Yes I have one - an opinion that is. I am unsure about BSU but I suspect that it is an unaccredited school that takes some shortcuts. I also suspect that a reasonably substantial amount of work would be required to earn a degree.
BSU wouldn't be on my list of choices. I like some of the pre-sunset California approved schools such as California Southern U. and California Pacific U.
Five years ago when I enrolled in my then unaccredited California Coast U. program the cost for a combined masters/doctoral program was $5,000. Since then similar programs seem to have doubled or tripled.
If South African schools can work, they would be a good choice. All your eggs are in one basket. Your success or failure depends on one project, your thesis, supervised by one supervisor with his unique opinions and psychological warts. I don't know if South African universities are as keyed to student success as American schools.
