Quickest Masters Degree

ss20ts: 

We've talked about how they're the same classes many times. There are some differences. There are different professors. The coursework can and has been changed between the 2 schools. They use the same learning platform - Strut Learning.

The MAOL at UMass Global won't be fast. I've been told to plan for a minimum of a year. It's rare that a student completes this degree at UMass Global in a year or less.

UMass Global is brand new. The UMass system bought Brandman basically. It was UMass's way of building an online degree program without doing the work. It is odd as the UMass individual schools already have online degrees. A degree from UMass will be viewed differently than a degree from UMass Global.

I should have known this forum of experts would have known something so simple as the similar curricula. I hadn't thought to compare the specific platforms and course lists so I felt like I'd stumbled upon the Rosetta Stone or something. This forum really is amazing.

Thank you for the info on UMass Global's program. I knew about the Brandman purchase but not the detail of the program being comparatively strenuous.  I'll do more digging around to make sure I choose the right school for me. 

Thank you!
