Walden Tempo MS General Psych - how is it?

[warriortaupou]

I am based in India. One of the Walden alumni here on this forum was kind enough to provide a referral link that would help me avail a 15% discount. But on my call with Walden, I discovered even that discount is not offered for the Tempo track. Like natshar says, this is a very good price for an RA masters. Also, Walden is quite flexible with payments. During a 3-month term, you are allowed to pay in as many installments as is comfortable for you. Just that you need to settle it completely before the term ends. You could also consider pausing between two terms, and resuming later if that helps you manage your finances more effectively. You are not automatically billed for the next term.
With regards to how many terms it will take to complete the program, the first module of the MS-Psychology program actually gives a detailed breakdown of time demands. So, 1 credit requires 28 hours of engagement. Based on that you could calculate and create a time management schedule. I am currently averaging 25 hours per credit.

Ahhh India! Yes, someone mentioned this earlier in the thread. It is one of my favorite places. 

I haven't seen the program, so I don't want to be surprised after signing up. At this point, I think I will decline the offer of admission. A good price, but not doable for me as the provider of my family, especially since I don't necessarily know how many terms can be most reasonably done for completion. I need to get my daughter through school. For me, an incomplete Masters is money down the drain, which I cannot afford to expend. I was looking at this for a job overseas when we move in a few years; but, I will just roll with the punches when the time comes for that situation. If Walden U follows through with the cost that others mentioned previously, then I'm going for it. But, it is not looking like it will go that route. I am grateful that I at least have a Bachelors, unfortunately paid most of it out of my pocket before I discovered this site. Wasted my GIBill time due to family, working, and surviving. I could really use it today, missed Post 9-11 GIBill by a few months. 

Thanks for responding and all the best. Sounds like you are doing fabulous! Cheers.
