Anyone Heard About Walden's Competency Program - Tempo Learning $199 per month

[Saharapost]

Perhaps it might be of help to someone. A friend got an email from Walden University with an offer to pay $199 per month towards a competency based MBA program.

For a regionally accredited degree which also allows a transfer of 18 credits to the masters program, this is a good deal I believe. It appears to me that they are yet to update the website with the new tuition plan. Part of the email reads:

Why wait to earn that MBA you have always wanted? Especially when you could pay a third of the cost of a traditional, course-based MBA, and complete it at a pace that’s entirely set by you.

Introducing Tempo Learning™ by Walden, a new competency-based learning experience. With Tempo Learning, your previous education and work experience expedite your learning and earn you an MBA faster.
It’s about your time and your success with Tempo Learning. Here’s how every minute counts when achieving an MBA in a competency-based format:

Advance at a pace that’s right for you, with no weekly deadlines.
Control your costs with a 3-month subscription. The faster you learn, the less you pay.
Learn with support from Walden faculty and a dedicated Academic Coach.

Register now and only pay $199/month towards an MBA*. I am ready to talk with you anytime to answer your questions and help you make the right choice for your educational goals.

Sincerely,
