Hello everyone!
If was just wondering if there's any Athabasca grads around here, or maybe someone thats well familiar with the beings of such an individual. I'm an Ontario CAAT grad with a 3 year coop diploma in software engineering. I am employed and working in the field at the moment but would like to earn a bachelors degree as I feer in the not too distant future anything but a helpdesk will require such a designation. Athabasca U offers a post-diploma 2 year program which will grant me a B.Sc in CIS. Around here Athabasca isnt very well known and I've been wondering what kind of recognition have the Athabsca grads been getting following graduation. Macleans doesnt seem to "Rate it" and I wouldnt want to put in a lot of time and effort into something that wont be taken seriously by employers (mine doesnt really care as long as there's experience to back one up). Any kind of feedback from AU grads would be greatly appreciated.
