ASU to Launch a Free Global Initiative and enroll 100 million students

[Pats20]

Does anyone know if the advanced courses AACSB accredited?

I know ASU and Thunderbird are, but I wonder if these courses are?

I emailed a school inquiring if these would transfer In for mba and that is what they replied with. “ are they AACSB”

Thanks for the info. I certainly would consider a Christian university, I’m actually seriously considering Eastern University.


Not sure how / if these courses would transfer in.

From my understanding, these courses are not transcriptable until you complete the entire certificate program which at this time you cannot do as all of the courses have not yet been released. I was interested in the program but not interested in waiting. I completed my entire MBA before this program was completely released, took a 6 month break, and am now in my second master's and it still isn't fully released. They're really slow with this program. Initially, they stated a course would be released every 2 months and that has not been the case unfortunately.

Oh okay. Thanks I will probably move on then. I was just thinking 9 free grad credits toward mba !

@Pats20, AACSB (and ACBSP as well) only accredit business programs, not the entire school of business unless there is an application in place for each and every program. For this cert, I doubt it has AACSB, for me, it really won't matter, I am just using it for the extra experience/knowledge and possible graduate credits!

I do not see where they have anything listed as far as accreditation.  I doubt the certificate alone has any accreditation, but I really don’t know.  I haven’t seen any mention of it.

It is definitely a slow roll out, especially if you are only looking at one language.  They have been adding the same courses translated into several other languages.  I believe they plan to do 40 languages.  I was talking with someone who works with this program because I was having a weird technical issue.  I could have sworn he said that they plan to have all courses done by June, however, he might have been talking about the “next” course - not “all” of them.

I wanted to get something finished, so I just started off with the Bootcamp.  
Working through this has definitely helped me feel more prepared for my MBA classes at times.  Regardless of whether I decide to try to get credit for them, I plan to continue to chip away at it in between my MBA classes.

How many of these credits would transfer to ACE toward their MBA ? If 15 then this could be a $6000 MBA !
The cheapest option I know of other than HAU.

It looks like the maximum possible to transfer into ACE is 9 credits.

Just read all 18 pages. I'm interested in their Customer Experience & Digital Marketing (coming soon) course. Should I sign up even though that one isn't available yet?

It wouldn’t hurt to sign up now.  They recently updated the registration process.  Now, you just sign up for the program.  It looks like all of the courses will be in your Canvas profile as they are released and you can choose to work on whatever you like.   The Bootcamp does have some modules on the topic if you are just looking at general learning.

I noticed when I logged in yesterday, the new version of the Bootcamp was there.  It threw me off for a moment because I finished the Bootcamp.  Then I realized that I had hidden the Bootcamp when I finished it.  So they are technically both there.

Just keep in mind, you do have to complete the entire program to be eligible for credit.  If you just want to learn and get a digital badge, then you can pick and choose.

Personally, I really like the program.  It doesn’t matter to me if I get credits from it.  I like that they have lots of videos and it’s not just reading and writing.   It’s been a great supplement to my MBA program.  I have been able to find related topics to study when I am in between classes.  If I manage to get credits from it, that would just be icing on the cake. 

Good luck in whatever you choose to study!

So if I understand this correctly, all 5 courses, including ones not yet available, need to be completed by this fall?

Why by Fall?
