Yes indeed. Glad to see more CBE options.
Sadly though, these programs didn't end up being as competitive in price as I was hoping. Overall still not bad.
But unless someone really wants the ETAMU name or much prefers an MS. The MAOL at UMPI is likely the way to go since ETAMU is not allowing the final research based course to be accelerated into and they are also allowing a max of 3 courses per 7 week term. Meaning, you are looking at a minimum of $8,000 for this and the other 2 recently added CBE master programs.

That's really unfortunate that they have a hard limit of 3 courses for CBE in their grad programs. Strange because they don't hard limit their BAAS programs

For me, ETAMU has been well worth it. I completed my bachelor's through the CBE BAAS in Human Resources program and am now working toward the CBE M.S. in Organizational Leadership.
I found my first semester a little too packed to realistically submit an acceleration request, as the two courses were fairly intensive. That may have just been the particular combination of classes, though, because one of the courses I'm taking this semester is moving much faster, and I'll be able to accelerate into a third course before the term ends.
The value proposition is also different in my situation because I'm using the Texas Hazlewood Act, which covers the full cost of tuition. Since the benefit can only be used at a Texas public institution, ETAMU was essentially my best option. Fortunately, I've had a very positive experience with the program so far and have really enjoyed it.
