UCN like doctorate options?

[Sdmj33]

Are there any cheap online DBAs similar to the one offered by the UCN? I need it to have a positive WES Canada evaluation. Also, the shorter the duaration, the better. I couldnt find anything on here using the search option.

That's a good question. Azteca would've been one, but (like UCN) WES is not evaluating them right now. Swiss Management Center would've been an option (although a very murky one) but WES has them blocked, too, and probably because they derive their "accreditation" entirely through their UCN partnership.

There is Apollos here in the U.S. at about $17K, but as the whole NA/RA thing is still winding down (and will for a while), there may be hassles from Canada over it being classified as NA.

Do we know if they get a positive evaluation from any other canadian evaluating agencies? Like IQAS? 

Then again there a risk of getting a negative assessment after the completion of the program cuz a lot could change in 2 years.

Haven't heard on IQAS.

You make an excellent point about the risk of changes over time. It wasn't long ago that UCN, Azteca and SMC were all being evaluated. Now, all blocked by WES.

I just found out that ICES does not evaluate UCN degrees. They specifically mention UCN and UCN only as the institution whose credentials they dont evaluate.

I know I'm being kind of ignorant with this but I'm not sure what you mean when you say "similar to the one offered by the UCN."  What is it about this degree that makes it different than other DBA's?

Incredibly low price ($15k) and allowing people to transfer in all credits except the dissertation (not sure if this is universal, but they seem to have no limits on it)

15K for UCN's DBA? I didn't know it was that expensive. Yeah, I'd skip that. Azteca's is as low as $5300. They weren't very professional in the dealings I had with them... oh, who am I kidding, they were extremely unprofessional, but on price that's a way better deal.

$5,300?! Holy jeez. Do you happen to know if they accept the credits from ENEB/UI1?

Also, do we know what the dissertation process looks like for Azteca? I've got free time to put into studies, but a doctorate for me is basically just a hobby, lol
