    Columbia University's Doctor of Engineering is hard to accomplish the admission. You are required to get a Professor to sponsor your research at the admission stage; if you can't get one you'll have to take two courses about $14,000.00 in tuition and fees to establish the relationship with a Professor.

    Maybe I am overlooking it but it does not seem to have required virtual lectures. From a program offered by Dartmouth, I’d expect interaction with the Professor and classmates more than a discussion forum.

    Also, the program is (8) courses with the 9th course being the capstone. I’d like to see a minimum of (10) courses in a masters program.

    Hey, that just more classes I can afford.

    You can add these to the list:


    I mean personally, I’d avoid programs with less than 10 courses required for the degree. My MBA required 12 and my MS required 16. I just do not understand how Dartmouth and UC-Berkeley can offer Masters programs that have less than 30 credit hours/units. To each their own though.

    Yes, for someone who wants a degree, when you get up to the graduate level, make sure to take the 30+ credit versions, when you get to the doctoral, you can research further what can/can't be transferred in... some allow Masters courses as exemptions or transfers...

    I'm with you on this, Josh - but I should mention we've seen others under 30 credits -- in fact, we discussed an 18-unit MPA from Marywood. An accredited Master's degree, not a grad cert. or any other type of award. An outlier of course, but still -- from an RA school, apparently with full approval.

    It is still cheaper than Columbia University's program via CVN. The tuition at Columbia is almost double.

    My thought was that since they don't disclose the credit breakdown that it's possible some of those are 4 credit courses, not three. If you take three courses at 3 credits (18) and three courses at 4 credits (12) you land at 30. Once you get below 10 courses , I worry about getting the required depth. Even exactly at 30, I felt like my MS was just enough.

    Also: that 18-credit Marywood MPA is wild!
