Does anyone know if this is still accurate about enrolling without an undergrad degree? This url does not work and I can't seem to find this information on the Aspen website.

If anyone had any information about any other Masters program that will let you enroll before you have finished your undergrad degree, could you pass that information to me.

Thanks in advance for any information.

I believe the Edinburgh Business School does not have an undergrad prerequisite, but you'll have to check.

I am currently going to Aspen for my Bachelors in Business with plans to go for a Masters in Scrience Nursing with a management emphasis through Aspen. It works for me as i don't intend to change schools. I personally think it is a good low cost option for those who don't plan to continue on or who plan to continue on through Aspen only. I know for nursing i could not go straight to Master degree I must complete the Bachelors first. I know for a fact tution is on the rise at aspen and will go up again in the spring. They do have a referal bonus if you are planing on going please use my name you get a discount of $250 and so do I.

having worked Admissions, you are always safer going with a Regionally Accredited school. I saw a lot of students lose out credits they took at DETC & ACICS schools. Of course it depends on you, but if you think you may want to transfer schools midway of your programs, RA is the best way to go.

but of course everything is relative to your goals.............

That's a hard call- because if you want a trade degree (mine is culinary) RA isn't an issue. HOWEVER, like you said, if you want to move up the degree chain you'll need to plan ahead. My husband and I both have NA associate degrees in culinary arts- that's our industry standard. I am almost finished earning my BA (starting at zero credits), and it will be RA - so I am not going back- in other words, my MA will be RA (and so would my PhD). My husband on the other hand had no interest in anything outside of culinary/hospitality/hotel so he found a NA bachelor degree program that took 100% of his NA associate degree. Should he desire an MBA, it will certainly have to be NA.
He works in industry- I teach in a community college. Different paths in the same field. You can choose either path, just know that you'll get to a fork in the road and things are much easier if you know AHEAD of time where you want to end up.
RA and NA don't go back and forth.

Look elsewhere as Aspen is expensive now. I applied to them a decade ago trying to skip the bachelors degree and straight into their MBA as the requirements then allowed it as long as you have 15 years experience. Strangely, they changed it at the last minute during the time when I applied.

Anyways, if cost is what you're looking at. Skip the DEAC/Nationally Accredited route as I have fallen for that more than once, another school I attended lost their accreditation, and they were accredited for the longest time... You can get into RA competency based programs as the cost/speed of finishing the program is most desirable.

PS Notes: Hodges, NAU, Patten, WGU and more offer term based programs and charge 2-3grand.
If you can finish your degree in that allotted time, that's the entire cost of your degree, better than NA.
BTW, this thread is 7.5 years old. Hmmm, it just got resurrected, :coolgleam:

Who's been digging around in an 8 year old thread?
