MBA from Hellenic American University (HAU)

[wow]

No transfers but I did receive 3 course waivers based on the combo of prior study and work experience. They were also flexible in switching out one of the waived classes for another as I did want to wait for availability of a more rarely offered class.

Thanks. I'm probably thinking of transfers and waivers as the same thing-- basically, resulting in fewer classes that you have to take at HAU. But of course there would be the formal distinction that waivers would not appear on the transcript, while transfers would.

While I have you here, I noticed that the major that interests me most (Digital Marketing) requires 3 or 4 courses outside the regular MBA courses and exceeding the 2-elective limit. Are those "extra" courses associated with a major part of the $3000 tuition scholarship (if still available when/if I'm ready to apply), or do they need to be paid for separately?

And is there any difference between the regular online mba and the rolling cohort online MBA?

The waivers do appear on the transcript as waived. For the rest of your questions, I think you’d be best off just asking them directly.

HAU have tests? Are they proctored?
I prefer competence based and looked at WGU but they have proctored tests and is not guaranteed you will pay only $5k, you may need another term and that will get to to any state university price for an MBA online, which is $10k.
Purdue same style as WGU.

I recall HAU has quizzes, they're not proctored. You'll have to do lots of writing though, as expected for most graduate programs... UMPI MAOL is another option for those who aren't willing to get stuck to the generic MBA choice... Same deal, writing and more writing, but should be better than PUG/WGU.

Writing and power points are all done by ChatGPT. Nothing to worry about here.
I messaged Dean to make sure this didn’t change and there are no proctored exams.

Thank you for replying . When did u graduate from HAU.

@KMS, Basically... please don't spread incorrect information about the UMPI MAOL program being $10K. Most people finish it in two sessions, each session is $2350, so for about $4700, you get a MAOL. It's not as cheap as the $3K MBA at HAU, but can potential be cheaper for those who do 3 of the 12 classes in a session for undergrad. Link: https://www.umpi.edu/yourpace/academic_p...eadership/

Lastly, please don't use ChatGPT to do your homework for you. Hopefully from all your posts on the ENEB thread, you did the classic option versus the exam option. Your ENEB plus previous studies, at most would be considered a RA Bachelors equivalent, your secondary evaluation may be a grad cert. Again, you may want to take your time reviewing previous posts/threads for more info on all programs.

Please don't use AI in school. It undermines the value of the degree and negates learning you would otherwise acquire through study.  Far from a victimless transgression, entering the workforce with a credential you didn't earn discredits the esteem hiring managers will hold for your fellow alumni who follow you into the workforce.

HAU is a small school with extremely limited name recognition. It would be a shame to sully their reputation by graduating without the requisite mastery of business. They provide a unique opportunity to earn an affordable RA MBA. If you must earn a degree without studying, there are better options.

Submitting as your work an assignment written by ChatGPT is at best a subtle lie.

It's subtle in that the grader may not be able to prove as readily or unequivocally that one single instance was plagiarized as they would if it was copied from a published source.

You can still be caught in a subtle lie – especially a repeated pattern of subtle lying – and face similar consequences as you'd face for any lie.

If you’re going to use ChatGPT just don’t go for a graduate degree at all. Be an adult and get to writing your own papers rather then using an engine to create your papers which is plagiarism since it’s not your original work. Don’t go seeking a HAU MBA and spoil the name and reputation of the small university many of us worked hard to get our degree from because you want an easy way to a masters degree.
