I was tentatively accepted in 2024 but didn't pursue the program, and decided to apply again this year (2026) - does anyone know how much if any institutional funding they provide, particularly since their program requires a one-week annual residency in the NYC commuting area?
Is anyone here familiar with this program or its inner workings?

| 300-500 Euros a year doctorate - question |

A friend of mine is studying for a Master's degree in Spain and jumped for joy when she learned that her university offers a doctorate program in her field (or one closely related) for about 300-500 Euros annually.
How common is this? I asked on reddit and was told if you have an EU citizenship (I do, as a second/acquired citizenship) it is quite feasible, but I am struggling to find any PhDs in my desired field/s (the general ballpark of International Relations/Affairs, Global Studies, Geopolitics, Security Studies/Defense Studies/Homeland and Civil Security) where this is an option.
Does anyone know how I ought to tailor my search? I looked up programs at my acquaintance's university and they do not seem to have anything in the ballpark of what I'm looking for other than a PhD in something like "Criminology and Associated Applied Social and Administrative Sciences", which sounds vague, broad, and not quite what I'm looking for.

Hi
I’ve only recently started looking into ways to complete a degree as cheaply and quickly as possible, but I found the post about ECTS credits from the University of Turku, along with some other discussions about similar Finnish universities offering free or online ECTS courses.
I know the ECTS are only worth about 0.5-0.75 credits, but how do I know if those credits are counted towards the specific degree I apply for at UMPI or UMass Global to reduce the amount of credits I have to take? I’m not from America, but I assume say, the Finnish as a Foreign Language credit wouldn't help if I wanted a degree in business from UMPI?
Sorry if this whole post has been a stupid question, but I don’t quite understand the US university system (doesn’t bode well for my degree if I can’t figure this out, I guess, does it?)
Thanks for any help.

I was just informed today by the registrars office that they will accept 3 certs for UL electives that are offered via Coursera:
Google Project Management = 3 UL Credits as a Free Elective
Google UX Design = 3 UL Credits as a Free Elective
Meta Social Media Marketing = 3 UL Credits as a Free Elective
If you were to do Health 310 via Study.com, that would then put you at a total of 12 UL Credits.

Since we have a list for MBA and related degrees, I thought we should have one for non-Business related (not the MAOL, MSML, MBA, MBS, etc). Something either in the US/UK or foreign equivalent would also work, as there are many international programs available affordably. I'll be searching this and the sister board to compile a list...

| PhD after WGU MS in Data Analytics? |

I dropped out of WGU in May when I ran into some problematic classes. Since then, I took those classes at 3rd party schools and picked up an Associate's degree. Now I am returning to WGU to finish my BS in Data Analytics and get the MS in DA. I should get the BS and MS within a year. After that, I assume I will be done with college, since I will be almost 60 and still plan to work. I was curious if there was a PhD in Data Analytics that was doable within 1 year. One more year of school might be ok if I could get a PhD. Most PhD programs seem to take a minimum of 2 years, if not longer.
