Edgewood College/UpGrad DBA; potentially $11,250

Hello everyone!

I just started this program yesterday! I jumped into this program after reading up on Lidel's experience. I did opt into the MBA+DBA program since I figured adding 5 extra classes to earn a ACBSP accredited MBA wouldn't hurt. Educationally and professionally I have a business administration and government HR background, although my masters is STEM related. I have finished ENEB's MBA and Masters in Corporate Communications for fun and to collect grad credits. As a US student, there has been no mention of UpGrad. I am not sure if this is simply because I am just starting out in the program or if they only communicate directly with international students.

I am currently taking BUS 901 Introduction to Academic Scholarship in Business and BUS 606 Strategic Marketing. Both classes have about a dozen quizzes and then a final project that consists of a paper and a presentation, all due on the last day of class. No weekly deadlines or mandatory discussion boards! This seems like a very good program for working professionals! The lectures that I have listened to so far have been fast paced enough to not bore me and are great to put on in the background while I work. I haven't jumped into the reading material yet so I cannot speak on that.

I did have the option of transferring credits in from ENEB. Specifically, Strategic Marking, using an IEE evaluation. The caveat is that your evaluation has to grant you the full 3 credits. Edgewood would not round up credits for evaluation where 2.5 or 2.75 credits where granted. Any financial/accounting classes from ENEB were not acceptable to transfer due to them not focusing on the US finances. I decided not to transfer any credits in because I want the full experience, and am not paying out of pocket.
