    For myself, as an example, I wouldn't mind spending money on a DBA / DIT combo at AMA University in the PI (Philippine Islands). If they really did change their admissions requirements for the better, the cost for each is about $5K USD, total would be $10K USD. Having both degrees completed for less than the price of a NA Doctorate at Apollo University does look appealing on paper (Apollo DBA with AI or IT concentration is $18K USD). Here's my previous thread: Inexpensive Doctorates - Search your desired country | DegreeInfo

    I received my WUSTL student number and I will soon receive my WUSTL student card.
    WUSTL post-master's students are considered campus students.
    I received my student books in digital format today, my student ID and my log in details.
    I look forward to the program.

    I got my own WUSTL email address for this programme.
    Quite a cool extra little feature.
    You also get a WUSTL ID Key to log on to Canvas like other students.
    They also sent me instructions on how I can order transcripts.
    It really gives you that extra little feeling of being considered a real student from WUSTL.
    So far very satisfied with customer service and after care.
    The representative checked up on me multiple times to see if I had already activated X, Y, Z.
    Even some very expensive programmes don't do that.
    Super experience so far with this university.

    @TeacherBelgium , How do you juggle or manage your many studies along with your work? You've got great time management skills!

    8 hours of work a day, 6.5 hours of studying a day, 1.5 hour for 3 meal-breaks a day, 5-6 hours of sleep and 1-2 hours of free time / relaxation.
    It's doable but you have to give up a lot for it, true :)
    But it's not eternal, so I can live with it.
    I'm a very busy person. Always doing 10 things simultaneously ^^

    PS:
    Working from home also means no lost time in traffic trails ;-)
