDSU, U of M) would get hired over someone that went to Aakers. My uncle went to Duke for an international MBA, I guarentee you he'd get hired over anyone that went to or would ever go to Aakers.... I went to MSCTC-Fergus Falls and transferred to NDSU after I got my AA, and it's something i'd recommend for other's to do. Just make sure you take all the right classes for the first 2 years of generals...I had a problem with not having all the right classes when I transferred.

                            A degree doesn't mean you're smart, it means you're able to learn well...

                            Basically the college you get the degree from tells them how easy you learn difficult material (Havard material is more difficult than NDSU which is more difficult than MSCTC and so on).

                              NDSU and Aakers use a lot of the same books from what I've seen/heard.

                                Im going to be going to aakers for network administration (AAS) in october. I looked at MSCTC and aakers. Aakers was a little more expensive but the way they have the classes and things set up seems like it would work better for me. A friend of mine completed the same course and from his experience it fully prepares you for A+, Cisco, MCP, MCSE, and other certifications. From what he said it's a pretty difficult course and is nothing like a 'i want to learn about computers' type thing. I'm pretty pumped about it. Also, when I tried to get with someone from MSCTC they were as helpfull as a stick of butter in the desert. I understand that they are a bigger school, but they could at least make it seem like they give a shit whether you go there or not. my .02

                                D S ohm, you and I should get together sometime and discuss 1gs. I think I met you one time at Dairy Queen and you made fun of my roommates 2g n/t. I'm sure your not that much of a dick in a setting with less testosterone than a meet am i right? 🙂

                                          not to bash aakers or anything. But my dad is an admissions rep there. I was going to go there for network administration. but found out through him and the proffesser that teaches the networking stuff there. To take it through NDSCS at the skills center. You have to add a few classes to the program they have set up(math and english) to get an aas degree out of it.
