Masters in Project Management University of the Cumberlands
#1
So, my job is willing to pay for me to go back to school to study for a master's in project management but only offers $350 per credit. I found that the University of the Cumberlands offers a 31-credit degree. I wondered if anyone has any experience with the University of the Cumberlands. Does the school require you to incorporate religious text into your work, like Liberty University? I read before that they don't. I am also curious to know the average workload for a graduate-level course (how long papers are and if there is a lot of reading, exams, and quizzes) for any courses anyone has taken in the past. Also, has anyone ever taken a comprehensive exam with the University of the Cumberlands? What are they like? I am curious. Lastly, I have some graduate-level project management credits from over 10 years ago. Does anyone know if the University of the Cumberlands accepts old graduate credits? 

I am attracted to the University of the Cumberlands because they offer 7 week online courses, which I can complete fast if transfer credits are accepted.

I am sure someone will come by and answer your question in a few days. There are several regular posters here that are Cumberlands alumni, or are in one of their doctorate programs.

I graduated from the University of the Cumberlands in 2021 with my Master's in Information Systems Security. 

1. They do not require you to incorporate religious text into your work.
2. In the program I was in we had weekly readings, weekly discussions, quizzes, mid-term exams, simulated lab exercises, final exams, a few group projects, and the occasional paper. Papers weren't bad they require APA format, and different classes require different paper lengths.  
3. The capstone project was actually pretty fun I had to design and secure a network using all of the knowledge I gained from the classes in the program. 

Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would recommend it. The tuition can't be beat, and the teachers are knowledgeable and responsive. They are constantly adding new programs and the campus is very pretty.

Most of the quizzes were open book but timed. The labs were challenging but not overly difficult they gave pretty solid instruction on how to complete them successfully.

I may go back to the Cumberlands eventually to get my PHD in IT with a concentration in Digital Forensics they supposedly have a fantastic digital forensics program.

Were your quizzes / exams multiple choice, and were they proctored?
