Hmm, interesting enough, there has been at least one evaluation from Validential and it comes in favorably for them. I was reading this on the sister board yesterday. I really like their format, it's all open book, non proctored timed exams for each course. Even though it's open book, it's not an 'easy' pass because the questions are not made to be simple.
I think this might get more traction if they had other offerings besides a Business Studies and Social Sciences option. Hopefully my guess is correct and either ECE or IEE would evaluate this favorably as well like they did with ENEB offerings. Anyone want to try them out and report back your findings?

When I looked at their programs, I was thinking the same thing Business and Social Sciences are good and well, but delving into other fields would be fantastic.
While I know certain subjects already exist as standalone courses within their existing offerings, just imagine if they looked at full degree programs in education, history, psychology, etc.

If there could be a discussion here about which program they should next create, and a general consensus be reached as to which one, we could then have many of us contact SOBAT individually with a request for the program to be added. SOBAT might be open to the suggestion if they see many interested in a certain area of study.

That's an idea, I don't recall anyone asking about this or mentioning that... maybe they'll create an option for cohorts so students can network or something...

A Doctorate would be interesting. I'd be interested in seeing something in Psychology, Mental Health, or Addiction. But most likely, they would go with a Doctorate in Social Science or a Doctorate in Business since those seem to be their focus.

I'm not yet ready for a doctorate in those fields but would definitely be interested in something related to psychology and mental health. Countless other fields too, of course! But if others are already keen on psych, count me in.

Hmm, If I was doing ENEB and SOBAT, I would do both for the learning and knowledge gaps... However, for those who want to see if they can transfer to save energy, time, then you can try and have it sent to ENEB for evaluation. I think they'll have a favorable review of these and may allow a max of up to 50% transferred in...
