I have been searching for a competency based MPH, and recently came across Rasmussen's online program, which they advertise for under $10,000. Does anyone have any experience with their online programs? Opinions?

I'm doing a nursing degree with RU. Generally speaking, they have a good program, sensibly organized, with good resources and an easy to use LMS. I would recommend them.

I think they're a good program, several schools have come up with Nursing related Bachelors and Masters. I wrote about Rasmussen being bought out by American Public University System, I believe APUS is trying to merge their CBE programs with Rasmussen's offerings, thus growing their portfolio - Link::

I didn't know they were being bought by APUS. I plan to begin my MPH after I finish my DHSc, and am looking ahead at possible options. CEPH is a nice plus, but not completely necessary as my interest is more in Global health. I was also looking at Columbia southern University's MPH, but it is nationally accredited. They are a similar price, and both are competency based. I like Rasmussen's accreditation and reputation better though. It will be interesting to see how APUS handles the merger. I have been scared away from schools before due to merger (I was going to do my DHSc at The University of Bridgeport, but they were being bought out by Goodwin University, so I decided to complete the program at ATSU instead).

Has anyone done this? I have a friend super interested in a MPH. I'm kind of interested myself as well as it is a rapid growing field here in California.
What's the course load like? Are the assignments like 60 pages of research a month or more managable?
Edit: not available to Californians either.

Interesting I reached out to the school to get some information and was told the following when I asked if I was able to sign up for the program since I live in New York...
Admissions responded "Yes, we do enroll students from NY. Where did you complete your Bachelor’s degree?"
