Walden Master I/O Psychology -compentency based $1100 - My journey

[xspect]

Hi!  I do have some questions for you:

When you said the capstone was every other course, what did you mean by that?
Is this degree 36 credits?
What is a betterup interview?

Thank you in advance!

That was a typo. I meant to say the capstone was my easiest class.

It was 45 quarter credit hours. I transferred in 15 hours

Betterup is a professional coaching session to help you with your capstone.

32 semester credits, 48 quarter credits?

45 quarter hours

Thank you for the response! Great news about the capstone!

Just because, plus I'm getting my DNP in psych. Having a psychology degree won't hurt my resume and may help me stand out a little.

Also, it's $1100 for the program which I  pay ~$366/mo for 3 months. kinda a no brainer.

I have a few questions about Walden.

1. Did you transfer any graduate credits into the I/O program?
a) if yes, where did you complete the graduate credit and which courses?

2. I'm a little confused about the course structure, you mentioned, each course is three papers, each around 10 pages, can you please provide more details.

3. Are you expecting to complete the entire program in three months?

4. Do you know if the program is  accredited by the American Psychological Association?

I have a few questions about Walden.

1. Did you transfer any graduate credits into the I/O program?

Yes

a) if yes, where did you complete the graduate credit and which courses?

two leadership type courses from Capella MBA program, two Statistic courses from WGU MSN informatics program

2. I'm a little confused about the course structure, you mentioned, each course is three papers, each around 10 pages, can you please provide more details.

Each credit hour is a separate "competency" with a discussion portion and a paper portion.

3. Are you expecting to complete the entire program in three months?

Yes


4. Do you know if the program is  accredited by the American Psychological Association?

As far as I know. APA doesn't grant any accreditation to competency-based programs

Do you have any say in the order of courses, or do you have to follow a predetermined order?

If you talking about Walden you can pick any order. But the capstone has to be last.

Great, thanks.

I’m really interested in hearing about your journey with this. I moved away from the Walden program initially for the cost. I spoke with an enrollment counselor today but they didn’t really have a lot of info to share based on the program age.

I was scheduled to start the MSML with WGU but this program has made me pause a moment to ponder. How was your tuition so low? The temp looks to be about $2300 per 3 month session.

The I/O psych program among a few others are running a 50% off special

I am really interested in this. Have you been enjoying it? I won’t be able to do the 50%off because I am still working on my bachelors at this time, but this is definitely on my radar for the future! Any insight on the program and weather or not it’s worth it would be appreciated!
