Africa Nazarene University

Exactly so. This is especially shameful for a Christian university. I'll stay clear of them!

 

I don't know; $35 is pretty cheap to find out more information about a school. I think I might do it myself just to see what happens.

 

i will encourage you to reconsider. The fee is small enough to listen to what they have to say. Anyway foreigners is about 20% more. Thanks

 

I think there may also be a difference between B&M and distance institutions. Most distance schools were never free - there was no point in making them so. I don't think there's ANY place in Europe where North Americans can get a free distance degree -- or people in this forum (including yours truly) would be all over it. There was a free distance MBA opportunity (including foreigners) at a Swedish school, Blekinge, but the free deal (for non-EU residents) has long since been cancelled. Last I looked it was over $15K. http://www.degreeinfo.com/business-mba-degrees/37162-i-warned-ya-but-you-didnt-listen-free-mba-now-%2415-063-89-a.html

I guess I'm still an EU resident on paper (I'm technically a Brit., though legally resident in Canada) but not for long - Brexit approacheth.

Can you name one school in these countries - or elsewhere in Europe e.g. France, Spain, Poland, Romania etc. where we can earn a free degree, by distance? I don't know of any.

Pretty cheap huh? I don't have a problem paying the $35 application fee. In fact the highest application fee I've paid to date is $100. What I do have a problem with, is paying $35 to get a breakdown of the tuition. I didn't have to pay Ashworth, Don Bosco nor Lamar to get information and I'm not about to pay ANU either.

 

University of Oslo in Norway is tuition free, however, these programs seem to be campus based.

It's no big deal, I really don't need 3 master's degree. I will just do some certificate courses online when I'm done at Lamar and until I can gain admissions at Cal U of PA.

 

I agree. A fee schedule is pretty basic. If you wanted foreign students it is a good way promote the school. To charge you $35 to find out is preposterous.

 

Yes, I have to submit a writing sample. They have been great to deal with. They have even been the ones to call so I didn't have to pay the long distance fee!

Yes, you have to pay the fee, It's very simple. You are a non-resident and they are going out of there way to help you. This is not some run down school begging for US dollars. This is a University of the Nazarene Church and it's well funded and staffed with very good faculty. Check this attitude at the door Brother and you will get much more out of life.

You are not a Christian clearly. What you just said there is the first thing that everyone says to Christians (*see notes below). You are the one acting Shameful. I do not understand what your problem is. They have different rates for different parts of the world based on need. Also, as its not really by the credit, they need to see your education history to see where you stand. I hope you stay clear of them for their sake, Id hate that they would have to put up with a demanding spoiled American like you. One that refused to follow there up front written polices and then complained because the staff would not break the rules for you.

What do you know about me?! I have no problem with my attitude but it's obvious that you do. That's your problem not mine.

For someone who I assume is a "Christian," you sure are judgmental. I guess that's what Christians are good at anyway!!

You seem so hurt because I refuse to pay $35 to get information that I can get for free from transparent colleges. You're obviously the one with a problem. I'd rather use my $35 to subscribe to a porn site!!

A laughable concept. When did I discuss my citizenship with you? You're the one displaying a rambunctious and puerile behavior over a decision a well-thinking adult has made. Go take several seats!!!

If that's it.

 

That's a different university. http://www.anu.ac.ke/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Fee-Structure-2017-DL.pdf

 

Very ridiculous. It's like going to rent an apartment and the leasing office tells me to pay the application fee then they will tell me how much the rent costs. What if I can't afford the rent quoted?! It means I would have just wasted a few $ on application fee.

 

b4 - Since you have paid the fee, you could report on the tuition and other costs, no?

 

Ach! I took a wrong turn somewhere.

 

A few things here.... Kizmet is right, since b4cz28 has already done this, he/she should just report what the information is. Help a brother out . chrisjm18, there is nothing "especially shameful", respectfully. It is just $35 dollars-although I am on your side as I agree they should provide this up front. I mean, you are attempting to look into a school located in the same part of the world that Eddie Murphy was heir to the throne of (this is a joke... if you get it though, you get a gold star!). That said let's leave the generalizations about Christians out of it. It's not helpful nor classy... Can you two cool it please.

b4cz28, will you please provide the info- and save us all $35? Pretty please, with a cherry on top. Thanks bud

 

First of all, the idea that Germany has free higher education is mainly an American thing. Germans (as well as German media) call thier system "tuition fee free". Partly because there is always a small semester fee, but the more important reason is the fact that everyone knows who really pays the bill. The point is: Most German tax payers are OK with that. That's probably a huge difference to the US.

However, University of Hagen (the so called "Fernuni", and Germany's only public distance learning university) is a special case. It seems not to be mentioned on thier website, probably because the same also applies to all private German DL universities, but thier fees include the costs of all textbooks. That's a difference between DL and B&M universities in Germany.

Of course there is a difference. A private university may get taxpayer money for things like research, for instance, but not for its teaching activeties. Students at private universites pay relatively high (from a European perspective) tuition fees.

Yes, it’s possible other states will follow suit in the time to come. Until now, however, there are no signs of that. It is also very unlikely that all states will follow. General tuition fees were also limited to some German states. By the way. Germany did not accept about 1 million people in one year. One million applied for asylum, but many didn't get it granted. I don't know the exact number, but it is not that small. These people had/have to go home, or they get deported.

There is a difference, but it depends on the country. In Scandinavia, there is no real difference. In countries like Austria and Germany, however, there is one. The point of view in these countries is that DL/online education is for people who either want to advance within their careers, or who want to change careers. That means these people already have an income. Therefore, it is OK for them to pay (moderate) tuition fees.

You are not an EU resident but you are an EU citizen, until Brexit takes effect (of course). That difference isn't relevant in terms of education.

Unfortunately, I'm also unaware of any school in Europe were an US citizen can earn a free DL degree. I guess such a school does not exsit. And why should European tax payers pay for the education of Americans?

 

Always good to see a myth finally explode.
