+--- Thread: First Term Free at Walden! (/Thread-First-Term-Free-at-Walden)
RE: First Term Free at Walden! - Ideas - 11-30-2018
I began enrolling 24 hours ago and it feels like I'm not close to done.
But not doing the MBA. I plan to pay more elsewhere to get a different MBA concentration.
At Walden, I'm aiming for an $1800 Masters
With fees, I guess it will push over $2000. But I need time off after my first term.

Thank you for reminding me that I had nothing to lose by inquiring on this. I think it is good that we're both doing the MBA but different concentrations - it will likely benefit the forum with both areas being pursued. Now we just need a few others to sign up for the Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) and the MS in Early Childhood Studies and we'll have all the competency-based programs offering the First Term Free covered.

Do the MHA!
Yes, early childhood.
RE: First Term Free at Walden! - sanantone - 11-30-2018
It looks like we have them all covered.
Too bad Walden doesn't have CAHME accreditation. It's not really needed unless you want to join USPHS, though.
RE: First Term Free at Walden! - eriehiker - 11-30-2018
I am doing the early childhood/administration MS. I am hoping to earn enough Ed. Leadership courses to get an administrative certificate. I was accepted this afternoon.

Which concentration did you choose?

Just read through this whole thread... what a bunch of nerds.
(Nerds are the best type of people, especially nerds who like saving money)

Threads like this are why I'm convinced that I will someday have an MBA despite having no need/desire for one. But how can I pass up a cheap degree?
