RE: First Term Free at Walden! - SweetSecret - 12-03-2018 Quote:sanantone Thanks for addressing the email earlier! I just ran some quick numbers on LinkedIn, and I am sure I missed some options, but depending on how you want to count here is what I found using a boolean search:

They are using the Microsoft cloud platform (Office 365 is free for college students, so the cloud is included). I've only spent a few minutes logged in but the Student Portal interface is well laid out, even giving you a tutorial option the first time you login. Thanks for elaborating on the email situation, knowing we'll have cloud included is a big relief for me! By the way, for anyone else who is following and wondering about a dual concentration AFTER completing the first concentration totally including the capstone course (and probably after graduating)... I noticed last night that alumni receive 25% of tuition for the second degree (in April '17 it was 15% & in Dec '16 it was 30% per WayBackMachine). So if Walden keeps that offer in 2019/2020 then for me with the social entrepreneurship degree if I only need 3 additional courses (after graduating with the first degree) then the cost would be dropped from $8,795 to $6,596.25. Has anyone looked to see how many written papers are being required?

There are probably hundreds of thousands of people with criminal justice degrees who want to become FBI agents or some other kind of federal law enforcement officer, but a small percentage end up working in the field. On the other hand, there are many federal law enforcement officers who have non-CJ degrees.Quote:sanantone To put it differently, what percentage of people doing social entrepreneurship consulting have social entrepreneurship degrees? Sometimes, people fall into the trap of being too literal. Some occupations require specific degrees, but most are rather flexible. RE: First Term Free at Walden! - videogamesrock - 12-03-2018 It looks like they waved the zero credit course for me. Does anyone know what the requirement is to get the course waived? They also check the box off on this competency as being fulfilled already: PM010: Strategic Stakeholder Management RE: First Term Free at Walden! - Ideas - 12-03-2018 (12-03-2018, 11:19 AM)SweetSecret Wrote: That's interesting to me. I wonder if a lot of those are Walden graduates. Sanantone has really good points. Great on the alumni discount!

[/quote] I'd have to check. I'm in the health care management concentration and didn't see anything else fulfilled. I just received my bill showing that the $2,250 first term deduction was applied, and I owe $0. My enrollment advisor told me to tell anyone who might be interested that the deadline to enroll has been extended a few days. She wants me to tell people to contact her directly. I don't know if she gets a bonus for this; earning commission would be illegal.

They also check the box off on this competency as being fulfilled already: So we're classmates in the Project Management MBA - I'm sure that your BS, Business Administration waived the first course (as it did for myself). I did not get anything applied other than the first course. As far as the PM010 do you have and courses/exams on your transcript that could have been seen to be equivalent to (below)?:.

I added the competencies I wanted to my plan. I added everything that is selected-response (multiple choice) and short answer. I'll tackle the other types of assessments later because they'll take longer. My first snafu resolved - it was user error (yes my own ) - I logged in using the incorrect page link.

The only thing I can think of is my resume where I've highlighted all of the projects I've worked on. RE: First Term Free at Walden! - GoodYellowDogs - 12-03-2018 Hit a snag. Can't get an informal transcript from Excelsior. Don't have a copy of it. The original is packed in boxes in storage. I'm trying to get a letter from Excelsior stating that I graduated. Sigh. Email and verbal onfirmation that there are no additional or hidden cost for books, etc. for the MHA. |
