ETAMU CBE Master Degrees

[bjcheung77]

Just like WGU Bachelors & Masters combo, ETAMU and UMPI can be 'one-and-done' institutions as well, where you get the CBE Bachelors and ladder to a CBE Masters afterwards... Especially when the costs can be so similar to what WGU price point is currently set at...

While there's no way of knowing if this will be the final tuition rate, for the spring courses the tuition was the same as undergraduate: $1000 for in-state (covered by the scholarship) and $2000 for out of state.

Yeah, I almost shared that information too. If they don't raise the tuition for the Master's degree options that will be hard to turn down.

Great find, here our my notes from reviewing. 

Personal thoughts: The M.S. in Organizational Leadership, might be a bit better than I realized if they indeed have these 3 concentrations. Also, the M.Ed. appears to have two concentrations also. 

Per the Feb. meeting approval was given for the CBE Master's Programs fees to be $2,000 per 7 week term. 

Personal thoughts: Based on the CBE Bachelors programs they charge more for out of state $2,000 per 7 week term versus $1,000, so I imagine the out-of state fee will be more as well for the Masters programs. Will be interesting to see if it is a flat $1,000 more or they double it. So I could see somewhere in $3,000 to $4,000 range per 7 week term for out-of-state. 

Here are my notes from reviewing the agenda.

The M.S. in Organizational Leadership, might be a bit better than I realized if they indeed have the 3 concentrations. The Public Safety and M.Ed. also have 2 concentration options it appears.
College of Innovation & Design

Bachelors degrees (Looking to get approval from the board and submit to the Texas Higher Education Board)

• Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Sports Media Studies, Proposed Start Date Fall 2025 (pg. 232) (Does not appear to be CBE, but still a pretty cool degree option not offered many other places, doesn’t appear to be an online option though)
  

Masters degrees - all will be CBE (Looking to get approval from the board and submit to the Texas Higher Education Board)

• Master of Education (M.Ed.) in instructional design, Proposed Start of Fall 2025 (pg. 236-241). Looks like there will be 2 concentrations within this degree, listed as follows: Corporate Training and Development or Curriculum Innovation with Artificial Intelligence.
  

• Master of Science (M.S.) in Organizational Leadership, Proposed Start of Fall 2025 (pg. 242-247). If I am reading this correctly it appears there will be 3 concentrations within this degree, listed as follows: Corporate Training and Development, Disaster Preparedness, or Curriculum Innovation with Artificial Intelligence. (When I originally saw thes 3 options late 2024 I thought they were 3 separate degrees, but looks like they will be specializations within the same degree, pretty cool)
  

• Master of Science (M.S.) in Public Safety, Proposed Start of Fall 2025 (pg. 248-253) looks like concentrations in Corporate Training and Development or Disaster Preparedness.

Really good write up. One question that comes to my mind is how much overlap there will be for someone to get a second masters.  From the summary at least there appears to be a decent amount.

Note the existing second master's policy at ETAMU.

Subject to the approval of the Department Head and Graduate Dean, students holding masters/specialist degrees from a regionally accredited graduate institution in the United States may apply certain courses that were a part of a previously earned graduate degree toward a second masters/specialist degree, provided such courses are not more than 6 years old at the time the second master's degree is conferred. The number of courses so permitted will be as follows:

1. For 30-semester-hour degree, no more than 9 approved hours.
   
2. For 36-semester-hour degree, no more than 12 approved hours.
