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:

Thanks for the reponse and i feel like I am hijacking the original discussion. The darn Middlesex county college tell me to come in for any AAS degree and Rowan tells me I can take any degree but you are right it prohibits me for $$$ perspective. WHat I was thinking that if you have UprPace UMPI BLS and now you want to BBA  yourpace from UMPI , do yu have to still take the 30 credits? 
I wish I can find a job that pays for degree. My company only approve $2400 per year and has to be job related.
Lucky You!

There is only a one time residency requirement at UMPI. After that, it's just about completing whatever courses are needed. For example, the first time you do a bachelors at UMPI, you can transfer in 90 credits, but you must do 30 credits with them. For the second, third, fourth, and so on, there is no minimum requirement. You could transfer in all the credits needed and complete the degree that way. You would just have to pay for that semester to be eligible to graduate. I did Rowan since it's nearby and because that is where I started when I graduated high school. I was a community college student for almost 7 years before graduating.

This is totally incorrect regarding UMPI. Once you graduate with one Bachelors degree, if you want to enroll again for a Second Bachelors degree, you have to complete another 30 semester hours in residence at UMPI. You cannot transfer in all of the degree requirements using alternative credit and just collect a second or third degree without meeting both the university redicence requirements AND the individual degree and/or minor requirements.

Thanks Turbo and Mint. 
Since i already completed BLS, and middle of doing the MAOL , and I will reach out to them to figureout. My goal is to get  a computer science undergrad and later I can apply for master in Cybersecurity either GeirogaTech or NYU where both have online options with limited fee. 
Thanks

I usually don't argue, but that would be incorrect. I do understand what you are saying though and I am glad to explain further. I completed the BLS - Management during the summer time last year, the BA in History/Poli Sci during the fall after that, and I did another BA in Business Admin just recently. I only had to do 3 classes for the BA in Business Admin this year. So you can transfer them all in and there is only a one time residency requirement for 30 credits: 

This came from Jessica herself last year when speaking to her: "You only need to meet residency once and then you need to meet the requirements of the degree you are pursuing..." 

From the catalog: "All four-year degree candidates must complete at least 30 credit hours of study through UMPI in order to receive a baccalaureate degree."

From the catalog: "(1) The first degree must have been awarded; (2) The student must apply through Admissions for subsequent degrees; (3) A minimum number of credits must be earned beyond the total hours earned for the previous degree: 15 for each additional Associate, 30 for each additional Baccalaureate."

All it is saying is that you just have to (1) complete 30 credits at UMPI 1 time (2) and provide 30 credits either from UMPI or elsewhere towards the degree you want to do. I've done courses from Sophia, Straighterline, Study.com, and many universities/colleges to complete these degree requirements.

This is not entirely true. If you graduate from UMPI with any bachelor's degree, then you need to complete an additional 30 credits after your degree was conferred for a second, third, etc. bachelor's degree. I completed 2 bachelor's degrees from UMPI and went through this. You cannot transfer in 120 credits for any degree at UMPI.

Correct, but you are allowed to transfer in those 30 credits after meeting the residency requirement. I was able to complete 3 bachelor's at UMPI by doing this and only having to do 2 or 3 courses for a second and third bachelor's.

[bjcheung77]

Wait a moment, you only took an extra couple of classes for your second and another two/three classes for your third bachelors at UMPI? So, do they only require 30 residency credits for the second and third bachelors in total? and not 30 new credits for for each one? Thus, if you meet all the requirements for the degree after transfer, you just have to complete the remaining credits not already applied to the degree? Wow, seems better than TESU requiring 24 new credits!
