Staff Members with Phony Degrees?
n/a:
American InterContinental University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award Associate, Bachelor's and Master's degrees. This umbrella accreditation includes all approved branch campuses of the University.
While the university does offer on-line degrees it also has many branch campuses and is accredited.
Most universities now offer on-line degrees. It's becoming more common every year.

How common is it that mental health care providers aren't degreed in any discipline related to the field?
Would you let a PhD in chemical engineering perform surgery on you?
I see you avoided that issue entirely, n/a. Why don't you comment on the appropriateness of someone with no degree providing counseling services? I'll be waiting for your reply. Thanks.
n/a:
Perhaps the person's qualifications are the BA in Psychology, not the MEd in Education. The psychology degree is from Saint Anselm College according to the link provided in an earlier page on this site.
I am not trying to defend anyone, so please, be kind. I am just pointing out that a on-line degree is not necessarily bad. Twenty years ago, a distance education degree program was questionable. Now, very good universities have expanded their course offerings to include a variety of web based courses--many of which are interactive with the professor and the class. It's just a new world of education.

Let us be honest..There is no dispute of the person in question getting a BA in Psyche, or
getting an M.Ed. however she could..THese are not apporpriate credentials to be dealing with
troubled children..period...

But your employer states that there are over 40 masters level counselors on staff. How many are there really?
Your employer also states that "peer group counselors" are all masters level. How do you reconcile this with a peer group counselor with a BA?
