I recently started my MBA journey at Nexford University, specializing in AI, and wanted to share my thoughts and see if anyone else has experience with their programs.
So far, I've been impressed with the well-structured and organized curriculum. It's a competency-based model, which I appreciate. The program includes the following courses:
Global Business
Leadership and Organizational Development
Marketing Strategy
Technology & Operations Management
Accounting and Financial Reporting
Organizational Strategy
Introduction to Intrapreneurship and Innovation
Financial Decision Making
One of the standout features for me has been the world-class customer service. The pay-as-you-go tuition model is also a huge plus. It’s designed to be flexible, allowing you to pay less if you finish faster, and a tuition cap on all degree programs means you don't have to worry about rising costs if life gets in the way. The affordable monthly payments, absence of hidden fees, and the ability to pause or cancel at any time provide a lot of control over your budget.
Speaking of affordability, I discovered a great scholarship for North American students who have completed Sophia Learning courses. It reduces the monthly MBA tuition of $450 by 25%, bringing it down to $337.50 per month. This is a significant saving for anyone coming from the Sophia platform.
I was also able to transfer my ENEB MBA and was given the maximum 50% transfer allowance. They also accepted my Master in Supply Chain, which was evaluated by Scholaro. This was a game-changer, as it will allow me to pivot my specialization. Nexford’s transfer policy seems quite flexible, accepting credits from past academic and professional achievements to help save time and money.
Regarding the pace, my initial understanding was that I would be limited to one course per month. However, after looking into it, it seems that while new learners start with one course in their first month, they can then take up to two courses per month thereafter. This is great news, as it means I might be able to finish my remaining six courses in as little as three months.
Nexford is nationally accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and CHEA. While it's not regionally accredited, I've found the quality of the courses to be on par with other programs I've experienced.
It seems like Nexford has a strong focus on learners from Africa at the moment, but their marketing suggests a push to attract more students from the US.

How do you get the Sophia scholarship? Just take a class with Sophia?
How did you let them let you take 2 classes per month if they start people at 1 (is it because you transferred in some?)
See attached picture.

which evaluation company did you use for your ENEB degree?
I used IEE but Scholaro is better and faster, which is why I had my Master of Supply Chain evaluated by them.
And they gave you 50% credit transfer for the ENEB MBA diploma evaluated by IEE? Very interesting... finally found a way to fully utilize my ENEB degrees...

Based on this it says 1 course at a time until you complete 4 courses. That means it would take you 5 months, not 3. I am just wondering where you got that from.
Also Nexford says you can transfer up to 60% of your degree. Any reason they didnt give you 60% and only 50%?
Nexford is NA, it also depends on the classes they would accept for transfer. They're a good alternative for those who can't get in on any RA equivalents for cheap.
Given your transfer credits and the ability to register for multiple courses per semester moving forward, what are you estimating for your total time to complete everything?
