Smart.ly & WorldQuant - Initial DEAC Application

[cacoleman1983]

Woo Hoo... we have some changes coming along with these two providers...

1) Smart.ly changed their name to Quantic School of Business & Technology and offers a FREE MBA and Executive MBA
There are also FREE certificates and Executive Certificates, check the site for more details here: https://smart.ly/

2) WorldQuant University is completely FREE for a Masters of Science in Financial Engineering and a Data Science CEM (Continuing Ed Module - think of it as a free certificate in introductory data science).  I want to take a crack at this program.  https://wqu.org/

Both of these FREE degrees are somewhat hard to get into, you need to apply to their program and do well with the requirements.  Especially WQU, it requires a 75% on the entrance exam.  I want to take a crack at this when it actually becomes NA!

Actually, I should do it early so I can complete most of the program and when it does become NA, i'll finish the last requirements then.... hmm...

Does Quantic still offer a free MBA? If not, when did they begin to charge for it?

No,  they stopped offering free tuition a couple of years ago.  They have a promo for about 400 students, myself included, for a $6000 scholarship that was awarded and decreased the tuition from $9,600 to $3,600.   This is a new program specifically for those pursuing the Executive MBA which I assume their primary target was those who applied previously but never started their program.
