Interesting, right above it, there is an option for the Bachelor of Arts in Leadership (pilot program, cohort by invitation only). I guess they're expanding into that Leadership degree arena and want both an undergrad and graduate option. I wonder if any classes would overlap the ones they have already, or if there are any options for their degrees to have a Bachelors to Masters option...

Would be interesting to see. At $300/month it is cheaper than any MAOL, but required more units (48) and is religiously based.

Good catch! Good tuition pricing I feel.

Yeah I have to agree though when you dig into the curriculum, it's religion-spicy.

I am curious how one gets invited to the program

I am not sure if you are being critical with “religion-spicy”. Kairos is first and foremost a religious school.  The word Kairos itself is a theological word meaning in God’s time and for His purpose.  Calling Kairos “religion-spicy” would be like saying a church or seminary is too religious.  It’s their primary purpose.

I suspect it is just in early stages and will soon be open for enrollment like their other programs.

I wish it wasn’t so heavy on the religious studies as it is a very good price, but the religious classes make it a 48 unit degree. Leadership in general does not, and is most often not, taught from a religious perspective. I understand that is the goal of the University, but it greatly limits the audience. I think it is more religious’s for a leadership degree than it needs to be.

With all the dubious grad programs recommended here, a religious-based one is the least concerning lol

I wouldn't say critical, I was just affirming it...  Angel
