Cheapest/Easiest Master's? Hellenic, WGU, UMPi?

I agree with Jonathan. I believe it is better for him to stick with the same study environment at UMPI for his master's degree. I know some students who transferred to WGU, and they did not perform well because the learning environment is totally different.

I also went to WGU for a term and hated it. It's soooooo different than UMPI. Yeah, they're both CBE programs, but that's all that they have in common. You don't have a professor at WGU. Instead, you get a Course Instructor who doesn't actually grade or evaluate your assignments. I didn't find them to be overly helpful as they couldn't tell me what I was doing wrong when I needed help with the assignments because they're not grading the work. It was very frustrating.

UMass Global MAOL is cheaper than UMPI if he plans to take more than 6 months with it.

But the diploma will also say Global so it will scream online degree which everyone' isn't comfortable with. It's also not really UMass.

WGU does not have professors. You need to find alternative ways to learn the material. We have other learning resources available such as LinkedIn Learning and Udemy. Students have the flexibility to learn at their own pace, which is one of the key benefits of WGU.
