which doctorate program allows installments?

[huiwh1998]

Which doctorate program allows installments? For example, you can pay per credit/course and not have to pay the whole thing at one time.

I know VUL is quite fast, yet you've to pay the whole thing at once. Are there any of them just like the VUL, but with installment plans and can be done 12-ish months?

Thank you all!

California Southern University has a monthly payment plan. They do not accept federal financial aid. I think they have doctoral degrees in business and psychology
Edit: I don't know about 12 months

Check out Doctor of Social leadership at the Omega Graduate School, could be finished in 5 terms. They accept installments. There are two terms fall and spring broken into two sub terms which are 7 weeks each. Online programs require no residency.

How much transfer credit does it allow? I know VUL allows kind of like 2/3 of the total transfer credits. And also, does it accept validential? If yes, eneb/ui1 graduates will have one more choice!

This program seems like an alternative to the VUL one, for people who aren't into the Health Administration program and require a Leadership or Management program instead. It's also TRACS (same as VUL)... Interesting to say the least, I would just email them to ask if they accept Validential, I checked their website for transfer credit, doesn't seem to indicate either...

If the OP is asking which doctorate programs allow folks to pay by the class I would guess most of them. Programs like VUL that require payment in full are the exception and not the rule.

Now,if he is asking if colleges let you essentially finish a degree with a payment plan before everything is paid for, the answer is definitely NO, unless you take out a loan.

I mean, I want fast (1 year like VUL), installments available, and (hopefully) cheaper than VUL. Are there any options?

[bjcheung77]

Basically, I would get you to create a short list of institutions mentioned in the grad forum of this and the sister board (DegreeInfo). Find the ones you want, for example, the Level 8 UK Diploma $1.5K USD (3 months) & Westcliff DBA for $12K-$13K USD and can be done in 12 months, total 15 months at the earliest... And then keep compiling the list to get your top 5 choices and maybe even add one/two as backup options. Even if it takes you a little longer than 12 months/1 year, you'll still be able to get the doctorate within 15months-18months and all for under $18/19K USD.

Doctorates are a dime a dozen, with plans under one year and a under 15k price point. Also, remember that accreditation is a big factor.

Yeah, but not many accept instalments, accredited, and not that hard.
