Also in CBE, their MS in IT Management and MA in Ministry, and post-doctoral certificates associated with the DBA and EdD specializations.

They are RA, but they are a for profit school which many people dislike. It's unfortunate that they're South College and not South University with offering master's and doctoral programs. There already is a South University so that could be the issue.

South U is separate. They had accrediation issues, South College's are pretty strong. 

Honestly for a for profit, their tuition seems to be one of the lowest out there, so take it for what it's worth.   Some of the non-profits are 2x as high. ha ha

Ah nice.....Some one said the post docs are like an add on.    I really liked the subscription style that they offered....and no discussion boards for classes!! That's a big win as those are a pain in most programs I've ever seen and heard about.

South University isn't separate. It's an entirely different college.

The tuition is low for CBE. The rest of their tuition isn't so low. Not at all especially when you realize that they're on the quarter system not semesters.

I'll be starting the Ed.D next month, seems like it'll be doable in 2-3 terms

[bjcheung77]

Three terms may be the fastest option so far, are they allowing you to cram so many classes into two terms?

On the South College CME unofficial FB group, there are a couple people who have completed the EdD/DBA in two terms, although three is more common. Dissertation is about six months, so basically have to complete everything else in the first six months to make it in only two terms.

[walruspanda]

From a recent survey on the South College CME unofficial FB group, asking about the EdD and DBA:

• 2 terms: 25%
  
• 3 terms: 56%
  
• 4 terms: 18%
  

None 1 term, none more than 4. Only 16 votes, but still a bit of information.

[bjcheung77]

Interesting, out of those 16... there were 9, 4, and 3 votes in those respective options for terms, strange thing is it adds up to 99%...
