Don't need cheap, don't need fast - I need what fits how I learn

Just wondering, did you pay for your residency waiver yet?  Wow, 10K for tuition assistance is the most I have seen so far. Most are 5K or so.  Does that mean if it takes you 2 years, work will pay $20K for you?  See the info below, There are numerous school options for you...

1. Since you mentioned Competency Based Degrees, Capella and Walden have various Psychology Masters.
2. FutureLearn and Coventry University in the UK teamed up for a Masters in Business & Organizational Psych.
3. Life University has a Masters in Positive Psychology, only one of 3 in the entire US, it’s almost 100% online.
4. Amberton University has a MA Professional Development with several concentrations, one in Psychology.
5. TESU has a MALS with an I/O Psychology concentration or Grad Certificate with the same name.

If you haven’t paid the graduation or residency waiver fees, and you don’t mind waiting another year to graduate, you might want to try for the Bach to Masters option at TESU and see if you can get the courses from the I/O Grad Cert taken in place of the recommended courses on TESU website.  

If you want to graduate your BALS ASAP and don’t mind paying the waiver fee, you can do so.  Just add a BA Psychology program to your list and shoot off an email to advising asking if you can take the I/O Grad Cert courses if you are a Bach to Masters student.  This will give you Grad credits for the cost of Undergrad tuition.

Thank you for your response BJ!  Yes, it's $10K per year and they will also pay $45K for an Executive MBA. I'm very grateful.

The residency waiver is paid (they picked up that bill as well as the graduation fees too) and I will plan to move ahead with BALS for March graduation because I need the bachelors for now and dont want to wait. 

Our company has a service through EdAssist gives us access to Academic coaches and they've provided me with a Personalized Education Plan based on the consultation that I had with them. At the time, I said I wanted to investigate competency based programs and also Amberton. I said competency based because of my work schedule being busy sometimes and other times I am able to plow through schoolwork because I'm not that busy. I chose competency based because I thought it offered the most flexibility. What I am concerned about now though is people stating that competency based programs are for people who have experience in the field and can get through courses fast. If I get through them at my own pace, would a competency program still be ok or are they only for people who are familiar with everything? Thank you in advance!
