PGP diploma was directly from UT

For DBA, I applied directly to Walsh. So diplomas have to be from Walsh,  a regionally accredited college.

This DBA is accredited by HLC which is recognized by the US department of education , do you know if it's also ACBSP accredited , I've seen that Walsh has  ACBSP accreditation  but is this DBA also ACBSP

No. The Walsh College listing in the ACBSP directory lists each program with ACBSP accreditation. The DBA might be too new to be ACBSP accredited at this time. “New degree programs, majors or emphases must be in effect for at least two years and have graduates before accreditation will be granted,” states the ACBSP’s Accreditation Process Book.

Hi bj 
Im interest in the DBA by great learning  and walsh college  
This DBA is accredited by HLC which is recognized by the US department of education , do you know if it's also ACBSP accredited , I've seen that Walsh has ACBSP accreditation on its residence DBA
 is this online DBA also ACBSP?

Instead of responding to your private message, I'll type it out in this thread...

Walsh College (just like TESU) is RA and has ACBSP. And just like TESU, they've got ACBSP only for their Bachelor and Master business programs. Associate and Doctorate level programs at Walsh (and also TESU) currently do not have ACBSP. Having said that, most people only look at the bachelors and masters level for that programmatic and secondary accreditation. When you reach that doctorate level, RA vs NA, having ACBSP or not, etc, wouldn't really matter if the price is right and it has valid accreditation, anything else is just icing on the cake.

I am creating this topic at the request of forum users.
I will be glad if this information and my experience will help you.
Ask your questions.

In September 2024, I enrolled into Walsh College's Doctor of Business Administration in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
The program is a collaboration of Walsh College and GreatLearning.

https://www.mygreatlearning.com/dba-aiml-online

The admission process was simple and straightforward. 2-3 phone calls, verification of diplomas and an entrance fee of 1000.

The program costs 12500$. I can provide a referral link with a discount.

Here is an example for the first part of the doctoral program.

If you are interested in other programs, please contact me, I will send a link specifically for you.

The program is designed for three years.

As a result, you will receive three diplomas:
PG Diploma in AIML from Texas University
MS in AIML from Walsh
DBA from Walsh

I enrolled in September. The studies were supposed to start in January, but were postponed for a month and started in February.
By February, we had to independently complete preparatory courses at the LMS. It were 7 ungraded courses.
The courses were about Python and an introduction to artificial intelligence.
Sometimes there were online webinars. Where the theory was explained, and you could ask questions.

The  PGP began in February. It will continue until September.

Then, until the end of the year, there will be a bridge program from Great Learning.

The second year is devoted to the master's program. The third is devoted to the doctoral courses and dissertation.
The doctoral part will include a mandatory oral general examination.
So it's not just about checking a box, this is real academic education.

PGP consists of 7 modules or courses.
A typical module lasts 4 weeks. 
Each week, there are videos and texts for learning in the LMS. Materials are from the University of Texas and Great Learnings. Also, each section ends with an ungraded quiz. Materials and quizzes are optional and do not affect progress.

There is a two-hour webinar on Saturday. The first part explains the theory for the week. The second part is dedicated to practice and live coding. The webinar is hosted by a lecturer from Great Learnings.
Attendance at the webinar is mandatory. If you miss it, you need to watch the recording. The percentage of webinars watched affects the grade.

There is a mandatory graded quiz at the end of the week. 10 questions, 40 minutes. The result affects the grade.
If you miss the deadline for a good reason, you need to ask the program advisor for an extension. They usually respond quickly and are ready to help.

There is a mandatory project at the end of the module. It contributes the most to the final grade.

There are two options for completing the project. The project is done on a Jupiter notebook. 

The business path requires minimal programming. The task is almost solved, you just need to add a few variables or lines of code. The result obtained needs to be analyzed, and a presentation prepared.

The programming path requires independent problem-solving, but no presentation is required.

You can choose a convenient path for each project.

There may or may not be a break between modules.

Hackathons are held during the holiday breakі. They are voluntary and not graded. But they are very interesting.

That's all for now.
At this point, I've passed Python - Foundations, Machine Learning, Advanced Machine Learning, Introduction To Neural Networks, Natural Language Processing with Generative AI.

The modules are not very theoretically and mathematically heavy. They are more focused on studying the corresponding Python libraries and practice. In comparison, the courses from MIT were much more theoretically difficult and almost did not include practice.

@pokxyh - Your post is just a quote of the original post... Was there something you wanted to ask or add? Sometimes it's best to type something instead of quoting each and everyone. When I see these type of posts, readers need to go all the way down to the bottom, just to read one word answers sometimes... How fun would that be if there were multiple quotes and all you want to do is read the final portion, that one sentence or one word...

Hello, how has the MS in AI been coming along? Is the experience any different than the course with UT Austin?

I've been considering this program but have some concerns. I don't know if we can post links, but if you Google some Reddit posts about Great Learning, there are some negative reviews, a few regarding the course with UT Austin, claiming it is a scam (I don't believe this would be considered a scam honestly, I just think some people went into these courses with too high of expectations). Great Learning has also obviously posted multiple fake positive reviews created with ChatGPT on the negative Reddit posts, which is not a good look on their end. This thread has provided great insights, and I am still heavily considering this program as it really is a great offer for what you are getting. I would love to hear others' opinions or experiences as well.

Reread my previous posts. Nothing new has happened in a week.
I'm happy with the program itself. So far, the learning process is no different from PGP UT Austin.
I don't know much about Reddit.
