There is Apollos here in the U.S. at about $17K, but as the whole NA/RA thing is still winding down (and will for a while), there may be hassles from Canada over it being classified as NA.

Do we know if they get a positive evaluation from any other canadian evaluating agencies? Like IQAS? 

Then again there a risk of getting a negative assessment after the completion of the program cuz a lot could change in 2 years.

Haven't heard on IQAS.

You make an excellent point about the risk of changes over time. It wasn't long ago that UCN, Azteca and SMC were all being evaluated. Now, all blocked by WES.

I know I'm being kind of ignorant with this but I'm not sure what you mean when you say "similar to the one offered by the UCN."  What is it about this degree that makes it different than other DBA's?

15K for UCN's DBA? I didn't know it was that expensive. Yeah, I'd skip that. Azteca's is as low as $5300. They weren't very professional in the dealings I had with them... oh, who am I kidding, they were extremely unprofessional, but on price that's a way better deal.
