I'm just speculating, but my guess is that the sponsorships didn't generate the necessary cash to keep the program afloat.
It didn't seem a sustainable model. Good luck to 'em but I wonder who would pay so much for a degree with limited utility. If you took one graduate AJU course per semester the cost would be nearly $1500. There are so many RA alternatives much cheaper than this.
I did. Just click the "My Andrew Jackson University Experience" link below to read about my experience there.
I did read your posts there. I was wondering if there is someone who is enrolled in this program and has been in it for awhile and could tell us the downside of being sponsored. Are you deluged with telemarketer calls and junk in your mailbox? I'm wondering what the downside is. To those who wonder about the utility of the degree, they are NA. You could take this degree to AMU (and others that are both NA and RA) and go from there. For some of us, we don't have boat loads of cash, don't want to finance something like this, and it is good enough to help us get ahead in life.
According to their catalog, if you used the sponsored tuition for one graduate course, the cost is $430, not including the book. The first semester would be $125 more because of the enrollment fee.
Yah, I realize that's the price for the sponsored program, but when that goes away the price is $400 for the term registration fee, $900 for the tuition, $30 for proctor fee and whatever for books. That's pricey, especially given the limitations of an NA degree. No quarrel with the quality, from what I read they're quite good courses.
I never got spammed or experienced anything negative as a result of signing up under the sponsored tuition program. The only thing I experienced was cheaper courses and a lot of school work!
