UpGrad DBA Golden Gate U - 70% scholarships for 5,000 students

@cerich67, That I don't know, I was looking at the program, if it gave alumni status, email, and whatever perks that come with their enrollment, having that for life would be awesome!  I am always looking for those type of programs...

@asianphd, are you done with their program already? Upgrad seems great on paper, I am still reserved on taking a program from them.  I think its doable if I don't have as high of an expectation as I currently do!

I am having an internal debate on the South College Ed.D in Org Leadership or this. As a Canadian who is about to leave the states for middle east and asia, I would be able to do the Upgrad GGU as non US Citizen not in states.

South College gives a $1000 off per 6 month term for being a vet, so 5k a term and competency, if can do in 2 years is same price as upgrad/GGU. if can manage in 1.5 yrs save 5k

Upgrad GGU is a better university brand, higher ranked and DBA at just shy of 20K and looks like 3 years is about as fast as can be done. The exam after the first three classes taken on research methods before you can advance, and after you have paid is a wee concern for me (and I tend to do well with school, but still, that would suck to bomb out then, and being tested on 3 courses (9 CH) at once with rest of the program riding on it and those courses being stats heavy. That is intimidating, and I have to wonder if designed that way to reduce the field and make it profitable. The truth is many doctorate level programs online at a bunch of schools are designed for take money, fail or drag out the courses for more money. GGU has a good academic rep, but also a high drop out rate already.

Both are RA. Both private, South for profit and GGU non profit.

Decisions.
