University of the People - Fee Price Hike

[StoicJ]

I do not know that UoPeople has any tuition lock. Did you see something about that? I was thinking it was going out for both current students and new students.

At this rate, the Heriot-Watt MBA just became cheaper...

I have to say too, the UoPeople support for students is AWFUL. Some of it is definitely a language barrier issues, but not all. There are also a number of professors who are far less than enthusiastic. Had one stellar professor over four terms. I cannot bring myself to do another term there. I will be over the moon to be transferring back to Walden. Probably the best part about UoPeople is meeting people from all over the world, but in terms of peer grading that is also the worst part. With the fee hike I just don't think it's worth it though. for somebody brand new to an MBA program who wants to be able to test out I would say go for Heriot-Watt unless you want a specialization they can't offer.

There is a fee lock for both undergrad and grad students. If you are set for the coming term (Term 1), you will stay at $100 and $200 respectively.

Course fees (12 x $200) + application fee ($60) + graduation fee ($0) + books ($0) = $2,460. If you get set up after Term 1 you'll be looking at $2,940. Still WAY cheaper than a Heriot-Watt MBA. Like Steve said, HW still may be a better value.
