Master of Applied Linguistics - opinions

I am looking for a good MA in Applied Linguistics to do either online or by distance education. The most intriguing one I've found is from the University of New England in Australia. Their program is available mostly or entirely online, is relatively inexpensive, and can be completed in one year. But, is it any good? I am looking to teach English at a university in Japan and in the Gulf and they usually want an MA in linguistics or a related field. Will employers like these happliy accept and online MA like this one? UNE is an accredited Australian university and is certainly legitimate. My only worry is that the program might be considered too lightweight to be worth anything when I do end up applying for jobs.

Any opinions aout this particular MA from UNE?
Thanks,
R.

  • [/nq] You should ask at the nearest Japanese embassy whether they will accept the online MA from that or any university.
  • I'm no longer informed about what's acceptable in Japan (where I taught English in universities for 10 years until 10 years ago), but it's not up to individualuniversities to decide that your degree is or is not legitimate; it's up to the Ministry of Education.
