South College - Masters Degrees - Quarter System
#1
Masters in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Info Tech & Info Tech Management
So, anyone know of other degrees that can be hacked to allow for multiple offerings due to overlapping courses? 
Basically, this degree plan is for someone who has energy, money, and time on their hands to complete the courses.
Spreadsheet Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...edit#gid=0

In brief: A dual Masters degree completed in 5 "quarters" for ~$19,875. 
5 quarters can be done in over 1 year as each quarter is just 10-11 weeks.
Each Masters degree has 9 courses, my plan has 19 courses in total.
Thus 2 Masters can be done in 5 quarters by taking 4 courses per quarter!

Is there a catch? I don't know, I haven't asked the school any questions yet.
Get this, by hacking it with 19 courses, you technically get FOUR Masters!
The reason is because of the overlapping courses between the 4 degrees...
Here's the degree plan showing the four degree requirements and my plan.

Several Masters programs listed in my spreadsheet and links to them.
MS Computer Science
MS Cybersecurity
MS Data Science 
MS Information Technology 
MS Information Technology Management
MS Software Engineering

Credit Load - 2021-2022 Quarterly Tuition
10-20 Credit Hours - $3975
6-9 Credit Hours - $3200
1-5 Credit Hours - $2100
Each Credit Above 20 - $310 per credit
Each Masters course is worth 5 credit, so that's 95 quarter credits or roughly $29,450
You're taking the full course load of 20 credits/quarter, thus you get a third discount!

Actually, the program here from Emporia State is better, it's got AACSB and costs a grand or so cheaper... https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ual-Degree

I'm going to guess that the school is going to give you a very hard time about taking 20 quarter-credits in a single 10-11 week term.  Generally speaking, a semester-based school considers you a FT grad student when you take 6cr per 16-week semester, which equates to 9cr per a 12-week quarter-based school - so this is more than double that amount.
