Hello everyone and good morning 🌞 just wondering if anyone with a negative balance right now know when funds will be sent to heartland or if they already started sending some?

Planning on taking this class for my next term, what should I expect for weekly course work? Is it assignment heavy? or papers every week? (this is the regular track, not excel-track).

1. If there is a way to test out quickly, how does one get to apply for it?

I'm extremely busy and always traveling due to work so I'm already planning on needing to do a little extra just because of missed seminars.

-thanks

How many credits can be combined with a capstone semester? And is capstone required to meet a weekly deadline, like a traditional 10 week course?

I have 11 credits for a full load then M1 for my capstone … then my last semester is just capstone completion.

I ask because if I can cram 16 credits this next semester, 14 the following semester— I can do all capstone credits in one sitting and just be done.

Is 16 a lot ? I’ve been doing 12 at a time but I just realized I could look ahead and prep my coursework, allowing me to submit assessments rather quickly.

Any advice is appreciated
Thanks

UPDATE: Got in touch with them today and now the funding offer is there

I wanted to pursue a MS degree in HR or management. Purdue Global is offering MS in mgt and leadership for 25k. And Touro university worldwide is around 14k. I obviously find Touro financially a better option but then I feel Purdue global carries the name Purdue which might benefit somewhere in the future for jobs. I'm currently not working, but will start soon and want to earn the degree side by side. I have a MBA from India.

Just got a bunch of Visa gift cards from friends and family for my birthday. Can these be put towards tuition? That would be very nice if they could because that would represent a significant chunk of the bill for me

Is it possible for them to allow me to take my last 4 classes all together

I am in my last week of my last class before I graduate. My professor graded my assignment with a rubric from a different assignment we already did and he gave me a zero and told me to redo it. I’m talking like, entirely different topic than the unit 10 assignment instructions or rubric. I emailed him because I figured maybe he just accidently graded with the wrong rubric. He literally said “I provided the areas of the discussion in the feedback.” and that’s it. Like? My concern is that i don’t know how to fight this battle and I also don’t know if it’s worth it. The term ends tuesdays and i want my grades finalized as soon as possible so i can apply to law school, but im concerned because i genuinely already wrote and turned this paper that matches his feedback and it might be flagged as plagiarism if i rewrite it since yk I only wrote it two weeks ago. Like I guess I just don’t know if it’s worth fighting or what the process is if I wanted to do something about it.

hey guys! I'm a high schooler, digging up some insider information about Purdue (specifically for my supplemental essays). If there's any incoming freshman/ current student/ alumni who can possibly help me to get some information about Purdue's traditions, fests, community, and stuff like that, I'd really appreciate it.

Do you find it harder to stay motivated when the weather is nice outside?

Hi. I'll be in Lafayette (IN) in august to join my boyfriend (PhD in Purdue). Then, we'll have holidays from 28th august to 4th September. We was wandering about take a flight to explore U.S.A (it's my first time here, I'm from Italy). We could take a flight, maybe to Florida or to the West Coast?
Any advice?
Thank you so much!

I was seeing a lot of posts by Purdue global students as well as other people claiming that the difference between the two isn't great and are nearly the same. This is completely false.

Not only employers but even other accrediting agencies don't consider them equivalent. I was surfing through some German grad school programmes for a relative of mine and just browsed through the Purdue system in their anabin database. It shows a different accreditation for Purdue global compared to other Purdue campuses.

Purdue has H+ and Global has +/- , this essentially means that if you're planning to apply for a job or studying something in Germany(and probably for the rest of the EU as well), the global degree won't be considered equivalent to a Purdue University degree. You can check the database yourself:- https://anabin.kmk.org/db/institutionen .

So be careful where you spend your dollars.

I was reading online that the school has a limit of 16/-8 credits now per term or something like the line. What’s the shortest amount of time someone can finish a MBA. I’m looking to enroll in the ExcelTrack® Program

Hey,
I would be starting my Exceltrack BSBA from august 26th. Planning to finish the remaining courses in 2 Terms. Would really appreciate any tips, suggestions, and planning my schedule to meet my target.

Which courses to take knockdown first? Grading timeline, types of assessment. Any info regarding these would be really helpful.

TIA

As the header stated is any taking IT299 in the upcoming term starting later this month?

I wanted to reach out to my professor a couple times now about things surrounding assignments, discussions, etc. She has a virtual office in the discussions but from my own experience trying it as well as seeing others try, she does not seem to check or respond to them. When I email her on the email provided it says the email does not exist. What am I to do? This is my first term at PG so I’m still pretty unaware of how to handle these things.

How long were you out of school before returning? We're proud to say that many of our students are working adults who decided to go back to school later in life. Let's hear your story!
