<p>HELLO , CALIFORNIA STATES UNIVERSITY (like CSUN, CSULA or other...)
are they Good university ??
what do you think about it ? wich one is the best to study Business ??</p>
<p>and other question, i find in Los angeles " Pacific States University "
i went there , it's a very small school, there are almost only asian people
because the manager is KOREAN , the school looks ok but little strenge, but its fast to study and to get the BBA so i would like to know
if someone heard about it ??</p>
<p>My alma mater, Cal State Fullerton, has an excellent business program. But I have to say I never heard of Pacific States University, and I've lived in Calif for over 20 years.</p>
<p>Pacific States Unversity is pretty obscure. I'd never heard of it prior to this thread, and I live in Southern California. I think you could do better elsewhere.</p>
<p>Pacific State University's accreditation tells the story. It is not accredited by either the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the main regional accrediting agency for colleges and universities, nor is it accredited by the AACSB(Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), the main accrediting agency for business programs. It is, however, accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, the main accrediting agency for VOCATIONAL schools. (Good article on accreditation: <a href="http://www.back2college.com/library/accreditfaq.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.back2college.com/library/accreditfaq.htm</a>)</p>
<p>Why is this important? Several reasons. First, there is a huge difference between the education at traditional four year colleges and universities and vocational schools. A degree from a vocational school is often limited in the scope and quality of curriculum, while traditional colleges offer a broader education. It can also be difficult to get into traditional graduate schools if you have graduated from a vocational school. Many employers look down on job applicants with degrees from vocational schools, which can make a degree from some vocational schools nearly worthless.</p>
<p>The question, of course, is what you want out of a college education. If you are seeking mainly specific job skills, then a vocational school can be an OK choice. But, if you are seeking a broader education combined with career skills, a traditional college or university is likely to be a better choice, and also make you more marketable when it comes to hunting for a job.</p>
<p>One other thing to be concerned with if you are considering a vocational school is that many (but not all) tend to have extremely poor graduation rates. They attract students, especially low income students, with the promise of jobs upon graduation, but then offer very little in the way of support to help students graduate. Additionally, they frequently offer much less financial aid than traditional schools, and can be less financially stable overall as well. I am not saying that this is the case with Pacific States, but you should investigate very carefully before you pay tuition to a vocational school. </p>
