    Just finished my second class. Not bad overall, I got 15/36 credits done so far (9 transfer credits). People should consider joining the program for 3k it's a steal.

    My concern going in was that for the inexpensive price, the experience would be lacking, but it really hasn't been. There are certainly some things that can be done better. However, each class I've taken so far has been full of a variety of content, discussions, projects and even some live classes. I actually feel like I'm going to school rather than just getting a degree.

    Completely agree, you describe it well. It offers real value beyond the price and a degree to check a box.

    Completely agree with you , it’s a hidden gem and the quality of individual attention professors give due to small classes is great. As a student we really get to focus on the topics and get feedback every step of the way from professors. Small cohorts allows us to learn together and share more often. Overall a few things can be fixed or changed but the experience is great and with a knockout price of $3000 can’t beat it honestly. If you need the degree for a check box on a job application , a promotion , or you just want to learn business for personal reasons this is the program to go to.

    Another class down seems like the ship has sailed for the 3k tuition.

    The main MBA page still says "Affordable tuition starting at $3,000 for our MBA program." but it also says when you click the link that you need to be enrolled by November 2021 so I think you're right. They may just be slow in updating the site.

    They posted this on LinkedIn today. It would appear that they are either done with the $3k deal, or they are shying away from advertising it.

    The full cost of the MBA is around $14k, per the school catalog. At a 20% discount, that would bring it to around $11k. It's not a bad price by any means but there are several other schools, some of them with a longer history and name recognition, with lower costs.

    In any case, for someone with a huge fear of missing out, I can finally say that I didn't snooze and I didn't lose :emoji_blush:

    Good choice did you sign up? I am already 18 credits done, 18 more to go. Taking three courses in the spring.

    Yes, I enrolled back when this was first discussed on the forum and nobody knew if it was going to be extended.

    Nice, the same situation took 3 courses and had three waived. I have caught two ships so far before they sailed off. The Excelsior College MPA program when they were accepting up to 27 transfer credits and the Hellenic American Univerity 3k MBA program. Not bad all thanks to this forum. We can also include the 15k doctorate in healthcare administration from the Virginia University of Lynchburg which I just completed.

    Congratulations Doctor! Looking at your completed degree history, you obviously had the 90 graduate credit requirement for the DHA. Any word on how many folks need to complete extra semesters to complete that requirement? My guess is after the first and second cohorts, they will start to accept more students with one graduate degree potentially stretching out the length of the program. I hope you make it to the "hooding" and graduation ceremony this spring. It was well worth the trip!

    Talking about waivers and transfer credits, are there any doctoral programs that have accelerated options for a 2nd doctoral degree? Did someone mention Liberty?

    It appears everyone was doing the externship during their third semester although there is no word on how many passed or completed it. Many people said they submitted it though. They are currently accepting students with one graduate degree I know many students like that in the program already. Unfortunately, they did not have a "hooding" ceremony due to Covid the last cohort so we hope maybe they do this time.
    The VUL DHA program does not accept any transfer credits to fulfill the doctoral level required courses.

    As a second option for a doctoral degree, I found that Liberty University takes NA credits so you can transfer up to 50% towards a program if the courses fit.

    I called Liberty and they won't accept credits over 10 years old nor will they apply doctoral credits towards a master's degree program. Transfer credits towards a Liberty doctorate is useful info. Thanks.

    Correct 10-year limit on transfer credits and it has to apply to the program where the credits are applicable. In this case, a doctoral-level program for doctoral-level credits although depending on the master's level credits you have, some may be accepted towards a doctoral degree if they are upper level coded. It's really at the discretion of the school.

    Glad you didn't miss out!

    So, with HAU out, which RA MBA has the lowest TCO?

    Might be WGU if you can bang it out in two semesters. (6 months each)

    As Futuredegree mentioned above, CBE is still king, for those who can cram big time and finish lightening fast.

    Other than CBE, Amity University Noida's MBA is $4k.

    Stateside, the least expensive I'm aware of are ENMU and GSW. They're both $9k, give or take a couple of hundred, after all fees are tallied.

    At $10k, we have a few more familiar names like Amberton and Eastern.

    Just keep in mind Amity University Noida is in India although online.
    The rest of the finds are pretty good and there are other alternatives if you dig deep enough.
    If NA is not a problem University of the People Offers a "Free" MBA (minus the fee for each course)
