Edgewood College/UpGrad DBA; potentially $11,250
(09-01-2025, 11:21 AM)Al3xBurns Wrote: Howdy all!

Quick program update. I have completed BUS 922, Quantitative Analysis II, and BUS 940, Effective Organizational Leadership. Each of these courses had fairly straightforward coursework.

Quantitative Analysis required a lot of coding and interpretation. The assignments weren't particularly long, but my instructor was picky about how the raw output of my code was formatted, and that cost me more points than expected.  

Effective Organizational Leadership was a fun course. Coursework focused on analyzing an organization's leadership structure, its strengths and weaknesses, coming up with a way to grade the organization, and developing ways for the organization to improve. The final project consisted of an essay and a recorded presentation (I did a PowerPoint with a voiceover).

I am definitely happy to have completed the quantitative and qualitative courses. The grading criteria of these courses were the strictest by far, and overall, I would say the instructors' justifications for grading strayed from the rubric. I genuinely thought I had done well in each of the courses, only to lose out on lots of points because a topic was already thoroughly researched, or the instructor didn't like the topic. I know the skills taught in these courses are essential for completing my dissertation, but the feedback I received on my projects was not very substantial or valuable. Very strange overall.

I'm currently in my second week of BUS 941 Leading Change and BUS 902 Business Sustainability and Ethics. These seem to fall back into the standard that the rest of the program followed; a couple of quizzes and a few essays. Fun topics overall. By mid-October, I will start my last two courses, BUS 962 Managerial Economics and BUS 910 Financial Decision and Value Creation. These courses will wrap up by early December.

It's crazy to think I only have a few more months before I am working exclusively on my dissertation!

Thanks @Al3xBurns for sharing details on the courses and congrats for completing BUS 922 and BUS 940. 
I am starting my DBA journey as of Sept 29th and I thought that we could take only one course per 6-week term. Is it possible to take more than one courses.
