Nexford University MBA |

I recently started my MBA journey at Nexford University, specializing in AI, and wanted to share my thoughts and see if anyone else has experience with their programs.
So far, I've been impressed with the well-structured and organized curriculum. It's a competency-based model, which I appreciate. The program includes the following courses:
- Global Business
- Leadership and Organizational Development
- Marketing Strategy
- Technology & Operations Management
- Accounting and Financial Reporting
- Organizational Strategy
- Introduction to Intrapreneurship and Innovation
- Financial Decision Making
One of the standout features for me has been the world-class customer service. The pay-as-you-go tuition model is also a huge plus. It’s designed to be flexible, allowing you to pay less if you finish faster, and a tuition cap on all degree programs means you don't have to worry about rising costs if life gets in the way. The affordable monthly payments, absence of hidden fees, and the ability to pause or cancel at any time provide a lot of control over your budget.
Speaking of affordability, I discovered a great scholarship for North American students who have completed Sophia Learning courses. It reduces the monthly MBA tuition of $450 by 25%, bringing it down to $337.50 per month. This is a significant saving for anyone coming from the Sophia platform.
I was also able to transfer my ENEB MBA and was given the maximum 50% transfer allowance. They also accepted my Master in Supply Chain, which was evaluated by Scholaro. This was a game-changer, as it will allow me to pivot my specialization. Nexford’s transfer policy seems quite flexible, accepting credits from past academic and professional achievements to help save time and money.
Regarding the pace, my initial understanding was that I would be limited to one course per month. However, after looking into it, it seems that while new learners start with one course in their first month, they can then take up to two courses per month thereafter. This is great news, as it means I might be able to finish my remaining six courses in as little as three months.
Nexford is nationally accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and CHEA. While it's not regionally accredited, I've found the quality of the courses to be on par with other programs I've experienced.
It seems like Nexford has a strong focus on learners from Africa at the moment, but their marketing suggests a push to attract more students from the US.

| Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force (CMSAF) Missed Attention to Detail |

So I'm reading news stories, with photos, about the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force (CMSAF). So the Air Force senior enlisted person is getting blasted for addressing Airman while his neck tie was too short. Silly rule, but it is a rule and, thd CMSAF is obligated to be the perfect exemplar of uniform standards.
I assume he has his own decent size staff of senior enlisted people. I think his staff failed him. They should not have let him appear in public without a perfect uniform. This may appear to be insignificant. I think this little case study deserves discussion.
Does it even matter that his tie did not cover his Belt buckle?
What difference does a leader's appearance make?
Did his staff fail him(I think they did), or is he the only one responsible for his uniform?

Your Location: United States (I’m the sponsor. My friends daughter whom I’m the godparent of a girl who lives in the Philippines in the province)
Student’s Location: Province in the Philippines
Student’s Age: 22
What kind of degree do you want? Any — She doesn’t yet know what specific field to pursue, but she needs a bachelor’s degree to qualify for decent jobs in the Philippines. We are open to suggestions that are fast, practical, and employable.
Current Regionally Accredited Credits:
She completed 2 years of a tourism degree at a local college in the Philippines (not regionally accredited, but possibly transferable depending on the school). We’re hoping she can transfer those credits into a full online program.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
None yet, but open to exploring Sophia.org or Study.com if needed.
Any certifications or military experience?
No certifications yet.
Extra Context:
I’m helping fund her education, so we’re looking for something under $1,000 USD total. Ideally it would be fully online, self-paced or competency-based, and open to international students, since she will likely remain in the Philippines. Accreditation doesn’t need to be regional as long as the degree can be used locally for employment or possibly evaluated later on.
Questions:
- What are the most affordable options (under $1,000 total) for finishing a bachelor’s degree online for someone in the Philippines?
- No need to transfer but if there is anything that can be 1k or less that is self pads/CBE for a good bachelors any degree so can find a good job to help her family
- Is ENEB (with IEE or WES evaluation) a practical path if she needs a degree just to meet job requirements, not for grad school?
- Are there self-paced or competency-based programs that are fast, practical, and budget-friendly, even if non-traditional?
Thank you all for any advice or recommendations!
