I've scouted out the university before. I remember it being NA and I remember being pretty impressed about how affordable their degrees were. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe one of our mods went there -- I believe ShotoJuku went??

Looking for more of a business degree. I have a lot of experience in construction and hospitality. I feel like a DBA would be a good in between for both fields. I am looking into more of a DBA or Ed.D.
That list is Interesting, I did not know ACE has a DBA, I may have to look into that! Looks pretty affordable

and for a good price too! the DBA at Thomas Edison is easily over $1k per credit. A little over $3k per course. You'd have a great deal there!

I think it's the cheapest RA DBA unless you do a CBE degree with South College or a UK level 8 Diploma and transfer to a US DBA program like Westcliff DBA through Capital College. Another cheap option, if you have military experience (active or retired), would be Liberty University.

I looked into that school before and what I didn’t like about that California coast was that it didn’t seem like they really taught anything. You were just responsible for reading books and writing papers.

I kind of like that though, as long as it gives me foundations for what I need. However, ACE's DBA seems a lot more worth it since it costs similar to what Cal coast is running thiers for and ACE Is regionally accredited.
