Doctorate with East Bridge University

[bjcheung77]

I would do things differently, a level 8 UK diploma and ladder to a Doctorate from a recognized UK university is much better, or you can ladder to a completion program. Going for East Bridge is like going for ENEB at the Masters level, you'll have to keep getting foreign credit evaluations to make sure it's similar or recognized as equivalent to RA doctorate. Of course it'll be best to do a cheap, easy, fast DBA with ROI/Value, something like the Spanish ones if you know the language. It can also be had for about 3K if you review the board by doing a search...

Hi everyone, interested in their doctorate program though they claim to be accredited - still questionable you know. Should I go ahead with this online university? It’s just a DBA that I’m going after, do not intend for any sort of license to be used to practice whatsoever. Thank you all!

Personally, I would skip it. If you find value in it, then go for it. From what I see, it doesn't hold the same academic value as other universities.

Unrelated question. 
How can you get multiple degrees from the same college or university. Also WP MEd is 21k and not cheap? Any suggestion?

Kakasahib,

1. How can you get multiple degrees from the same college or university.

There is nothing that I am aware of saying that you can't continue your education at a college/university besides money prohibiting you. Just reach out and enroll in a program that you want to do at a school that you are at/interested in. I have yet to see a college/university that says you can't do more degrees with us as that would mean that they lose out on making more money. I've completed about 6 associates, 3 bachelors, 4 masters (if you wanna consider ENEB as one - YMMV), and I'm currently doing a doctorate. Others care only about ROI on degrees for getting a job or other reasons, but I enjoy doing the work and learning from each of them. Plus, if my job falls through, I have a degree in other fields to broaden my job options. I really enjoy doing associates and masters level work as they feel very refreshing due to different dispositions.

2. Also WP MEd is 21k and not cheap? Any suggestion?

William Paterson University offers different M.Ed programs - it isn't just 21K flat. Some of them are 15K at WPUNJ for the non-licensure ones. My work has tuition waivers for any in-state public school (including TESU). I can do anything from an associates to a doctorate. Only thing stopping me from using the waiver at any school is that once you maximized Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), you can't use it at that particular degree level at that school. So I can keep going to as many as I like. There are 29 public colleges/universities in NJ that I can use them at, and I plan on that too. So school is free for me in NJ (due to work), but I'm willing to pay a little bit of money out of pocket to go to others outside of the state, like UMPI since the cost is minimal. But mainly, I do in-state schools

As for an M.Ed program, it's been mentioned here in the forum a couple of times, but ACE offers several M.Ed programs at a good price point:
