Very well could be right on that. My wife is always saying I see the glass half full, so I am pretty sure they completed the program 
It's taxing to work at the level and could also see them pumping the brakes if they already acquired the 18 teaching credits needed.

Patten has an amazing tuition but if few actually graduate, it ends up not being a value savings at all. Reason for the post is I have a friend asking and would love to be able to share some recent success stories.
My reason for not finishing was completely unrelated to the school. My plan is to finish it next year.

Also, someday maybe a MS in Forensic Psychology, just for fun. Oh, and a BS in Animal Behavior. And, maybe when I'm 85 a PhD in something fun.

Any updates?
We are all on the same side here, trying to better our lives....so let's get along and help each other out.
Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire.

Here is the thread by the woman who finished in 4 months while pregnant and caring for a young kid: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...n-4-months
It might have been linked before, but the links broke because of the forum switch.

I'm trying to get back into the saddle again. My issues are not related to the school - I kind of like it - but related to my life, moves, kids, grandkids, etc.
I'm trying to start towards September again - to make the most out of this year and next year's tuition reimbursement.

Love hearing that it's still on the board for you. We are all cheering you from the sideline. Heck, I might even drive the family down for your graduation when it goes down

I just remember someone else who finished a Patten MBA - Armyb77, it's in their signature.
MBA: Patten University - Master of Business Administration - Information Technology 2017
I wonder if they have a little bit of time to "give some info" on the program, for prospective Patten students.
Not for me, but whoever may want to choose them in the future - would be helpful tips to know.
