Edgewood College/UpGrad DBA; potentially $11,250

[prinalkapadi]

Hey Guys,
I have come across some interesting discussion on Edgewood College for DBA. I am also potentially looking to get in to this program. 
Please help me with on few queries,
1. Does College provide the mentor for the research thesis
2. Who delivers the lectures? Upgrad or Edgewood?
3. Normally Doctoral course is of 3 yrs, is 2 yrs course recognised globally?
4. DBA course still not accredited by HLC (couldn’t find on HLC website). 
How is overall course content and literature availability. 
Thanks guys. Please help me out.

Hey everyone.

I just finished course #5 and wanted to give another quick update. This last course was on qualitative analysis. It was heavy on reading, very dry stuff, but fairly informative. The instructor was the Dean, and as always, her instructional videos and quizzes were excellent at bringing together the information presented in the materials. The final assignment built well on previous course content. The final marking was a little vague, just a grade and a line or two of input. 

I met with the Dean one-on-one to discuss the Doctoral program in general and provide student feedback. It shed a lot of light on the direction we will be going and what has happened to this point. Each course now offers at least one live group office hours Zoom call. Dr. Palmisano acknowledged that our cohort had a rough start, and they have since redesigned the first course to address those issues. Overall, it was a very positive meeting, and I am optimistic about the remaining courses and dissertation.

UpGrad is still UpGrad. They mean well but often needlessly overcomplicate things. I just engage them as little as possible. 

I'm enjoying the program and can't believe how fast the time is flying!

Okay. I'll see you all in about six weeks for input on the next course. Have a great day.

Thanks for providing insightful information. It gives me more confidence on enrolling to the course. 

Does the college provide mentor or supervisor for our research thesis? Do they help on publishing the articles and how is literature availability, I mean do they provide free access to some of the literature database such as Scorpus, Researchgate, Elsevier etc?

Thanks
