New Data Analytics Programs

Because it is school of business - I wonder how well the ASU certificate program would transfer in.  If you could transfer 12/15 credits, that would make for an extraordinarily cheap route to a master's degree.

Definitely not as easy as it sounds. You're capped at transferring in 12 credits in the grad programs at Amberton which is really generous as many grad programs don't accept transfer credit. The courses have to be identical to courses at Amberton. They may fall under the Business Administration electives. None of the courses in the program appear to be the same courses taught at Amberton.

I did transfer in grad credit from another grad program. The 2 courses were the same though. I had to provide the syllabus and some of my assignments. They weren't free credits from a program like the ASU program. I wonder if anyone has graduated from that program yet. Feels like it has gone on for years.

In this degree they wouldn't necessarily have to be identical to Amberton courses. but they would have to align with what they consider appropriate to fill in those Business Admin Electives (9 credits there for  courses prefixes: ACC, BUS, ECO, FIN, MGT, MKT); they must be worth 3 credits each (not more/less). I also transferred in 12 credits (4 courses) from outside grad programs - only 1 course transferred as a perfect match to an Amberton offering. With that said, it does seem that at least some of the courses in the ASU free program would align to cover the elective subject areas. Of course can't be sure until someone tries. I hope someone who has some/all of the free ASU certificate courses does apply and reports back if they get used to cover anything within this exciting new graduate degree option.

I'll add that I have nothing but good things to say about my own Amberton experience.
