    "content": "I am a university professor. I do not understand how you can get a bachelors degree which is a basic degree by writing book reports. There must be certain basic course works that you have to do. If you take a basic degree in Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and Diplomacy, there is something called Theories and Concepts of International Affairs or World International Relations that you must do. Therefore, I was alarmed that he earned a degree on the basis of this transcript. He then did a research report on Regional and Economic Integration; Africa’s Experience and got a grade “B”. I have written a book on Regional Integration in Africa: An Unfinished Agenda . I would be happy to see the report and find out its content. The topic itself is uncannily reflective of the title of my book. If you go further and look at Wikipedia to find out what a Bachelor’s Degree in the US means, you will see that a Bachelor’s Degree in the US is typically designed to be completed in four years of full time studies although some programmes such as engineering and architecture usually take five years and some universities and colleges allow ambitious students, with the help of Summer School, to complete them in as little as three years. The only thing you will know from this transcript is that he got it in the year 2001. There is no history before 2001 on how he arrived there and whether writing book reports took Mr. Boinett three good years and why he only did three book reports. A Bachelor’s Degree is very fundamental before you move to any other. The Commission on Higher Education writes, with regard to this university as follows; The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
