Doctor of Management (DM) - 42 Credits/TRACS - about $16K USD

[bjcheung77]

So, you're done with your VUL DHA and want another TRACS Doctorate already?!
IAU is Nationally Accredited through TRACS (same has VUL's DHA degree) and about the same price too!
Here's an inexpensive Doctor of Management (DM) degree for $15,750 plus books/fees ($18K+ all in).

They have "various memberships including ACBSP (not accreditation)" | https://iaula.edu/approvals-accreditations/
Doctor of Management (DM) 42 credit requirement | https://iaula.edu/dm/
Tuition Doctorate $375.00 per unit | https://iaula.edu/make-payment/
Mode of Instruction, it seems they have multiple options, online is one of them: https://iaula.edu/mode-of-instruction/

Basically, I can see this more appealing for those into General Management versus Health Administration.
For those thinking of the VUL DHA, they've bumped the price to $18K USD, so it's about the same price.
However, the number of courses/time line to finish the degree is different, this program is at least 2-4 years!
Note: Please make sure to follow up with the institution to verify if it's fully online, etc, or ask questions you have.

This school is weird. The link to the program brochure doesn't work. The name of the school is yuck. International American University sounds like a fake school. The address is an office. It's not a campus. There's a spa, restaurants, traffic school, and other things in the building. They accept PayPal payments which is really strange for a college. The website is a WordPress website and the theme is listed on the bottom of the page. That just doesn't seem professional. They seem to really be going after international students. There's a graphic that says:
54 countries, 42 professors, 98% of F-1 students, and 100% like family

Their graduation rates are abysmal. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TBlf...a-16c/edit#

I think I figured out why it's so weird! When it began in 2000, it was a business consulting company. On the faculty page it says as of June 2020 there are 30 professors. So is it 42 or 30? In 2020 they had 609 students of which 580 were foreign students. No one has graduated from the DM program yet. The DBA program has had 312 graduates. There's been 1383 bachelor's degrees awarded which isn't many since they became IAU in 2006 and they only have 1 bachelor's degree. The mission state goes into their Christian faith based philosophy. They do not accept financial aid. They have articulation agreements with a few colleges:
Advanced College, South Gate, CA
Lincoln University College, Malaysia
Veritas International University, Santa Ana, CA
Western Covenant University, Los Angeles, CA
William Woods University, Fulton, MO
Yuin University, Compton, CA

This has been fascinating to read. It's such an odd place.

Any more details on this one? Is it a minimum of 4 years to complete, or does having an earned Masters reduce the time? The VUL DHA was 12 months, 48 months is far longer

You need a master's to get into it. Having a master's doesn't reduce your time.

What is TRACS? I think many of us are not familiar with that acronym.

National Accreditor. Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. Mostly famous for HBCU's (Historically Black Christian University).

HBCU actually means Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Nothing about faith.
