Amberton: 18 credit second Master's degrees

I have no idea what happened, but my first attempt at posting this led to some funky errors that didn't let anyone see the thread. Let's try again!

I don't know if this is new or not, but this is the first I've seen of it despite extensively looking into Amberton in the past. I knew that Amberton would waive credits for an additional Master's degree if you already completed one with them. What I didn't know was this:



So, Amberton will waive credits from a second master's degree even if your first degree is from a different school. Also, they will take up to 12 credits off, whether it's a 36 or 30 credit degree. In short, you can get a second Master's degree for 18 credits (6 courses, $5,400).

Option B is to transfer up to 12 graduate credits that have not been previously applied to another Master's degree:



This may be a good option for those who complete the ASU/Thunderbird free graduate certificate. It may be difficult to get the credits to line up with the degree curriculum, but at the very least, the MS in Agile Project Management allows up to 6 general business administration elective credits, and the MS in Data Analytics allows up to 9.

Speaking of which, Amberton's MS in Enterprise Analytics has been renamed to an MS in Data Analytics. Although I thought "Enterprise Analytics" had a nice ring to it, it makes sense that they'd make a change to the more standard nomenclature. I don't know if the curriculum is any different.

 

By the way, here are Amberton's 30-credit Master's degrees. There aren't many.

- MS in Data Analytics
- MS in Agile Project Management
- MBA in Entrepreneurship*

*This may be a good option for transferring credits from the ASU/Thunderbird graduate certificate in Global Management & Entrepreneurship. There are 6 credits of electives in the degree and maybe some similar enough courses from the graduate certificate to be accepted as transfer.
