Planning Next Steps - UoP to TESU?

[Nukeme3]

Update on the following questions I had asked:

1) Out of curiosity, is there a Spring 2025-II start date?

2) My undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of the People, a Nationally Accredited university accredited by DEAC which is a recognized accrediting body by the U.S. Department of Education. Does having a Nationally Accredited degree impact or restrict admission eligibility into the MBA program at Hellenic American University?

3) Is there a minimum undergraduate GPA for admission into the program?

4) Is the promotional tuition offered as a 'checkout' price for out-of-pocket expenses, or is it offered as a rebate for the full tuition cost?

5) Is the tuition to be paid upfront, or via installments? Is there any information you could provide as to why the promotional tuition is so remarkably low?

6) Are there requirements or stipulations of performance for the promotional tuition?

7) With 7-week terms, is it still possible to complete the program within 2 years while taking one course per term? Are all courses offered each term, or are some offered on an alternating schedule that may need to be planned for in advance?

Received an email today with the following:

Thank you for getting back to us and for providing answers to our questions.
 
To answer yours as well, kindly be informed that there is a Spring 2025-II term, the classes of which start on March 31, 2025.
 
Secondly, as per the University’s admission requirements for admission to a graduate program, an applicant must submit “An undergraduate degree from a recognized university with a liberal arts or general education component, or an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution, with at least a B (3.0) grade point average” regardless of whether the accreditation is regional or national.
 
Based on our Catalog, the minimum undergraduate GPA required for one to join our master programs is 3.00. In any case, please note that applications are reviewed in a holistic way to make sure all factors are taken into consideration for our candidates’ eligibility determination.
 
Please note that the promotional tuition fee of $3,000 USD will apply to all Fall 2024 applicants. The University occasionally offers U.S. candidates the opportunity to study with us at an affordable price. However, we want to stress that this promotional tuition fee is not guaranteed for applicants submitting their dossiers after Fall 2024, therefore the fees must be reconfirmed after you have graduated from your current school. Scholarships and/ or promotional offers are awarded by the University based on decisions made by the Higher Administration, which carefully determines the areas and priorities to support. These scholarships aim to recognize and foster academic excellence and extracurricular achievements in line with the institution's mission and values.
 
As far as payment plans are concerned, here are the 2 options our current students are provided with:
 
Tuition Payment Plan A.
$1500.00 due at registration. $1500.00 due 9 months later.
Tuition Payment Plan B.
$750.00 due at registration. $750.00 payable every 3 months thereafter.


Please bear in mind that students pursuing graduate degrees must maintain a GPA of 3.0 for all courses attended, complete a thesis, dissertation or capstone project and, depending on the program catalog in effect upon their admission, need to earn between 36 and 60 credits.
 
As per the Catalog, students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 to remain in good standing and to make satisfactory progress in their degree program. Any student whose cumulative GPA falls below 3.0 for 2 regular semesters will be placed on academic probation. Once the GPA again reaches 3.0, the student will be reclassified as being in “good standing”. If a student remains on academic probation for 2 semesters, he or she is subject to dismissal from the University. Scholarship students’ GPAs are subject to annual evaluation and University policy changes.
 
On a final note, as you might have seen, our MBA program consists of 12 courses, one of which will be your capstone. As regards your courseload distribution, you will have to coordinate with your mentor as you will most likely need to take more than one courses to graduate in time.


I hope you have been provided with answers to your questions, but please feel free to get back to us should you need any clarification or further information.

Looks to be that HAU will accept UoP and other NA degrees. Great news for me!

I'll be submitting my application and hope to be accepted at the discounted tuition rate. Hopefully, I can confirm and lock in enrollment for Spring. But I might be able to work an early start in Fall-II if it means securing the discount.
