  Have Unaccredited DBA, Need 30 Accredited Credits Post-Masters
Posted by: Smarterthanthat - 11-30-2024, 09:53 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (8)

Looking for assistance, odd request.
I have a DBA from Summit Univ. of Louisiana, and before folks get cranked up, let me explain ho it came to be, I think many may learn from that.
I had gotten John Bears Guide to !00 Great non traditional Schools, which had this listed. They were trying (yes they really were, I even assisted) In obtaining accreditation and sought to get it as a "university without walls" before that was a thing. The school got wiped out in a hurricane, the two main founder passed away after that. I now have the DBA, which they ran through "ACE approved" reviews. I am in need with my job/USAJOBS of getting "30 credits past masters" I have gobs of certificates from Aglearn/Skillsoft/ ITM . I have comptia+,  tax law, and others, seperate from the DBA. Please advise a low cost ACCREDITED place to go. I have seen ( no rocks please..) CUFCE work for a couple of Govt. folks. Also , it is noted that
there are several accreditations which ARE govt/DOE/CHEA approved ( creative is fine.) Elmwood is not avil. in ARK, sadly.

  Cheapest Degree in Accounting or Business to qualify for CPA exam?
Posted by: nykorn - 11-30-2024, 06:53 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (11)

I started looking at how to qualify to take the CPA exam and become state certified. It looks like I'd have to get a Master's in something like Accounting so am wondering where would be cheapest. The CPA exam doesn't require accredited education. I'd be in WA state.

Requirements to take the CPA exam:

- A Bachelor's in any field (I have one)
- At least 24 semester hours (36 quarter hours) or the equivalent in accounting subjects of which at least 15 must be at the upper or graduate level. They define this as "courses which have a prerequisite".
- 24 semester hours (36 quarter hours) or the equivalent in business administration subjects at either the undergraduate or graduate level.

As I see it I currently have 3 options.
1) Attempt to use two ENEB degrees (1 MBA + 1 Financial Markets & Asset Management) and see if that along with my Bachelor's get accepted.
2) Get an entirely new degree which satisfies all the Business and Accounting credit requirements by itself.
3) Take some certificate courses or single courses in Business and Accounting without getting a full degree.

It's a long shot that #1 would get accepted, and if I were to do #3 it would be silly to not go all the way and just get another degree unless it were significantly cheaper, so I'm interested in knowing what's cheapest for #2 unless there's something like free courses that would qualify me for #3. I'm a US resident and have European citizenship so I can also get degrees from Europe as long as they are online and not timezone-based with attendance requirements.

So far for the cheapest full degree, I found Master of Business Administration with the Finance specialization from Sikkim Manipal University at a total cost of $1,375 USD (only $1,238 if you pay the entire tuition upfront). However I can't even tell if they accept people who are not residents of India. I don't know about their accreditation or if it would be accepted by the CPA. And it's not self-paced, so it would take a full 2 years to finish. https://www.onlinemanipal.com/us-ca/onli...inance-smu

  New Forum for "PUG and other Global Universities"
Posted by: Ares - 11-30-2024, 12:15 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (14)

I see enough talk about Global Campuses here that it would be nice to have a forum specifically for schools like PUG. There are multiple plans on the Wiki already.

Purdue's name is really driving the school's popularity which in 2022 was already at over 45,000 enrolled. I have even recommended it to some people who wanted a well known name but still wanted to save money transferring credits.

Call the forum; "PUG and other Global Universities" ...or something similar.

  France Business School - Online DBA
Posted by: doyouhowdo1 - 11-29-2024, 11:23 AM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - No Replies

Hello Everyone,

I almost finish my MBA now. Yay.

I have already posted a few thread about online DBA before. This time, I came across two university that is offer by a Chinese agent at Little Red Book app. The agent told me that both offer DBA and Brest Business School is better. But I couldn't find much information about these two business school.

Brest Business School
https://international.brest-bs.com/

ESC Amiens
https://www.esc-amiens.com/

Although both school seem to be legit. But when I look at Brest Business School Wiki's page,  it stated that it is a "A school authorised to deliver master's degrees". Then if I take the DBA at Brest Business School, I guess it won't be fully regonize. Funny thing tho, on the English and French website, they didn't show there is doctorate degree. While in the Chinese version, it says they offer the doctorate degree.

On the other hand, ESC Amiens offical website show they offer doctorate degree. But I'm just not sure how regonize is this.

Exclamation Rowan University in talks to acquire TESU
Posted by: Ares - 11-29-2024, 07:28 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (4)

University Senate meeting raises concerns about Rowan Global programs

Quote:The topic of partnering with other universities was brought up, which was one of the items on the agenda. Thomas Edison State University is located in Trenton, NJ, and there have been conversations with the administration about potentially acquiring them. 

Houshmand did not confirm nor deny that this was in the works.

I think this is a bad idea, any merger with a larger NJ University would surely eliminate things like the 114 credit transfer option and other things that makes TESU attractive for degree hacking.

  Can Sophia's Calculus be used for MAT 140 Mathematics for Business?
Posted by: AccountingForThis - 11-28-2024, 03:25 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (8)

Hello everyone!

I recently noticed that UMPI's webpage for the BABA Project Management & Information Systems says that MAT 131 Calculus can be taken in place of MAT 140 Mathematics for Business. According to UMPI's official transfer equivalency database, Sophia's Calculus course should transfer in as MAT 131 Calculus. However, the degree plans that I have seen for this major include Study.com's Business 110: Business Math instead. Has anyone been able to successfully use Sophia's Calculus course to meet the MAT 140 Mathematics for Business requirement for the BABA Project Management & Information Systems?

Thank you!

I'm starting a Ph.D. in Information Technology with an emphasis in Artificial Intelligence at The University of the Cumberlands this January.  Is anyone else currently in this program?  It seems somewhat affordable (compared to other programs) and regionally accredited.
