First Term Free at Walden!

[SweetSecret]

I literally just got off the phone with WGU, they won't accept transfer credits, and their rate in January is raising to $3,800 plus $145 book and resource fee. BJCheung77, you are right that Walden actually would be cheaper even if I had to string it out to 9 months. WGU also told me it takes at least two months for their Capstone. Walden wasn't sure how long their capstone takes, but there definitely is writing involved in the degree. On the plus side, unlike WGU, Walden's student work is actually graded by the professors.

"Classes" are graded too. I can't recall but it seems like WGU is pass/fail.

Justin is going to check to see if I would need to re-take the capstone if I do the competency based MBA in Healthcare and then complete the Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation track. If not, it would only be 3 more classes, which would end up being cheaper than a graduate certificate in social enterprise!

Personally, I don't mind it that Walden is for-profit... but probably only because they are a registered B-Corp, which I am obviously a fan of.

Also, for the competency based MBA, Justin said people have until December 7th to enroll!
