Westford acquisition of Acacia (NA), USA

[bjcheung77]

We've talked about Westford before, they're the ones working in partnership with UCAM to provide the $14K USD DBA!  Now they're acquiring Acacia University that is DEAC accredited!

One of the Acacia programs seem interesting even though it's NA, a roughly $19K USD ($330/credit), 36 month Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership is a 60-credit program.

Hmm, it's been a little over a year since I posted this, just reviewed it and interesting enough, they dropped the pricing tuition to somewhat come closer to the DBA costs.  It's now just $15K, 3 years for this Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership... Seems like a very good deal for those who don't mind Nationally Accredited degrees as the institution has Merit-based awards.  

So, for example, you're an A student, the tuition is FREE if you score higher than 92% on your classes, if you're a B student, you get 75% discount if you score 84% or higher, and if you're an average student, you still get that 50% off!  That means, this EDEL actually is roughly $7500! They have other scholarships too... Link: https://www.acacia.edu/scholarship/
