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

[Harry101]

Hm, lets try it like this. Can you explain to me how does a degree that costs around 65k-70k $ in the US . Get's sold by an Indian education company for 12k $ ?

Literally all the US univ is doing is printing a degree. For that they are taking a sum that is profitable for them of the cash. Upgrad is taking some % and paying their "adjuncts" and delivering the course using wage arbitrage from India where the labour for the IT side, program development side and instructor side is around 10% of the states. So, a 65-70k degree if it costs 60k to deliver in states costs 6k in India. Charge 12-20K for the class and the margin and net dollars are actually better for everyone except the workers than normal US classes.

If Upgrad is doing enough to satisfy the partners accrediation bodies in the long run, we shall see.

Meanwhile, if so inclined, there is a window for people to get a degree at a great discount from recognized schools. If I wasn't not inclined to be doing a DBA for the next 3 yrs versus the 2 or hopefully 18 months at South college, I would be starting this program instead of south college's DBA in Oct.

But gonna roll the dice I can accellerate thru the SC DBA

Adjutant staff means they have to hold a license by the government for teaching in higher education, do you have a link where upgrad is listed in India for it?
