Walsh College\GreatLearning DBA in AIML; 12500$

[PauFraTat]

I was accepted while being in the US and I'll be starting in January. I replied to this thread previously stating that I had some doubts due to bad reviews online, but everything the original poster said has been correct. I also contacted Walsh myself and the program is legitimate. The pre-requisite courses they have you do have been good as well and they seem to be focused on people new to the field. My advisor has been very helpful with any questions I had. I do think they may have had questionable marketing practices in the past which led to some of the negativity online, but it seems to have improved. Regardless, that's irrelevant to the actual course work. I believe the deadline they have listed on their page is constantly being updated, so there is no need to worry about being late with your application. I'm not sure if that may change in the future. Based off of what I've done so far, no real complaints. I'm very thankful for user artem for sharing their referral link, it saved me some money on the program.

Thanks for this info! If you don't mind me asking, are you a U.S. citizen? I only ask because both where I lived and if I were a citizen were questions asked. I am still waiting to hear back from the Walsh PoC I emailed at the direction of the Great Learning advisor.

I'm not worried about Walsh College at all. A member of my doctoral cohort is currently enrolled in their Ph.D. in Technology program, with a focus on AI. From what he tells me, the curriculum so far is more intense than the curriculum I have in my D.Eng. in AI & ML program at George Washington University, but not as in-depth as the curriculum I had with my MSAI program at the University of Texas at Austin. I was exploring the program primarily due to the low tuition rate through Great Learning.

Yes, I'm a U.S. citizen. I was only asked if I was living in the USA.

Thanks for confirming! I will follow up with the Walsh advisor next week with another email.

Another question... Was the program still $12,500 for you or did they add on additonal fees?

You're welcome! There are no additional fees, just the flat $12,500.

Update... I was informed today by Walsh College that I am not eligible for the $12,500 partnership program with Great Learning. While not stated explicitly, the questions asked by Walsh College were specifically regarding my citizenship (U.S. citizen) and where I earned my degrees (United States). Perhaps a U.S. citizen, living in the U.S., who earned a Master's degree from a non-U.S. school may be eligible? I don't know...

Sorry to hear that, it seems like they may have certain requirements that aren't listed. At least this is good information for others to know about.

For those who got into the program, did they indicate what the requirements are/were for acceptance? (In addition to what is advertised on their webpage)...
