Denver-based Online MBA program accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council.

(PRWEB) January 11, 2005 -- American Graduate School of Management, founded in 2000 as a Vanderbilt University Technology Company, has been awarded accreditation by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).

This highly regarded recognition means students seeking premium online management education can enroll in American Graduate School of Management (AGSM) programs, confident that their education is recognized as being of the highest quality. Accreditation confers several other benefits; including enabling AGSM students to gain greater access to financial aid alternatives.

Joe B. Wyatt, Chairman of AGSM, said, The mission of the American Graduate School of Management is to deliver world class management education to our students and their organizations, at their point of need. We are delighted that our peers recognize our achievements and we will always strive to meet the evolving needs of our students."

Michael P. Lambert, Executive Director of DETC, stated: "We welcome AGSM to the ranks of accredited DETC institutions. DETC accreditation is a solemn assurance to students, employers, agencies and the public that AGSM will deliver on its promises. DETC accreditation is a highly respected badge of quality, and it is not easily gained. With this internationally recognized accreditation, AGSM joins a highly select group of elite distance learning universities from around the world, and we are proud to have them in DETC."

Cindy Smith, a current AGSM student, said, AGSM has created a unique online environment in which students can learn through class lectures, work as part of a team, and discuss topics and projects through an online forum. I don't feel like I am missing out by not physically attending a class and it allows me to balance work, family and school."
