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

[xianbd]

Does anyone have an idea of when the final course will be out for this? I would love to do this program, but I don't want to invest the time for four courses if the fifth won't be coming out soon..

Thanks guys.

It has definitly been a very slow roll out.  I don’t think anyone here has any inside scoop on when they will launch the last course.  I can tell you that the way they have it set up, once you log in, you have access to all avalable courses.  You don’t have to sign up for them individually.  And they don’t have a set time table.  I’ve been chipping away slowly since it launched.  Since I am already in a degree program, it hasn’t been a priority for me.  But it has helped me in the degree courses I have been taking.  For instance, I worked on the one with marketing ahead of my marketing class.  And now I can work on the one with accounting ahead of my finance class.  Of course, I probably won’t be able to utilize the credits, but I can get I fun little badge for my LinkedIn account.  

**When I logged in to the accounting class, it did say that they expect the final course to be launched by Fall 2023.  Since that has already passed, let’s hope any day now.

I am also waiting for the last course... it has been 6 months since the fourth came out and no one knows anything about the actual schedule. weird.

It's finally here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-available

Does this mean that certificates will begin to be earned/conferred/issued soon?

At the earliest, you should be looking at late summer or early fall 2024, just finish everything and wait for the option to get a transcript...

So I've finished all 5 projects in the Advanced Program, what now? It says I can either apply the academic credit toward Thunderbird’s online Master of Leadership and Management program, or purchase a transcript and and retain the academic credits for transfer and further study. I'd like to do the latter, but nowhere does it say how to do this? 

Has anyone figured it out yet? I've dropped them an email so hopefully they'll respond soon.

That’s great.  You might be the first one.  Can you tell us a little bit about what the projects are like?

They aren't terribly complex.

- Data Analytics and Digital Transformation - An analysis of network logs to investigate slowdown in performance, with recommendations and an implementation plan to fix things.
- Global Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Business - A business plan for a sustainable business venture.
- Global Marketing in a Digital Age - This one has been out for a while so it you've done the course you might have already done this. Some calculations on pricing and savings, then some questions on various market strategies.
- Global Accounting - This one has also been out for a while. Ratio analysis (you have to show your workings in an Excel spreadsheet), observations and recommendations. 
- Global Leadership and Personal Development - Similarly, out for a while. Learning Journal and Personal Leadership Development Plan - This one was long and cumbersome. The learning journal is a pages-long document with questions on what you learned in every single module of the course. It takes forever to complete. The PLDP is not so bad. Its your current leadership style vs your desired leadership style and how you plan to get there.

All the projects are online so you can login and have a look in more detail.

Thank you.  I can’t look at them yet because I haven’t gotten that far.  It only unlocks after you finish all the modules before it.

If I recall correctly there is one course that has everything unlocked from the start. Can't remember which one though.

Same but can’t figure it out either, I was debating on just applying to Thunderbird but that directs me to ASU to apply. I’m debating on applying and just going from there. I’m guessing we could do the logical thing and just call the school to figure it out lol
