What's a Wharton Degree Worth?

Just over $435,000, at least according to a federal jury.

"The Philadelphia jury last week awarded the money to Frank Reynolds, chairman and chief executive of Cambridge-based biotech start-up InVivo Therapeutics Inc.


Reynolds, 45, thought an “Executive Masters in Technology Management” degree he signed up for in 2002 would come from Wharton. Instead, it came from Penn’s engineering school.

Reynolds says he wasn’t told that until 2003, a year after he enrolled. He declined the degree until earlier this year, sued for breach of contract and won."

Do Teachers Need Education Degrees?

Interesting discussion around teachers, degrees and compensation:

"But current teacher training has a large chorus of critics, including prominent professors in education schools themselves. For example, the director of teacher education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Katherine Merseth, told a conference in March that of the nation’s 1,300 graduate teacher training programs, only about 100 were doing a competent job and “the others could be shut down tomorrow.” And Obama administration officials support a shift away from using master’s degrees for pay raises, and a shift toward compensating teachers based on children’s performance."
