1. We had a situation where we wanted help from another department to start a joint degree. Both of the departments didn't have resources to implement it unilaterally. But, the other party insisted they would join the endeavor if only the degree is granted under their department. We found it would not help us much. It went on months long negotiation...... Then on a good day we struck a deal...both of us will have their own degree but we will share resources. Now both the departments have new degrees, basically they are the same, but in different names.
2. Long ago..I recall a news that Shaquille O'Neal received his Master's degree from the Univ. of Phoenix. They showed the graduation ceremony. I think this is a great form of advertisement for them to have such a well-known individual come out of their program. I don't remember what degree he received, but I don't think it really matters. I'm sure the convenience factor played a big role in his decision to get his degree from this institution. He is always on the road, and he may switch teams at any times, so he would be living in a different cities, and not always able to attend "brick and mortar" classes.
