Elmwood Institute Increased Fees
#1
Elmwood just raised the prices for the Leadership program. It's $50 per credit now. That is $150 for every course. So, $50 in fees every single term too. If you finish in four terms, the total cost is $2,000. But that is only if you do not screw up or need to repeat anything. They are not giving out scholarships or financial aid either.

The price is low. But it is only NA. That might not be the best move. It is a massive hike from $900. But it is still one of the cheapest US accredited masters programs I can find.

It might not open as many doors if one wants to go into teaching or go on for a PhD, but otherwise an MBA from Elmwood is probably just as serviceable as any other MBA from a relatively unknown school.

But I suppose the real lesson here is that if you see a really great deal, take it before the institution changes its mind.

Just to clarify, it is a Master's of Leadership and Management.

They offer a couple bachelor's too, but the tuition is higher.

I applied once before and wasn't accepted... even with a strong gpa. (I think the cohort was already full).

And idea if the cohort sizes are still small, or have they announced if things are opening up at all?
