I've wondered if anyone on here took the plunge with South College. Seems like for doctorates for-profit and NA schools are more acceptable that master's and bachelor's degrees.

South College is RA


Certificate for the Study of Capitalism at University of Arkansas finished July 2022

MBA with Hellenic American University started March 29th, 2021 , finished May 20th 2022, Graduated in June 2022

BSBA at Thomas Edison State University started May 21st 2020 with Sophia and SDC, finished Jan 24th, 2021, Graduated on 12 March of 2021

Total time to complete both degrees 2 years exactly, total cost just a small bit over $10,000

OK. South College is for-profit according to Wiki. I don't see anywhere on their website where they say they're non-profit.

Like I said for-profit and NA schools seem more acceptable when it comes to doctorates. There are many more options out there if one goes with for-profit or NA.

I start the DBA with them this fall in Oct. Almost same except 2 courses and of course more a business focus. It will be the first DBA cohort.

From what I understand, it looks like a student may complete the EdD in a year, a half dozen or more or so on track to complete in a year and a half. Keep in mind the first EdD cohort started last fall, so it is not yet a year .

 I think it is worth mentioning here @Prettyflyforachiguy (very clever name btw) that South College does *not* have a DBA program, but, South University does have a DBA program. South College *does* have an Educational Doctorate EDD with a concentration in Org Leadership or Adult Education and Development which might also be a fit for me as I am a training and instructional design consultant in the Software industry. Do you mean South College or South University?

South College is launching a brand new online CBE DBA program in October. Everyone else on this thread was correct in discussing South College and not South University.
