South College announces competency-based DBA

[EducationSeeker]

What is the cost?  I’m sure it’s probably smacking me in the face, but I’m not seeing it..

But even that isn't as specific as it needs to be. I remember being critical of their other program for this same reason.

So, doing the math, I see $3975 per qtr per 10-20 credit hours, but, how would this realistically break down for the DBA presuming a working professional would do this and it would likely take someone at least 1-2 years to complete? I am trying to get a ballpark total cost for the DBA although I realize this can vary by the individual?

The DBA and EdD are not even on that.

They are $6,000 per six month terms. SC has various grants that can knock $1,000 off that (first responder, WGU grad, military veterans).

So a year and a half would be $18,000 without any grants, $15,000 with
Two years would be $24,000 without grants, $20,000 with grants.

If someone thinks it will take over 2 years, especially without grant , I would actually recommend looking closely at other programs because there are some that will be same price and is locked in in case you take longer.

Thank you for the straightforward estimate. That is helpful. I don't think $15-20k is a bad price for a DBA and is worthwhile to contact South University. I am going to contact.

I appreciate the info.
