Has anyone looked into this program? $10,000 for the 60 credit DBA.
https://acacia.edu/doctor-of-business-administration/
Their MBA is only $5,000
Have we created a forum with the cheapest nationally and regionally accredited doctorates?

Please do a search, we don't have a post/thread on the cheapest, but there have been comparisons made before and a sticky thread...

Thank you. I looked around and no one had mentioned Acacia's DBA and MBA it seems it was launched last month.

Wow, that is a good price. I don't think there's another accredited one that beats the cost. I wonder if anybody on this board has started either the Ed.D or DBA from Acacia. It would be great to hear their experience with the program.

For the doctoral studies, this is one of the cheaper options that are NA/DEAC... For MBA, there are other options that are better, cheaper, and probably faster to complete as well such as the MBA from HAU at $3K, WGU MBA at roughly $5K, or Walden MBA at $6K and it really depends on what the student is looking at in a program, sometimes it's the cheap, easy, fast option and other times it's the class content or something else...

Having attended their open day webinar, I can assure you it's very cheap indeed.

For the DBA, yes. The EdD is still 10K total.
BS, Information Systems concentration, Charter Oak State College
MA in Educational Technology Leadership, George Washington University
EdD in Professional Studies, Thomas Edison State University, in progress

Yes, It really depends on the student needs and wants, if RA or NA is the deciding factor (for some, or not)...
For me, I would do UK Level 8 Diploma and ladder to a DBA for about the same price if it's at $12K instead.
