Combined M.Ed. & Ed.D from RA University (Upgrad Philippines)

Upgrad is offering a combined M.Ed.-Ed.D. option in several different areas of education:

• Master and Doctor of Education in Emerging Technologies in Education
  
• Master and Doctor of Education in Online Learning and Education Technology
  
• Master and Doctor of Education in K-12 Educational Leadership
  
• Master and Doctor of Education in Higher Educational Leadership
  
• Master and Doctor of Education in Curriculum Studies and Learning Sciences

Degrees are issued by Edgewood College, which is an RA Catholic college in Wisconsin (USA). The minimum eligibility requirement is "a bachelors degree in any field".

For both the RA master's & the doctorate, you'll be set back roughly 13,000 US dollars, depending on where you are in the world. I don't think I've seen a better deal out there for this combo.

The estimated time for completion: 30 months.

HLC accredited too. Seems like a good deal.

 

Does it matter that these programs are only offered online? They do offer some doctorates on campus, but not in any of the programs listed above.

 

There is a great deal to like about the Philippines educational system. Gotta say, though, I'd rather study in residence in Quezon City at UoP than via D/L.

I am not familiar with any part of this vast country outside of Luzon but I really like Luzon and its people. So if one were to pursue the degree via D/L, visits to the campus would be most worthwhile.

I'm glad English is widely spoken. Tagalog is impossible to my ears!

 

Of course, the reason English is widely spoken is a bit dark. More that a "bit" dark, in fact.

 

Looking back more closely at the site, there's one other interesting find:

Thus, depending on where you live, whether you're certain that you'll go through with the whole program, and are sure that you like working with Upgrad, you could get this dual degree offering for as low as 11,050 US dollars.
