Woolf University - Educational Partnership & Institutions

@Erasec63:

Please don't ruin your heretofore solid credentials with the class of unaccredited school that will get unflattering things said about you behind your back and conceivably to your face.

Any legitimate program you're looking at, try to get them to extend you advanced standing or transfer credit for holding an EdS (and there's a small chance you could additionally get something for holding a second master's).

Look at the EdD from South College. Competency-based at $6000 per 6-month term.

In addition to GCAS Woolf, I could also consider:

Regarding Woolf, I like how they look similar to EGS (https://egs.edu/) in focus, but are much cheaper. I think I have seen some of the same professors at both.

@Erasec63, a BALS-Psych is a Bachelors of Liberal Studies, Psych concentration (minor), you really want to go for the cheap, easy, fast doctoral degree, as long as it's accredited. Even a state recognized, unaccredited degree is a notch above the degree/diploma mills, but you still want to do that NA/RA one as a preference for later on... When the time comes for credential reviews, having an accredited/recognized degree will be far better than a lesser known state recognized/unaccredited one.

Thank you very much for the suggestions.

Thank you, I will take a look!

Woolf had their accreditation with MFHEA extended only to 03/2025 (formerly 09/2024) so it could be they are facing some accreditation/license renewal issues.

[MrPanda]

Yes, they only got 6 months, and many other licenses are for 5 years.

[bjcheung77]

Most institutions may need extra time to get everything in order, I would be on the lookout for this just in case something new comes up, it's still a good indication that they'll come through with renewal versus just an extension...
