    Hello All

    First I want to thank all the members of this board. It was because of the information and posts here that I was able to complete my BS degree. I am now in my Masters program and am turning to the members here again for any assistance that can be offered. Due to time and life constraints, I need to complete my degree program asap and utilize my degree to increase my income. In order to speed up the process, I need to take a:

    DL

    regionally accredited

    3 or 4 credit

    Public management, or Public sector relations course.

    As noted above, the course must be RA, 3 or 4 credits, and must be able to be completed quickly (preferably 8 to 12 weeks) via DL. I am willing to pay up to $400 per credit hour. I just need to complete the course asap as my current school won't offer it until the fall of this year which would force me to wait an additional 4 months to graduate which my family and I can not afford. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Thank You

    Oops.

    Boy... talk about being in a hurry and not even bothering look at what I wrote. Honestly, I do know that one doesn't close an "i" tag with a slashed b... but by the time I looked, the 10-minute editing period had timed-out.

    Sheesh! :rolleyes:

    Golden Gate University offers DL public administration courses under its Cybercampus Executive Master of Public Administration program. The courses are 4 units each, 10 weeks long, and cost, I think, around $1500/course.

    The university is, of course, regionally accredited, and has been around for over 100 years. Its Cybercampus programs are cited by US News & World Report as among America's best online programs.

    Keller Graduate School of Management of DeVry University also offers DL public administration courses through its online MPA program. The school has switched to the 8-week/term calendar, so that should make completing each course faster. I think the courses are in the $1700-$1800/course range now.

    The university is regionally accredited. Keller Graduate School of Management was a separate entity for decades until it merged with DeVry Institutes of Technology in 2001 to form the new DeVry University.

    In 2000, ComputerWorld listed Keller Graduate School of Management among the top business schools in the US for executive education along with Northwestern (Kellogg), Harvard, MIT (Sloan), Michigan, Stanford, and Georgia Institute of Technology (DuPree).

    Troy (State) University

    My wife just finished (in May) her MPA with Troy State University. Her concentration was in IT Management. Her only complaints were with the professor for those courses. It was very reasonably priced ($10K - $12K) and she was generally very satisfied. They have extensive distance learning experience...
