How are we different from the Certified and Accredited Genealogist?
Although the AG and CG designations are excellent and above reproach, we are in
the process of offering an ACADEMIC ACCREDITED
post-graduate diploma that provide higher
level concepts,
curriculum and theory that are not addressed in these programs. Our program is
aimed more toward an academic community
who
possess an entry level degree in the social or natural sciences. We do, however,
offer the A.C.G. which is an accredited certificate program.
Our
post-graduate program is for students with a BA or higher education who wish to
master aspects of genealogical theory, research, higher levels of educational
studies, comparative studies and aspects of anthropology, history, heraldry,
ethics and genetics..Upon completion, a student would possess a silimar
name recognition - John Smith, BA, Lic. G
Altair - School Journal
Altair (Alpha Aquilae, Alpha Aql, α Aquilae, α Aql, Atair) is the brightest star in the constellation Aquila and the twelfth brightest star in the night sky. It is an A-type main sequence star with an apparent visual magnitude of 0.77 and is one of the vertices of the Summer Triangle; the other two are Deneb and Vega" [Wikipedia]
ALTAIR is the official journal of the American College of Genealogy. The journal articles are to be submitted no later than 15 May and 15 October. The process is by Peer Review.
"Scholarly peer review (also known as refereeing) is the process of subjecting an author's scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field, before a paper describing this work is published in a journal. The work may be accepted, considered acceptable with revisions, or rejected. Peer review requires a community of experts in a given (and often narrowly defined) field, who are qualified and able to perform impartial review. Impartial review, especially of work in less narrowly defined or inter-disciplinary fields, may be difficult to accomplish; and the significance (good or bad) of an idea may never be widely appreciated among its contemporaries
[Wikipedia].
